Full Arch Rehabilitation: Restoring Function and Confidence
Full arch rehabilitation is a comprehensive dental treatment designed to restore a complete set of teeth on either the upper or lower arch. It’s ideal for patients who have lost multiple or all teeth due to decay, trauma, or other oral health issues. This procedure combines implants, bridges, or dentures to rebuild the arch and give you back a fully functional, beautiful smile.
How the Procedure Works: Full arch rehabilitation typically involves placing dental implants to anchor a full set of artificial teeth. In some cases, temporary solutions like bridges or dentures are used during the healing period. Once the implants are fully integrated into the jawbone, permanent prosthetics are placed to restore your smile and chewing function. The treatment is customized to your needs, ensuring optimal aesthetics and comfort.
Benefits:
- Restores Full Functionality: Regain the ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Long-Lasting Results: Dental implants provide a permanent solution, offering durability and strength similar to natural teeth.
- Improved Aesthetics: The procedure restores the natural contour and appearance of your smile.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: With a complete set of teeth, you can enjoy a wider range of foods and experience greater comfort and confidence in daily activities.
- Minimal Maintenance: With proper care, a full arch rehabilitation can last many years, requiring only routine dental check-ups.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Is the procedure painful? Full arch rehabilitation is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Afterward, there may be mild discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication.
- How long does the procedure take? Treatment time varies depending on the complexity, but it generally takes a few months for the full process, including healing time for the implants.
- How long will the results last? With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, while prosthetics (like crowns or bridges) may need replacement after several years.
- Who is a good candidate for full arch rehabilitation? Candidates should have healthy gums and adequate bone structure to support dental implants. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for the procedure.
