LOWER FULL ARCH IMPLANTS

Tooth loss from the lower arch causes a remarkable effect on the Aesthetics due to the collapse of the lower one third of the face, making the person look much older than he is.

Replacement of teeth using conventionally removable dentures will not be of much help as the denture will be very unstable owing to the presence of the tongue and movement of the floor of the mouth while speaking and chewing. The jaw bone continues to resorb irrespective of the presence of denture as there is no stimulation to the bone, which was previously provided by the natural tooth roots. Dental implants are the favourable treatment of choice to replace teeth in the lower arch.

 Available options for the replacement of teeth on implants in the lower jaw:

1) LOWER DENTURE IMPLANTS:
