a dentist has recomended a full mouth of implants

Q. Hi there after having a polop removed at the hospital the dentist who carried out the proceedure has recomended a full mouth of implants as he was worried that bone loss is going to occur. after reading the info on your site i was wondering if having implants for the full mouth, what the dental hygine routin would be? it says normal hygine but what happens with food that is stuck or is there no plate? 

A. A full mouth implant reconstruction usually means bridges and crowns. Normal brushing with additional cleaning between teeth using bottle brushes like “Tepes” or woodsticks is fine it is the same as crowns on natural teeth.
If you have a denture anchored by implants it should be firm and not trap food. It is not difficult to remove the plate and bush the clips that hold onto the denture. However some patients are not as diligent at doing this as they should be!

SHOULD A DENTIST DO A FULL MOUTH EXTRACTION AND SIMULTANEOUSLY PLACE IMPLANTS OR SHOULD THERE BE A TIME LAPSE BETWEEN THE TWO.

Can you tell me what makes you a suitable candidate for dental implants, and also if you don’t mind what doesn’t? Nice short answers would be best thanks

Good Oral health and hygiene are essential to get the best result for dental implants. There also needs to be enough bone in the jaw to support dental implants. Regards
