DIEM Arch Replacement According to the American College of Prosthodontists, about 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. Thirty-six million people in the U.S. do not have any teeth at all. If you fall into the latter category, you have come to the right place!At Elliott Dentistry, we specialize in several full-arch replacement options for patients missing all or most of their teeth. One of our most common treatments is DIEM full arch replacement, a complete fixed bridge supported by a series of dental implants. This immensely beneficial treatment concept has revolutionized the way we replace missing teeth. What Is DIEM Treatment Concept?A dental implant is a small titanium screw that mimics the root component of a missing tooth. A single implant is used to support a crown, while a series of implants can be used for a partial or complete fixed bridge. In the past, a complete fixed bridge required a minimum of six to eight implants per arch. DIEM full arch replacement is a complete bridge or fixed denture that only requires 6 implants. It can be used to replace full arches of upper or lower teeth. DIEM Full Arch Replacement ProcessAs with any implant procedure, the DIEM process begins with a consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Elliott and Dr. Ellis will perform a series of diagnostic tests to ensure you are a suitable candidate for implant treatment. This may include x-rays, photographs, CBCT scans, and other 3D imaging technology. Most people healthy enough to undergo minor surgery should qualify for the DIEM procedure. Unlike other implant treatments, DIEM full arch replacement does not typically require preliminary procedures like bone grafts. Once the implants are in place, we will attach the abutments, support structures that link the screws to your restoration. Then, we may install a prefabricated temporary restoration. DIEM full arch replacement is one of the few implant treatments that allow for same-day restoration placement. Most implant-supported restorations need to be placed at a later date. It is important to note that the first restoration we place is temporary. Once the healing process is complete, we will take an impression of your mouth and fabricate a permanent fixed bridge or denture. Benefits of DIEM Full Arch Replacement
