Hoop, DDS to learn your full-mouth reconstruction options!
For your convenience, we have a Fort Myers, FL dentist office and a North Naples, FL dentist office. Regardless of which one you visit, Dr. George Hoop and our team of dental professionals can turn back the clock and restore your strong bite with beautiful restorative dentistry options, including a variety of dentures! We’ll even provide a free preview of your full-mouth reconstruction so you’ll know what to expect!

Benefits Of Securing Your Full-Mouth Reconstruction With Dental Implants

Dental implants are composed of three parts:

• The dental implants
• The dental restorations, or replacement teeth
• The abutment screw used to attach your restorations to your implants

Compared to other tooth replacement options, dental implants offer many advantages, because they:

• Can last a lifetime with proper care
• Feel, function, and look just like your natural pearly whites
• Provide up to 90 percent of the chewing power that your natural teeth do
• Replace your tooth roots, preventing bone loss in your jaw so you can maintain your youthful look

In order to have dental implants placed, you will need a strong, thick jaw. To determine if you are a good candidate, we will get highly-detailed panoramic images of your jaw using state-of-the-art dental technology, including digital X-rays and 3D cone beam CT scans. We’ll even provide a free consultation for dental implants, so you won’t waste money on a service that doesn’t work for you.
If your jaw is not strong enough for standard dental implants, we may still be able to help thanks to revolutionary mini dental implants! These work just like standard implants, but they are smaller.

Planning Your Full-Mouth Reconstruction

When it comes to preparing for your treatment, we will use the advanced dental technology mentioned above to precisely plan each step of the process. We will also use our cutting-edge intraoral scanners to take a digital impression of your mouth so we can have your dentures made to exact specifications without the need for messy, uncomfortable impression methods.

Fountain Of Youth™ Dentures

George A. Hoop, DDS proudly offers Fountain of Youth™ dentures, a full-arch tooth replacement option that closely replicates the position, chewing power, and appearance of your natural teeth!
Because they are attached to dental implants, Fountain of Youth dentures will be securely held in place, prevent jawbone loss, and provide natural-feeling chewing power.
Unlike some other dentures options, Fountain of Youth dentures do not have a “sunken in” look because they are fitted in a position closer to where your natural teeth were. Fountain of Youth dentures also ensure this realistic appearance because they are crafted to replicate the height of your natural teeth!

Your Other Custom Options For Dentures

Because every patient has unique needs, we offer an array of options for dentures, including:

• Full dentures held in place by adhesive
• Partial dentures
• Implant-retained dentures
• Implant-supported dentures

We can even provide temporary dentures so you won’t have to go without teeth while your custom tooth replacements are being made!

Replace Missing Teeth To Stay Healthy

Did you know that missing teeth can also affect your overall health? Because chewing certain fruits and vegetables may be more difficult or even painful, many people with missing teeth do not maintain a diverse, healthy diet. If you have several missing teeth, your remaining teeth may also be experiencing undue stress.

Your Comfort Is Our Priority

When you visit George A. Hoop, DDS, our friendly team will treat you like family. We will listen carefully to your smile goals and explain all of your treatment options, so you can make an informed decision that suits your needs best.
We’ll also ensure your treatment is as pleasant as possible in a variety of ways. If there is any chance of discomfort, for example, we can numb the area with anesthetic so you won’t feel a thing. If you are nervous, we can also relieve your dental anxiety with dental sedation options, including:

• Nitrous oxide sedation, more commonly known as “laughing gas”
• Oral conscious sedation in pill form

We can also provide extended appointments so you won’t feel rushed! We’ll work at your pace!

Dental Implants Explained

Dental implants are a strong tooth replacement option composed of three parts:

• The dental implant
• A tooth restoration option like the ones listed above
• A screw called an abutment that connects the implant and restoration

Unlike most other tooth replacement options, dental implants actually replace your natural tooth roots because they are placed in your jaw beneath the gumline, where they literally fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This provides a strong, sturdy foundation for replacement teeth.

The Many Benefits Of Dental Implants

Because dental implants fuse with your jawbone, they provide stronger biting power than other tooth replacement options like traditional dental bridges or adhesive-based dentures. Many of our patients regain up to 90 percent of their natural biting power!
Here are some of the other advantages dental implants offer:

• Look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth
• Can last a lifetime with proper care
• No preparation of your surrounding healthy teeth required
• Prevent bone loss to help you maintain your youthful look

The Dental Implant Process

When you visit George A. Hoop, DDS in need of tooth replacement options, we will discuss all of your choices with you so you can make the decision that is best for your smile. So you’ll know exactly what to expect, we’ll also explain each step of the process before we begin.
If we decide together that dental implants are right for you, we will first use state-of-the-art dental technology to precisely plan your procedure, including:

• Digital X-rays
• Intraoral scanners
• 3D cone beam CT scanners

This careful assessment will also allow us to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible. Once we have a detailed plan in place, we will numb the area with anesthetic so you won’t feel a thing and then nestle your dental implants into your jaw.
Following a healing period, we will then attach your custom-made dental restorations to complete your beautifully repaired smile!
If you are feeling nervous about the procedure, our friendly team will do everything we can to put you at ease. We can even relieve your dental anxiety with dental sedation options, such as:

• Nitrous oxide sedation, more commonly known as “laughing gas,” a gas mixed with oxygen which quickly relieves your stress and allows you to relax.
• Oral conscious sedation in pill form, which we can prescribe during an initial consultation. You will take it at a predetermined time before your visit so you’ll arrive completely calm.

We can also provide extended appointments by request so you won’t feel rushed at all during your visit!

Determining If Dental Implants Are Right For You

Because dental implants require a thick, strong jawbone, we will have to determine if you are a good candidate using some of the dental technology mentioned above. But even if you have been told your jaw is too thin for dental implants, we may still be able to help with mini dental implants!

The Importance Of Replacing Missing Teeth

If you have missing teeth, you have undoubtedly noticed how the gaps in your smile have affected your confidence. You may also be having difficulty chewing certain foods. But did you know that missing teeth can lead to other issues with your oral and overall health over time?
If you do not quickly replace missing teeth, your surrounding teeth will likely drift out of position over time. And, because your mouth will have to compensate for the missing teeth in some way, you may put undue stress on your remaining teeth and your gums. Because you will be less inclined to eat difficult-to-chew, nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, you may also eat less healthfully.
