11 Oct How Long Will All-On-Four Last?
When you have major tooth loss and our team prescribes All-On-Four, we can secure a full set of implant-supported teeth in only one visit. But once we do, how long will these new teeth stay in place? Our team at our dental implant center in Stillwater, OK talks about how long these new teeth can last!
When to Consider All-On-Four?
When should you see our team for a set of new teeth? When you lose a single tooth, our team can place an individual dental implant to replace it and preserve the jawbone in the process. For gaps of two to four missing teeth, we could secure an implant bridge in that space. But if you have lost large numbers of teeth on one or both arches, this could be beyond the placement of a bridge or even a partial. Instead, you may need a full set of new teeth to protect the jawbone and your facial structure. With All-On-Four, we can offer a full set of teeth in one visit, with results that are designed to last for decades to come with proper care and attention.
Placing Your New Roots and Teeth
They can last so long because we support them with dental implants. These are titanium posts that are biocompatible, meaning the body accepts them as natural root structure. Once inserted into the jaw at specific angles and positions, these can stimulate the growth of jawbone structure to prevent the breakdown that usually accompanies tooth loss., Your jaw and facial structure remain firm, and your new teeth have a base that can last decades or even a lifetime with care and attention. The entire process, from the placement of your new roots to the attachment of your new teeth, only takes one visit too.
Keeping Them in Place
To help them last, you should see our team for follow-up visits to ensure they remain stable and strong. Continue to see your general dentist for checkups and cleanings too, removing the plaque and tartar that could lead to issues that threaten implants, such as gum disease. At home, you should brush and floss these as you would natural teeth, and try to avoid tobacco products and limit sugar consumption. These factors help you enjoy good oral health and ensure your new teeth stay strong and bright.
