The Loss of Your Smile
How does the loss of our natural teeth lead to issues with the appearance of our smile and facial structure? Missing teeth obviously leads to issues eating and speaking, but the body will also suspend the flow of key nutrients to the jaw around the missing roots. Without these nutrients, the bone tissue itself begins to weaken and erode. Over time, this breakdown is linked to further tooth loss, worsening erosion as a result of further tooth loss, and an older appearance. The weakened jawbone structure also means there may not be enough structure to support dental implants, limiting traditional tooth replacement options. But with All-On-Four, we can help restore and preserve your smile.
Securing All-On-Four
As the name implies, this is a full denture that will be supported with only four dental implants per arch, instead of the six to eight that are usually required. Our team will carefully examine your smile with advanced imaging technology so we can identity the best angles, positions, and depths to insert your dental implants. Our team will use local anesthesia and sedation to ensure you are comfortable as we guide these posts into your jaw. The body will accept them as natural root structure and bond with them, so you have replacement teeth that can last for decades to come. In the same visit, we also attach a prosthetic!
Attaching Your Denture
The prosthetic will contain a complete row of new teeth, all made from durable and lifelike ceramic material. They will be able to take on daily bite forces and pressures with ease. Initially, we will attach a temporary one and later, will swap this for the permanent and final prosthetic. You don’t have to live with an incomplete smile, we will provide a full set of new teeth so you can smile with confidence and enjoy your favorite meals again!
If you have any questions about how our team will plan and place our All-On-Four implants, or about the benefits of teeth in a day, then contact our team today.
