The Causes of Your Missing Teeth
First, let’s talk about tooth loss. When you need a full smile replacement, this means you have lost most or all of your natural teeth. For some, tooth loss is related to untreated cavities or infections, or possibly an injury to the face or jaw. However, the most common cause is typically periodontitis, the advanced stage of gum disease. As part of your treatment, we will carefully examine your smile to assess the cause and yet of your tooth loss. We may need to treat underlying issues like periodontitis to ensure the longevity of your new teeth.
Seeking Tooth Replacement
Our team will look at your smile and if necessary, extract the last few teeth to pave the way for your new set. With digital imaging systems, we can assess the strength of your jaw and choose the best areas to insert the new dental implants. Since the All-On-Four implants are smaller, they require less structure to stay in place, so you rarely need grafting or a sinus lift beforehand. Our team will choose the best angles, positions, and depths to insert these posts, so they can bond with the jaw and act as new roots. This enables your new smile to last for decades to come, possibly a lifetime. In the same visit, we will attach a full set of new teeth to the posts, so you leave our office with a full smile.
Maintaining Your New Smile
You will care for your new teeth as you could natural ones, brushing and flossing them daily. We will provide instructions to ensure optimal daily care, so your smile can last. We will also schedule follow-up visits to monitor them. In only one visit, you can enjoy a full smile again, one that lasts far longer than traditional dentures, and one that doesn’t need to be removed for cleaning, so no worries about slippage either. If you have any questions about how we treat tooth loss, then contact our team today. A full smile is possible!
