12 May Questions About All-on-4? We Have Answers!
If you have been dealing with a gap in your smile for quite some time, you may be overwhelmed with the many options for replacing your teeth. Dentures and bridges could be great methods to renew your smile, but they may take quite some time to receive and get them properly fitted. You may have heard before that our Oklahoma City, OK, team offers teeth in a day, but how does that work? Today, we’re here to answer this question and others that you may have.
What Are All-On-4 / Teeth In A Day?
All-on-4 is a secure dental bridge that is supported by four dental implants strategically placed throughout your smile. Traditionally, receiving dental implants could take several months and multiple appointments. With this new technology, you may be able to leave our office with a new and improved smile in just one appointment. In addition to having a shorter treatment period, your new teeth will look and feel natural, improve your mouth’s functions, and give you a renewed sense of confidence. If you are currently experiencing tooth loss, call our team to see if tooth replacement could be an option for you.
Can You Get Them Even With Bone Loss?
Bone loss can occur for several reasons—periodontal disease, smoking, medical conditions, and more. No matter what the reason may be, bone loss can be a frustrating problem. Other types of prosthetic teeth may require bone grafting before receiving them to ensure your jaw can support the false teeth. All-on-4 implants, consisting of smaller posts, may eliminate the need for bone grafting prior to the procedure. This approach can be highly beneficial for many people, as more patients may qualify for teeth in a day, and the waiting period can be much shorter. You will first need a consultation with our team before proceeding.
How Long Will They Last?
When it comes to finding a restorative treatment for tooth loss, you need one that looks and feels natural and will last for many years. Your all-on-4 implant will last for many years so long as you follow a proper oral hygiene routine and visit your dentist regularly. Not only will they last for many years, but they can also prevent your jaw from weakening over time. When you have lost a tooth or several, your jaw loses stimulation and can begin to atrophy. By strategically placing your dental implants, you can better support your smile for the long run.
