20 May Repair Tooth Loss With All-On-4
When you have lost several of your teeth, whether due to an accident, periodontal disease, or other reason, you need restorative treatment that can replace your missing teeth as soon as possible, is long-lasting, and blends in naturally with your smile. Many patients may qualify for All-on-4 implants, also known as teeth in a day, which use four dental implants to secure your bridge in place. Today, your Tulsa, OK, oral surgery team is here to talk about the benefits of this treatment.
A Convenient And Comfortable Treatment
Replacing your missing teeth used to take several months and many appointments. Thanks to advancements in dental technology, you may be able to restore your smile in just one appointment with All-on-4. Once our team has consulted with you and approved this method, we will strategically place four implant posts in your jaw. We craft your bridge in our office on the same day as your appointment and secure it in place. Instead of needing to plan for several visits to have impressions taken, a temporary piece installed, and adjustments for the permanent one, you can leave our office after your appointment with a completely restored smile.
Your Bridge Is Secure And Low Maintenance
A traditional dental bridge is secured in place and supported by crowns. To make your smile even more sturdy, we can secure the bridge to four strategically placed implants, which stimulate your jaw and protect it from deteriorating. Traditional bridges do not support your jaw, and it can weaken over time. With the addition of implants, you can have a well-supported smile for many years to come. Additionally, All-on-4 requires minimal maintenance. You will continue following your regular oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing twice a day and visiting your dentist twice a year. Your bridge should last for many years and can be restored if damaged.
Replace Your Missing Teeth With Lifelike Prosthetics
Recreating your lost teeth involves more than finding a treatment that improves your ability to chew and talk. The treatment should also look and feel comfortable for you, as the patient. One of the most significant advantages of All-on-4 is that it appears lifelike and blends in with your smile. Porcelain, a lifelike material, mimics the shade and shape of your natural pearly whites. You can feel confident in your new look, knowing that others will not be able to tell you have false teeth.
