26 Nov Supporting A Complete Smile In One Day
Do you have significant tooth loss? Has it been years since you could smile with confidence or enjoy your favorite meal? What if you could enjoy a complete smile again in only one visit? Our team at our dental implant center in Stillwater, OK explains how All-On-Four can provide a fixed and lifelike smile same-day, so you can smile without hesitation again.
How Tooth Loss Impacts Your Life
What will losing your teeth do for your daily life? Missing teeth can lead to imbalance in your bite, increasing the risk of issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You remaining teeth may drift from position to create misalignment, and you could have trouble eating your favorite foods. Some have issues speaking clearly due to tooth loss, and may avoid social interactions, which has a negative impact on their quality of life. You also develop a prematurely aged appearance due to tooth loss, as the body stops sending important nutrients to the jaw around missing roots, causing the jaw to gradually weaken and breakdown. You then lose additional teeth and look much older. But we can help prevent this, and all in a single visit!
Starting the All-On-Four Process
To begin, we will examine your smile and if necessary, gently extract the last few teeth to make room for your new set of teeth. Our team then examines the smile to choose the best angle, position, and depth to insert your new dental implant posts. We only need four, and these are designed to require less structure for support than traditional dental implants. Which means even if your jawbone has weakened, we can often support new teeth without the need for grafting or sinus lift procedures.
Securing Your New Teeth in One Day
When the time comes for placement, we will insert the dental implant posts and in the same visit, attach your new teeth to them. These will be custom-made to ensure a lifelike appearance and a comfortable fit, so you can enjoy optimal results, leaving our office with a full smile that looks natural and functions like natural teeth too. If you have any questions about how we take on tooth loss with the All-On-Four system, or if you want to start treatment today to smile with confidence, then contact our team right away.
