When we lose the majority of our teeth, this can impact our daily life in a number of ways. We could be limited in our meal options, have trouble speaking clearly, and even develop an aged appearance. But we can help halt these complications with the placement of dental implant dentures. At your Oklahoma City, OK, dentist office, we can place and restore a set of All-On-4 Implant dentures in one visit.
The Dangers Posed by Tooth Loss
We always urge people to seek treatment for tooth loss, particularly if you’ve lost the majority of your teeth. Otherwise, your quality of life suffers as your diet is severely limited, and speaking clearly can be a problem. You could also feel uncomfortable in social situations, which impacts your quality of life in a negative fashion. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body will suspend the floss of key nutrients to the jaw around the missing roots, which cause this portion to break down. Over time, this breakdown means further tooth loss and a prematurely aged appearance! But with teeth in a day, we can use dental implants to support dentures and prevent these complications.
The All-On-4 Benefits
All-On-4 only needs four posts per arch to support a complete set of dentures. We set these at the right angles and positions to support dentures and also stimulate the growth of jawbone tissue, preventing the loss of mass and density from occurring and keeping your youthful features intact. In the same visit as the implant placement, we will connect abutments to the post and then attach the denture. The prosthetic portion is custom-made from durable and lifelike materials so your new teeth look and function like natural teeth. We take care to ensure they can handle daily bite forces and also offer a natural-looking appearance.
Maintaining Your New Smile
In just a matter of hours, we can secure a complete smile. To keep your new teeth healthy and strong, you need to practice good oral hygiene habits and visit the dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. These actions help control factors like periodontal disease, which could impact the stability of your smile. With proper care and attention, your new teeth have the potential to last for decades to come, possibly for a lifetime!
