01 Aug We Want To Restore Your Smile With All-On-Four
When you have lost the majority of your natural teeth, we want to offer you a complete smile, so you can enjoy your favorite foods and avoid long-term complications! With All-On-Four, we can offer a full row of new teeth on one or both arches. Our team at our dental implant center in Stillwater, OK explains how we secure our All-On-Four dental implants.
The Risks of Untreated Tooth Loss
First, let’s talk about the risks associated with untreated tooth loss. When we lose a majority of our natural teeth, this could leave us severely limited in our meal options, depriving us of our favorite dishes and good nutrients. We could have issues speaking clearly, which impacts our social life and quality of life. Advanced tooth loss could also lead to an older appearance, as lack of tooth roots means the jawbone loses mass and density. But with All-On-Four, we can stop these issues from occurring and help you enjoy a full and functional smile, one that looks natural too, in a single visit!
Planning the All-On-Four Process
To begin, we will first extract any few remaining teeth. The process can be done quickly and comfortably, sometimes in as little as 30 minutes. We then gather detailed digital images and x-rays of your entire smile, so we can choose the best angle, position, and depth to insert your implant posts. Made from biocompatible titanium, these will be designed to be accepted by the body as natural root structure, so the body resumes the flow of calcium and phosphorus and your jawbone is preserved. They are also smaller and since we only need four per arch, this means no need for grafting or sinus lift procedures beforehand.
Securing Your New Teeth
Our team will insert the four posts at their optimal positions, where they can bond with the jaw over time through a process known as osseointegration. Once in place, we can connect your set of teeth. In only one visit, you can leave with a full smile. The materials we use ensure they not only look natural, but also absorb daily bite forces and pressures with ease. With proper care and attention, there is the potential for them to last decades, maybe even a lifetime, while traditional dentures only last a few years.
