Total tooth loss could cause serious trouble for your oral health, bite function, and even your facial structure. But we can secure a replacement option, a full and fixed denture, in only one visit with All-On-Four. In today’s blog, your West Allis, WI, dentist talks about our same-day dental implant dentures and how we can offer a full smile again!
The Impact of Total Tooth Loss
What happens when we lose most or all of our teeth? With tooth roots to stimulate jawbone tissue growth, the jawbone itself breaks down. This then leads to weakened jawbone, further tooth loss, and eventually, an older appearance. You could be severely limited in your meal options and clear speech could be difficult. Your quality of life could suffer as your social interactions decrease. We don’t want to see your facial structure and smile change, and we want to make sure you can enjoy good oral health and a full smile again. With All-On-Four, we could restore your smile in only one visit.
Planning the Procedure
To begin, we will look closely at your smile to assess the cause and severity of your tooth loss. We may need to manage issues like periodontitis to prevent this from impacting your new smile. We also look for the best areas, angles, and positions to insert your new roots. With All-On-Four, we only need to place four small implant posts per arch, which sit at angles that can stimulate new jawbone growth and stay secure for decades to come. In the planning stages, we may also remove the last few teeth to make room for your new smile.
All-On-Four Placement
Our team will insert these posts surgically, guiding them with advanced digital technology. Once the four posts are in place, we will connect abutments to them so we can attach your new smile. We will have a full row of new teeth designed to look natural and absorb daily bite forces. We will connect these to the posts, so you leave our office with a complete smile. If you have any questions about how our team will provide a complete smile again, or if you have advanced tooth loss you want to address, then please reach out to our office today. We want to start you on your journey to a full and beautiful smile.
