Did you know we could support a full set of new teeth with just four dental implants? Not only that, but that we can complete the entire process in only one visit? In today’s blog, Stubbs Family Dentistry talks about how we help secure full smiles with All-On-Four for our patients in West Allis, WI. In a single sitting, you can obtain lifelike results and a durable new smile.
The Dangers of Severe Tooth Loss
When you lose most of your natural teeth, or all of them, then you need tooth replacement. Otherwise, the lack of tooth roots in your smile means the jaw will erode and lose mass and density, causing an older appearance. You could be severely limited in your meal options, depriving your body of essential vitamins and nutrients in the process. Speaking clearly could be difficult too! To restore function, health, and beauty to your smile, we can keep your jaw intact with implant-supported dentures, which are fixed in place and never slip or require removal for soaking or cleaning! These can last decades instead of just 5 to 10 years.
Securing Your New Dental Implants
With All-On-Four, we will numb your smile and then gently extract the last few teeth to make room for your new smile. With digital x-rays and CT imaging, we can assess the strength of your jaw and then choose the best angle, position, and depth to secure your new posts. Since these dental implants do not require as much jawbone structure to stay in place, even weakened jaws can support them without the need for grafting and sinus lifts in many cases.
Attaching Your New Smile
Once your new dental implants are in place, only four per arch, we can then attach dentures. No need to wait for the placement area to heal as you would with traditional implant dentures, instead in the same visit we will connect an abutment to the posts that allow us to attach a complete set of dentures, a custom-made row of new teeth that look natural. These can handle daily bite forces and pressures, and help you feel confident when you speak or interact with others in social situations. Your overall quality of life can improve significantly!
