When you lose a significant number of teeth, but also lose jawbone mass and density, then you may have complications for receiving implant dentures. However, we have an option that not only addresses significant tooth loss, but could do so in one day. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist talks about Teeth in a Day.
Addressing Tooth Loss
Losing several of our natural teeth could lead to major complications for the beauty, health, and function of your smile. You could have trouble eating a variety of foods, or even speaking clearly. For others, missing teeth could mean misalignment, increased risks of infection and disease, and disorders like TMD and bruxism (chronic teeth grinding). But the major issue is the fact that the body will suspend the flow of calcium and phosphorus to the jawbone. Without these nutrients, the bone tissue begins to break down. Over time, the loss of mass and density means further tooth loss and an aged appearance!
The Dental Implant Benefits
Dental implants help by stimulating the body to resume the flow of the nutrients that prevent loss of mass and density. The body accepts them as natural roots because we craft the implant posts from biocompatible titanium. We insert the screw-like post into the jawbone, where it bonds with the bone tissue through osseointegration. We then attach an individual crown, or possibly a full set of dentures or similar prosthetics. You have a prosthetic that fits comfortably, looks natural, and preserves the stability and appearance of your bite and facial structure.
Teeth in a Day
With Teeth in a Day, we complete the entire process in one day. We place smaller, more economical implant posts into each arch and then in the same visit, attach abutments and a prosthetic. Instead of relying on between six and eight post, we can often accomplish this with as little as four! You leave with a complete smile, even if you’ve lost bone tissue or developed complications that could cause issues with traditional tooth replacement options. If you have missing teeth, then contact our team to schedule a consultation so we can find the best option for your smile. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, or about what can be done to prevent tooth loss in the first place, then contact our team today.
