If you’ve lost all of your teeth, or most of them, then you need a set of dentures to restore function, health, and beauty. Our team can accomplish this in as little as one appointment using dental implants. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist talks about how we place lifelike and durable Teeth-In-A-Day.
The Dangers of Tooth Loss
When we begin to lose the majority of our natural teeth, this could impact how we eat and what options are available to us, depriving our bodies of essential nutrients. Speaking clearly could be problematic, and this could impact social interaction and quality of life. As the body deprives the jawbone of calcium and phosphates due to the missing roots, this breakdown could cause an aged appearance too. With dental implants, we can address the gaps and preserve your jawbone and facial structure. For some, we could do this in one day!
Preparing Your Smile
First, we need to take a close look at your smile and assess the cause and extent of your tooth loss. After all., we may need to manage the presence of gum disease to avoid implant failure and further complications. Our team will gather detailed digital x-rays and intraoral camera images, so we plan and guide the placement of the dental implants. Even if you have weakened jawbone tissue, we could use All-On-Four to help!
Teeth in a Single Day
Our team will begin by placing as little as four dental implants into the arch, set at specific angles and positions to stimulate the growth of jawbone tissue and support a denture. These tend to be smaller and more economical. Next, we attach an abutment to the posts that will extend above the gum line. Next, we attach the custom-made prosthetic to the posts, providing a complete smile that looks great, fits comfortably, and restores function and health to your smile. For qualifying patients, this could mean a full smile in a single day, so you return home with a complete smile!
