Did you know that we can place dental Implants and secure a denture to them in only one visit? Teeth-In-A-Day can offer a full smile with fixed dentures that can last for decades. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist talks about how we can place a full set of new teeth in only one day.
The Causes and Dangers of Total Tooth Loss
When you have lost most or all of your teeth, this could lead to serious trouble for your smile and overall oral health. Losing most of your teeth means issues eating and could leave you deprived of essential nutrients. Tooth loss could also impact how you speak. You may even avoid social interaction, which harms your overall quality of life. But as the body stops sending doses of calcium and phosphorus to the jaw around the missing roots, your smile also breaks down as the jaw shrinks, and the risk of a much older appearance develops. But we can prevent these major complications and preserve your smile with implant dentures, and with All-On-Four, this can be done in only one visit!
Planning Your Tooth Replacement
To begin, we will need to assess the cause and severity of your tooth loss, and look at the strength of your jawbone structure. We will conduct a detailed examination with digital x-rays to plan your treatment, choosing the best angles, positions, and depths to insert your dental implants. With traditional implant dentures, you may need to first undergo grafting or a sinus lift to provide enough structure to support one or more dental implants. But with the All-On-Four system, we can use only four unique posts per starch, which means no need for surgery to strengthen the jaw beforehand.
All-On-Four Placement
Our team will begin with an initial visit to examine the smile with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras. We take impressions that will help us design and craft your denture. You then return for a second visit, and we will insert the implant posts into your jaw and in the same sitting, attach your denture. In the same visit, we may extract the last few teeth to pave the way for your full denture. You leave our office with a full smile! The prosthetic will be fixed in place, so no slippage when you eat or speak, and no need to take it out for maintenance. You can enjoy new teeth that look and function like natural teeth and can last for decades to come, possibly an entire lifetime.
If you have any questions about how we ensure a full smile, in one visit with the All-On-Four system, then contact our team today to learn more.
