When you have lost the majority of your natural teeth and require a full set of dentures, you may assume this is a process that involves multiple visits. But! What if our team could secure a full smile in only one visit? In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist talks about how we secure Teeth In A Day with dental implants.
The Impact of Edentulism
What happens when we lose most of our teeth, or all of them? When we suffer from total tooth loss, referred to as edentulism, this could severely limit our meal options, depriving us of essential nutrients and our favorite dishes. Losing our teeth also means issues speaking clearly, and could cause embarrassment in social situations. You may even avoid being social! The body will also respond by suspending the flow of essential nutrients to the jaw around your missing roots. Without these nutrients, the bone tissue breaks down to cause an older appearance. To preserve your youthful facial features and enjoy a better quality of life, you need a new set of teeth and we can offer this in only one day.
Inserting Your Dental Implants
Our team will begin by extracting any few remaining teeth and then taking detailed digital images of your smile from multiple angles. We use these to plan the placement of your dental implants, so they sit at the right angles, positions, and depths to secure a full smile for decades to come, possibly a lifeline. Our team will then insert the dental implants, usually as little as four per arch. These are designed to require less structure for support, and once in place the body will resume the flow of nutrients to the jaw to keep it intact and ensure your new roots can stay in place for decades to come.
Attaching Your New Teeth
In the same visit, our team will connect a set of new and lifelike teeth to the dental implant posts. You then leave our office with a complete smile, one that looks and functions like natural teeth, so you can enjoy better oral health, bite function, and a more attractive appearance. If you have any questions about how we secure Teeth in a Day, or if you have advanced tooth loss that needs attention, then contact our team today to learn more. Be sure to see us soon so you can use your 2024 dental benefits before they expire.
