If you have lost most or all of your teeth, you need dentures. But what if instead of removable dentures, we could secure a full smile with dental implants in only one visit? With All-On-Four, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons can secure a full set of new and lifelike teeth same-day, so you leave with a full smile!
The Dangers of Severe Tooth Loss
When you have lost the majority of your natural teeth, this can impact your life in a number of different ways. For example, this could limit your meal options. Along with missing your favorite dishes, you could be denying your body essential nutrients. Missing teeth could also lead to issues speaking clearly and could cause embarrassment in social situations, so you are more likely to have a poorer quality of life. Your smile also erodes! Without the body sending regular nutrients to the areas with missing teeth, the jaw breaks down and weakens, which means further tooth loss and even the possibility of a prematurely aged appearance. But we can help with All-On-Four dental implants!
All-On-Four
In the past, supporting a set of dentures meant between six and eight posts per arch. Which means if tooth loss weakened your smile you would need to undergo surgical procedures like grafting or a sinus lift to ensure the smile could support them. But with All-On-Four, our team can support a new smile with just four small posts per arch, which requires less structure to support them. Even if your smile has weakened, we could insert these posts in one visit so you have a base for your new smile without the need for other procedures beforehand.
Completing Your New Smile
Once we insert the dental implant posts, our team will then connect a new set of teeth to them. For some, these are the final product, while others may receive a temporary that we will place later on. Regardless, you will leave the office with a full smile! These will be fixed in place so they never slip when you eat or speak, and since they act as new roots, they can stay in place for decades to come or possibly a lifetime with proper care and attention. In one sitting you can enjoy a full smile again!
