Our team can not only place an individual dental implant, but we can also support a complete set of dentures. In fact, with the All-On-Four system, our team can provide a complete set of fixed dentures in only one visit. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral and maxillofacial surgeons talk about how we secure a full set of dental implant dentures!
The Impact of Advanced Tooth Loss
When you lose most or all of your teeth, these exposed gaps can leave your smile vulnerable to issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism, and can limit your meal options, depriving you of essential nutrients. You can feel embarrassed about your appearance and may work to hide your smile or avoid social interactions. The lack of tooth roots means your jaw will lose mass and density, shrinking to cause an older appearance! But we can often help in one visit with the All-On-Four dental implant denture system.
The All-On-Four System
Unlike traditional options, this only requires four implant posts per arch. These are designed to require less structure to support, so you can often obtain a new smile without the need for grafting or sinus lifts beforehand to strengthen your smile. We will guide the posts into place with special digital technology, so they can stimulate the growth of bone structure and support your prosthetic. Instead of waiting months for the area to heal, we will attach the abutments to the post in one visit and then connect a set of custom dentures. These will be made to look natural and provide a durable chewing surface, and reflect your unique facial structure. In the same visit, we will attach them so you leave with a full smile!
Preserving Your Smile
To preserve your new smile and increase the chances of your prosthetics lasting decades or even a lifetime. You will need to brush and floss them as you would natural teeth. You don’t have to remove them for soaking or brushing, instead they will look and function like natural teeth, and you can care for them in a similar manner. We may examine them in a follow-up visit, and your general dentist will also monitor them when you come in for cleanings. If you have any questions about how we support a full set of custom dentures with only four dental implants, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you enjoy a full smile again!
