If you suffer from major tooth loss, then you could benefit from a set of dentures. For a prosthodontic option that is more severe and longer-lasting than removable dentures, we can offer an implant-secured alternative. In today’s blog, Dreem Dentistry in Leawood, KS, talks about the All-On-X system.
The Loss of Natural Teeth and The Complications
When you lose your natural teeth, especially losing a majority or all of them, this causes the body to stop sending calcium and phosphorus to the jawbone. Without these nutrients, the structure around the missing tooth roots wears down, creating an aged appearance. Major tooth loss also impacts your meal options, how clear you can speak, and whether you feel confident in social situations, which all impact your overall quality of life. That to say, when you suffer from tooth loss, you need a solution. Instead of a traditional removable denture, we can offer a more secure and longer-lasting option using the dental implant supported All-On-X system, which takes only one visit to secure!
The All-On-X System
With the All-On-X system, we will gently extract the last few teeth and then take digital images of your bite, which we use to assess your underlying jawbone and choose the best angles, positions, and depths to insert your dental implants. We could place only four to six dental implants per arch, spaced and inserted at specific positions to ensure the jawbone remains intact and your new teeth have the ability to truly last. This also helps your youthful facial features remain intact! Our team will then attach abutments to the posts and connect a full set of new and lifelike ceramic teeth in the same sitting. When you leave, you do so with a complete smile that looks natural!
Preserving Your New Smile
All-On-X provides the potential to last a lifetime, but care is needed to help protect your dental implants from issues like periodontitis that could threaten them. You should clean them daily as we recommend, and see our team for a routine checkup and cleaning every few months so we can monitor your new smile. Between the care at home and in our office, we can help you enjoy a lifetime of full and beautiful smiles, and enjoy your favorite dishes along the way.
If you have any questions about how we secure a complete set of new teeth in only one visit, or if you want to start your journey to a full smile now and greet summer with a complete smile, then contact us now!
