If you have lost most or all of your teeth, then you should talk to our team about implant dentistry. With the All-On-Four system, we can secure a full and fixed replacement smile in only one visit. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about the lifelike and long-lasting All-On-Four system!
The Benefits of Replacing Your Lost Teeth
When you lose most of your teeth, or all of them, this can cause serious problems for your day-to-day life. For example, you could be severely limited in your meal options, which means depriving yourself of good nutrition and your favorite dishes. You could have difficulties with clear speech too. You may feel embarrassed in social situations, which leads to poor quality of life. The body will also stop sending doses of calcium and phosphorus to the jawbone around your lost roots. This means the jaw weakens and erodes, which can lead to an aged appearance! But we can fight these complications by addressing your advanced tooth loss with the All-On-Four system.
The All-On-Four Process
Traditional dental implant dentures require between six and eight implant posts per arch. If your advanced tooth loss has weakened your jaw, you may not be able to receive these without first undergoing surgical procedures like grafting or a sinus lift. But with All-On-Four, we only need four small posts per arch. These require less structure to stay in place too, so we can often insert them into the jaw without the need for grafting or a sinus lift. We secure them at special angles, positions, and depths to ensure they can stimulate the growth of jawbone structure, so your smile doesn’t weaken. This means you maintain your youthful facial features, and that your new smile has the chance to stay in place for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.
Completing Your New Smile
What about your new teeth? We will create a custom set of new ceramic teeth, which will look natural and be able to handle daily bite forces and pressures. Our team will attach these to your post in the same visit, so you leave with a complete smile! No need to wait for the placement area to heal, you can enjoy a complete smile after only one session.
