When you suffer from severe tooth loss, you may need a complete set of dentures. While effective, removable dentures may only last a few years, and do not prevent the loss of mass and density in your jaw. However, your team at Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology can support fixed denture with dental implants, which last far longer and are far more secure!
Severe Tooth Loss and Poor Quality of Life
Losing the majority of your natural teeth can be due to a severe injury, or in most cases, the presence of periodontitis, the advanced stage of gum disease. When you lose so many of your natural teeth, your quality of life and oral health suffer. Without tooth roots to stimulate jawbone growth, your jawbone erodes to cause an older appearance. You could also have limited meal options, issues with clear speech, and your embarrassment regarding your appearance may cause you to avoid social interactions. However, our team can help! We can secure fixed dentures using dental implants, providing a new smile in one appointment with All-On-Four!
Dental Implant Placement
The process begins with dental implant placement. We will examine your jawbone with advanced digital imaging, so we can choose the best areas to insert your new tooth roots. We choose the optimal position, depth, and angle, and with All-On-Four we use posts that require less bone structure to secure then traditional options. We only need to place four of them per arch to support a complete row of teeth, and we guide the placement process with digital imaging to ensure precision and accuracy. Next, we move on to securing your new teeth, a fixed denture that will look natural.
Securing Your All-On-Four Smile
Our team will create a complete row of ceramic teeth that look natural and have the ability to handle daily bite forces and pressures. We then attach these new teeth to your dental implants, which fixes them in place so they never slip. You don’t have to remove them for cleaning or soaking, and the implants stimulate jawbone growth to keep your jawbone and facial structure intact, so your new teeth can last decades or possibly even a lifetime. If you have any questions about securing fixed dentures using dental implants, or about starting your All-On-Four journey, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. Even if you have lost most or all of your teeth, we can help you smile with confidence again.
