Dental implants are very different from dental bridges and removable dentures. They can last longer, and are far more secure! In today’s blog, your team at Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about helping tooth loss with our dental implants, including All-On-Four for cases of total tooth loss!
The Need for Dental Implants
When should you consider a dental implant? Well, this is meant to provide our patient with a lifelike and long-lasting way to address minor and severe cases of missing teeth. Whether you lose one tooth or all of them, we can help replace what has been lost with dental implants. Since these implant posts act like new roots, this also keeps your jawbone intact, which helps your new teeth last for decades and also fights the risk of an aged appearance, which follows tooth loss in most cases.
Securing Your New Teeth
Our team will thoroughly examine your jaw to assess the extent of it and to choose the best angle, position, and depth to insert your new tooth roots. These implant posts are made from biocompatible titanium and look like tiny screws. We will guide their placement with digital technology, and once in place, the body will accept them as new roots and halt the loss of mass and density in the jaw, so your remaining natural teeth remain intact and your new ones can last for years to come, far longer than traditional ridges and removable dentures.
We complete an individual one by connecting a custom crown to the post. We can also use one or two of them to support a dental bridge, so you can enjoy treatment for a larger gap without losing structure on the natural teeth on each side of the gap! We can also address total tooth loss with All-On-Four, and in only one visit.
Help for Total Tooth Loss
If you have lost most or all of your teeth, we can help with All-On-Four. This uses just four implant posts per arch, each one smaller than traditional implants so that it requires less jawbone to be secured in place. Once placed, in the same visit we can attach a complete row of new teeth, so you leave our office with a full and beautiful smile, one that never slips or requires removal; for cleaning. This can last for decades to come too, sometimes even a lifetime.
