When you begin to lose the majority of your teeth, it can start to feel overwhelming. Advanced tooth loss creates many complications such as the inability to enjoy hard foods and lack of support for your facial structure. Without the support of your bite, your jawbone can even begin to erode. Fortunately, restoring your lost teeth with dental implants can return the stimulation of your bite to maintain your bones and return support to your lips and cheeks. Even better, All-On-Four can provide a fixed denture solution in as little as a single trip to our office.
At Sunny Smiles, we can help you regain the function of your bite after losing your teeth. While traditional dentures can provide a temporary fix, they must be replaced fairly often to accommodate the loss of jaw density. But with a permanent denture, you can enjoy a solution that supports the health of your bones. By learning the benefits of this treatment, you can decide which method best restores your smile after losing teeth!
The Consequences Of Losing Your Teeth
When you lose multiple teeth, the impact on your daily life becomes quite evident. Because we rely on our teeth to articulate speech, you can find your voice sounding rather different. You may have difficulty properly chewing certain foods or need to adopt a soft food diet altogether. This can harm your nutritional intake as you make choices based on consistency rather than content. Tooth loss can also affect your confidence as you may feel uneasy interacting with friends and family with your new appearance. With the loss of your tooth’s roots, you also lose the signal to your nervous system to provide the building blocks for maintaining your jaw. As time goes on, your jaw will become less dense, which can lead to more lost teeth and a rapidly aging appearance.
Placing Your All-On-Four Fixed Dentures
We can place your fixed denture treatment in a single visit to our practice. To begin, we take digital images of your jaw to plan the insertion of your implant posts. As we place your implants, an on-site 3D printer will create your custom dentures to complete your new set of teeth. Once the posts are set, abutments above your gumline will connect your All-On-Four implant dentures. To facilitate your recovery, we will provide explicit instructions on diet and rest while your mouth heals from this procedure. At follow-up dental visits, we will inspect the status of your new smile to see that it takes!
