Losing one or more of your natural teeth can make every day a little more difficult. You depend on your smile to make a positive connection with those around you, and you also want to enjoy the foods that you love well into your older years. If you are struggling with missing teeth, talk to your dentist about your options in prosthodontic repair. Dental implant technology has changed the game, allowing for a stronger connection between prosthetic and jaw, helping many Americans to chew and speak with confidence!
At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we offer same-day dental implants to help people to rediscover their love for their smiles. Our team also places All-On-4® dentures, which creates a sturdy full-mouth restoration with a foundation using a set number of titanium implant posts. If you are tired of living with missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures, talk to our team about whether dental implants are the right choice for your smile.

How Dental Implants Provide A Strong Connection To Your Jaw
If you have been paying attention, you have probably heard at least a little bit about dental implants. This technique is being used to create amazing new dental restorations in a little different way than other methods of prosthodontic repair. Instead of attaching to existing tooth material (like with dental bridges) or using a messy adhesive (as in dentures), implant technology connects a prosthetic to the bone tissue within the jaw.
This process centers around the use of a specific metal: titanium. This material interacts with the human body in a special way, and your immune system recognizes it not as an outside intruder, but it acts like the titanium implant post is actually a part of you. Bone tissue can grow into the threads of the post, creating a sturdy and lasting prosthodontic foundation.
Looking To Replace Your Dentures? Ask About All-On-4®
One of the most amazing things about dental implant technology is that restorations using this approach can be used to replace more than just a single tooth. In fact, implant posts are becoming an integral part of a new and exciting whole-mouth prosthodontic solution called All-On-4®. With All-On-4®, your provider places a set number of implant posts in the bone tissue of the jaw, mounting a beautiful new denture. This option brings the strength and reliability of dental implants to the world of dentures!
