There are different devices that you can get to help replace teeth you may be missing.
You can get traditional dentures, or the implants, or you can now get the immediate load implants that allow you to walk out of the dental office after implantation surgery with teeth loaded onto the new titanium "roots" the dentist built for you.
Only your dentist can tell you which of the different devices, and procedures might work best for your situation, but the following information can help you to be prepared to ask the right questions at your consultation visit.
All-on-4 Dental Implants • Can be successfully implanted in people with thinner jawbones than the traditional dental implants can.
These implants require fewer patients to have bone grafting done before they get their teeth.
• These devices are narrower than the traditional style of dental implants • Are usually put in place in one section and have the teeth loaded onto them immediately, or at the time of implantation • These devices require fewer visits to the dental professional before completion • A complete set of replacement teeth can be loaded onto just four titanium rods • All-on-4 may is a deceptive name because some patients do require as many as 6 titanium rods to be implanted, but the vast majority require only the four • They are angled into position so longer implants can be used without interfering with the maxillary sinus or any of the lower nerves.
The longer implants have more stability than the shorter ones have.
• Costs significantly less than the traditional forms of implantation because the healing time is reduced, and the number of aftercare appointments is reduced • Less invasive than the other implants are • Help you to retain the shape of your face after tooth loss Regular Dental Implants • The titanium pieces are usually in two pieces so that after the patient's mouth has had sufficient time to heal, and the jaw bone has had time to fuse to the titanium rod, the second part of the rod can be inserted into the first one and the tooth, or teeth can be loaded.
• It can take as long as three months before the initial healing is done • Treatment may take as long as two years to complete • Many patients require extensive bone grafting therapy before they can get the procedure done • Does not affect the natural teeth that are in the mouth • Has a 95% success rate over a ten year period of the patient not having additional bone loss.
People who get traditional dentures often have increased bone loss over a period of time.
• Is more stable than traditional dentures, but not as stable as all-on-4 implants are • Look and feel like natural teeth • Can be made into removable bridges that you can take out at home and clean, or as fixed dental bridges that you cannot remove without the help of a dental technician • Help you to retain the shape of your face after tooth loss
