When you have lost most of your natural teeth, you need a set of dentures. But what if we could offer an option that could last a lifetime, and in only one visit? With All-On-Four, we can do this with just four dental implants! In today’s blog, your team at Cerritos Dental Surgery talks about All-On-Four for our Cerritos, CA, patients.
The Loss of Your Natural Teeth
What happens to cause someone to lose natural teeth? While teeth could be lost due to injury, cavities, or infection, prolonged and severe tooth loss could be due to disease. When we have gum disease and this is not managed properly with routine care from our team, this could allow a stage known as periodontitis to develop, which leads to loose and missing teeth. As you lose teeth, this impacts how you speak, eat, and how comfortable you feel in social situations. This could also weaken your jawbone and leaves you susceptible to an older appearance. But we can help, and often in only one visit, with our All-On-Four dental implant dentures.
Securing Your New Tooth Roots
Our team will examine your smile with digital imaging to choose the best angle to insert your new dental implants. We only need to secure four per arch to support a complete set of dentures, a full row of new and lifelike teeth. Even if your jawbone has weakened due to tooth loss, these implants are small enough to require less jawbone structure to stay in place. Once in place, these will strengthen the jawbone and ensure your new roots (and new smile) will stay in place for decades to come, possibly a lifetime! In the same visit, we will attach the prosthetic.
Attaching a Prosthetic
Once your dental implants are in place, in the same visit we will attach a full row of new teeth to them. These will be custom-made from ceramic to ensure they can handle daily bite forces with ease, and also be color matched for a more natural appearance. We attach them to the post and you will leave with a complete smile. These are fixed in place, so no need to take them out for cleaning, and this also means they never slip when you eat and speak. Instead, you have a full row of new and lifelike teeth that can last far longer than removable dentures, decades to come or even a lifetime with proper care and attention.
