After suffering significant tooth loss, you can be concerned that a full smile restoration might be a difficult, drawn-out process. In reality, we can help you restore your appearance and dental function with a full arch restoration that relies on just four dental implants! Our California oral surgery center can use all-on-4 implants to hold a denture in position. This permanent restoration can give you the confidence to smile and speak with confidence, while also making you more comfortable biting and chewing food. In addition to taking less work, the placing of just four implants to hold your restoration can require less support from your jawbone, making it easier to start planning your care.
Can I Qualify For Dental Implant Placement?
Many people are able to qualify for dental implant placement, though there may be some preliminary work needed to make you a good candidate. One common issue that can interfere with placement is a lack of support from your jawbone, which can deteriorate over time after tooth loss. This can make a jawbone graft necessary before we start to work on your arch restoration. The longer you wait to have work done, the more likely it is that your jawbone might need more support.
Planning Your Restoration With All-On-4 Implants
With just four dental implants, a full denture can remain in place for an extended period of time. Before your procedure, we will take the time to examine your jaw in order to select the right spaces for your posts. Once they are secured, they will be ready to hold your custom denture. While the number of posts are limited, this arrangement has helped people restore their ability to bite and chew with confidence, and it can make speaking, smiling and laughing more comfortable for you.
The Long-Term Benefits Of Dental Implant Support
If you try to simply live with an incomplete smile, you can grow frustrated by the lack of support you have when you bite and chew food. Many people wind up giving up many of their favorite foods because they are no longer able to eat them. Your appearance and oral health can be negatively affected over time by tooth loss because the absence of teeth roots can cause your jawbone to deteriorate steadily. When you arrange a smile restoration with dental implants, it can feel as though you have your smile back. These posts provide important stability, and they help you preserve the health of your jaw.
