When you suffer from advanced tooth loss, and your jaw is too weakened to support traditional dental implant dentures, then you may benefit from TreFoil™. This supports a complete set of dentures with only three dental implant posts. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons talk about TreFoil™.
When You Need a Full Prosthetic
A full denture is necessary for people missing the vast majority of their teeth, or possibly all of them. Tooth loss could impact how you eat, depriving you of nutrients and your favorite meals. In addition, this could impact how clearly you speak and make you feel embarrassed, which harms your overall quality of life. The jawbone will also lose mass and density as the body no longer sends doses of calcium and phosphorus to the jaw anymore. As this occurs, you could develop a prematurely aged appearance, including sunken cheeks and a ptotic chin. Which is why you may need a full set of dental implant dentures!
Extraction
To begin, we will need to extract the last few teeth and then gather detailed digital x-rays and intraoral camera images of the smile. These CBCT images will allow our team to carefully plan the placement of dental implants to avoid sinus cavities or nerve tissues, and also stimulate the growth of bone tissue. In the past, a weakened jawbone could mean a patient not qualifying for these new teeth without first undergoing a grafting procedure or a sinus lift. But with TreFoil™, we can place implant dentures in weakened jaw bones!
The TreFoil™ System
We first insert three strategically placed dental implants. These posts will be made from biocompatible titanium and therefore bond with the jaw like natural roots. We then connect them with a load bearing titanium post. Your dentures, which will be custom-made for a lifelike appearance and durable chewing surface, will be attached in the same visit. You then leave with a complete smile! Your prosthetic will never slip, and don’t need to be removed for cleaning or soaking. They can also last for decades, possibly a lifetime! If you have any questions about addressing severe tooth loss with lifelike and long-lasting tooth replacement, then contact our team today. A complete and beautiful smile is still possible!
