When you have lost most of your teeth, you need a full dental prosthetic. With dentures, we can offer this, but we provide more than just removable options. With dental implant dentures, we can provide fixed options that last decades! In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons talk about how we ensure your dentures last with dental implants.
The Importance of Replacement Teeth
When you suffer from an advanced case of tooth loss, this could impact how you eat, limiting your meal options and overall nutritional intake. Missing teeth also cause issues with speech, and may cause you to feel embarrassed in social situations. You could also develop an older appearance, as the body stops sending key nutrients to the areas of the jaw around the missing roots. To preserve your youthful facial features, and enjoy your favorite dishes again, you need a set of dentures secured with dental implants.
Fixed Dentures
With the traditional option, we will insert between six and eight dental implant posts into the jaw at specific angles, positions, and depths to support the new prosthetics. Since the implant posts are made from titanium which is biocompatible. This bonds with the jaw and acts as roots. The jawbone no longer loses mass and density, which not only keeps your youthful features intact, but also allows your new teeth to stay in place for years to come, decades or possibly a lifetime!
All-On-Four
Our team also offers same-day options. With All-On-Four, we only insert four small posts into the jaw and attach a prosthetic to them in the same visit. We could also discuss TreFoil, in which we support a new smile with only three dental implant posts connected by a titanium bar. With these options, you can even enjoy a full smile if your jaw has weakened, no need for grafting or sinus lift beforehand in many cases. You can leave our office with a complete smile, and we will discuss tips for keeping your new smile strong and intact for years to come.
