We have discussed how All-On-Four provides a new smile with just four dental implants per arch. But what if we could provide full arch preservation with just three dental implants per arch? In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons talk about the TreFoil™ system and how this offers a full smile again!
The Impact of Complete Tooth Loss
What happens when we lose most or even all of our natural teeth? When we suffer from advanced tooth loss, this could mean our body stops sending doses of essential nutrients to the jaw around the missing roots. This weakens the jaw to cause further tooth loss and an older appearance. Missing teeth could impact how we eat and even how clearly we speak, and could lead to embarrassment in social situations. But we can offer a full smile for our patients, often with as few as three dental implants per arch!
The TreFoil™ System
With the TreFoil™ system, our team will gently extract the last few teeth and then take detailed digital x-rays and CBCT images of your smile, so we can choose the best angles, positions, and depths to insert your new dental implants. These posts will act as new roots and keep your jaw strong, so your new teeth can last for years to come. We will insert three dental implants into specific points in the jaw, and then connect these with a titanium bar. This provides a base for your new smile!
Completing Your New Smile
Once your posts are in place, we could attach a temporary denture so you leave with a full smile, and we can switch it for your final version at a later date. For others, we may have your final prosthetic ready to connect to your new roots. We want to help you leave our office with a full smile, one that looks natural and can stay in place for years to come, possibly decades, so you can enjoy your favorite foods and feel confident in social situations.
