Life-changing treatment - a new smile in a day.

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, there are several options to consider, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. It is important to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each treatment with your periodontist.

While dental implants are often seen as the best choice for missing teeth due to their natural appearance, durability, and longevity, they can be costly, especially for patients needing multiple implants. On the other hand, dentures are a more affordable option but are often considered less convenient and comfortable due to the need for regular maintenance and cleaning, as well as the potential for irritation.

A newer technique for tooth replacement, known as “All-on-4 implants,” “All On 6 Implants,” and “Teeth Tomorrow,” combines the functionality of implants with the affordability of dentures. These branded denture supported implants use fewer implants than traditional methods, making the treatment more cost-effective and reducing recovery time.

Implants made of titanium or zirconia are surgically placed in the jaw to act as artificial tooth roots. With implant-supported dentures, just a few implants can support up to 16 teeth. These restorations offer the same aesthetics and durability as traditional implants but at a lower cost.

All-on-4 implants strategically place four implants to support an entire arch. Two implants are placed in the front of the mouth and two in the back. The front implants are placed straight into the jaw, while the back implants are inserted at a 45-degree angle to avoid the need for a bone graft. This angled placement simplifies the procedure and reduces costs by eliminating the need for a bone graft in the back of the jaw.

The process may vary depending on the specific brand of full arch implant-supported dentures you select. However, we will outline the step-by-step procedure for All-on-4s to provide an overview.

Implant-supported dentures offer the convenience of walking into your dental office needing a single or double arch and walking out with a fully reconstructed smile the same day. However, it’s important to note that while the implants and temporaries can be placed quickly, the full treatment process includes osseointegration, which can take several months. Make sure your dental office has 3D imaging technology and the necessary tools for same-day treatment.

There are various factors that can impact the cost of same-day dentures, such as the dentist’s location and any additional treatments required like tooth extraction and bone shaping. While the initial cost may seem high, it is actually more cost-effective than replacing each tooth individually. Additionally, same-day dentures offer greater durability and longevity compared to traditional removable dentures.

If you need full mouth reconstruction or a complete arch replacement, All-on-4 implant-supported dentures may be the best option for you. Make an appointment for a consultation with a dentist who has experience in performing implant-supported procedures. If you currently use removable dentures, you may have experienced some bone loss that will need to be addressed first. Your dentist will assess the condition of your jaw bone to determine if implant-supported dentures are suitable for you.
