Need the strength of a dental implant with the simplicity of a bridge?
If so you’re in luck: All-on-Four dental implants in Phoenix can replace an entire arch of teeth using just four dental posts. 24th Street Dental Biltmore can create a new look that will leave you grinning ear-to-ear with the some of the most seamless All-on-Four dental implants Phoenix has to offer!
What is TMJ Treatment
Put simply, All-on-Four is a quicker, more economical alternative to individual dental implants. Our mouths contain dozens of teeth, and in the dental world time is money: the length of time needed for each tooth to complete an implant can be long, and if bone density is an issue the wait time becomes even longer.
Not so with All-on-Four, whose titanium posts are designed to be installed at an angle, allowing for greater variety of placement within the jawbone, lessening the chance of rejection.
This provides an attractive solution to patients who are looking to get rid of dentures and people with failing teeth or who need to replace a full upper or lower set of teeth. Traditionally this would be handled with many separate dental implants and many months of treatments, leaving a patient without a fully functioning set of teeth for a length of time. But with all on four, you can get a new full set of teeth in one procedure.
What should I expect from the surgery?
While the procedure can depend on the course of the treatment plan worked out between the dentist and the patient, all on four dental implant procedures are safe and the dentist is highly trained in the procedure.
Your dentist will first apply an anesthetic to the area and a then small incision is made underneath the gum line in order to access your jawbone. Your cosmetic dentist in Phoenix will then carefully implant the titanium posts. After a few months of healing, the posts are then ready to have an archway of teeth securely attached to them giving you a beautiful and complete new set of teeth.
Does it always take a few months for All-on-Four implants to heal?
While you may have seen ads promising same-day All-on-Four dental implants in Phoenix, it is only half the truth.
Yes, it is true that once your posts have had sufficient time to heal, an entire archway of teeth can be attached in a single visit, but this does not negate the time needed for the posts to fuse into your jawbone. In other words, there is no shortcut when it comes to the healing of your bones and gums, but this wait is minimal given the many years your new smile will last.
How do I care for my new teeth?
You want to keep your mouth fresh and healthy, so in addition to routine brushing and flossing we recommend practicing oral hygiene specific to your dental work. Water and bridge flossers can help remove food particles that may trap underneath your archway, and it’s extremely important to stay on top of this:
- Inflammation of the gums can occur
- Bacterial decay can lead to bad breath
- Always keep routine dental checkups to prevent problems from starting
- Never hesitate to call us if you experience discomfort or pain
Your new set of teeth are set to last for decades and even for your entire lifetime with good oral care. By working with our expert dental team and maintaining good dental care routines you can keep your smile beautiful for many years to come.
