What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the best long-term solution to missing teeth because they preserve your jawbone density. The custom-made crowns are carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, ensuring an aesthetic blend with your smile. Moreover, because dental implants are anchored in your jawbone, they provide similar biting and chewing capabilities as your natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without worry.
What is the All-On-4 / Teeth In A Day Procedure?
All-on-4 dental implants, also known as “teeth in a day” or “full arch dental implants,” are a revolutionary solution for individuals with multiple missing teeth or those facing complete tooth loss in one or both arches. This innovative technique involves securing a fixed prosthesis, typically a full set of teeth, to just four strategically placed dental implants the day of surgery. These implants serve as sturdy anchors, offering remarkable stability and functionality that is unparalleled by traditional dentures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who Is A Candidate For Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a versatile solution for individuals with missing teeth, but not everyone is an ideal candidate. Our skilled oral surgeons and doctors will assess your oral health, bone density, and overall medical history during your free consultation to determine your suitability for dental implants. Generally, candidates should have good oral hygiene, sufficient bone structure, and overall health. Even if you’ve been told you’re not a candidate in the past, advances in implant dentistry may now make this option available to you.
What Is The Process For The All On 4 / Teeth In A Day Procedure?
The All-On-4 dental implant treatment is a life-changing procedure with a carefully designed process to minimize discomfort and recovery time and maximize the lifetime of the treatment. It typically involves the following steps:
- Free Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our doctors. During this appointment, they will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for All-on-4 dental implants.
- Treatment Planning and Smile Design Appointment: A personalized treatment plan will be developed if you are a candidate. This plan includes the placement of four or more dental implants per arch strategically positioned to provide maximum support and stability. We will also work with a partnered restorative dentist to take important measurements and go over design preferences. This helps our oral surgeons and dentists create a surgical plan.
- Implant Placement: On the day of the procedure, your oral surgeon will carefully place the dental implants into your jawbone. These implants will serve as the foundation for your new set of teeth.
- Temporary Prosthesis: A temporary prosthesis is attached to the implants immediately after placement, allowing you to leave our office with a set of teeth on the same day. You will be able to eat soft-foods immediately after the surgery and during the healing period.
- Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants will fuse with your natural bone through osseointegration, ensuring a strong and secure fit. You will also be able to “test-drive” your teeth during this healing period which allows you to work with the restorative doctor and dental lab to make custom changes to the design of your soon-to-be final teeth.
- Final Prosthesis: Once the healing process is complete, a permanent, custom-crafted prosthesis will replace the temporary one, providing you with a beautiful, long-lasting smile.
Are Dental Implants Permanent?
One of the most significant advantages of dental implants is that they preserve your jawbone. When you’re missing your teeth, your jawbone starts to shrink. Unlike some other tooth replacement options like dentures, bridges, and flippers, dental implants are designed to preserve your jawbone and last a lifetime with proper care. They consist of three main components: the implant, the abutment, and the crown. The implant is a titanium post that fuses with your jawbone, creating a stable foundation for your replacement tooth. This integration with the bone ensures longevity, making dental implants a lasting investment in your oral health and jawbone.
What Is The Cost Of The All-On-4 / Teeth-In-A-Day Treatment?
The cost of dental implant surgery can vary depending on several factors, including the number of implants required, any necessary preliminary procedures (like bone grafting and extractions), and your choice of materials for the final teeth. We work with all insurances so we will do everything we can to help you maximize your benefits from insurance to make the procedure more affordable. During your free consultation at Sunrise Oral Surgery, we’ll provide you with a personalized treatment plan and a clear breakdown of the costs involved. We also offer multiple financing options that help patients break the cost down into more affordable monthly payments.
