What Makes Implants a Better Option?

Are you in search of a reliable cosmetic dentistry solution to replace one or more missing teeth? If so, consider restoring your smile with dental implants for dramatic results with unparalleled comfort. When in place, your new restorations will look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. It’s true. You can smile with confidence once again!

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium, screw-shaped posts that we surgically anchor to your jaw. They act like natural tooth roots and provide a stable base for fixed or removable replacement teeth, dentures, or bridges, including All-on-4 implant dentures, which utilize just four dental implants to support a full arch of teeth. 

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Implants are the best alternatives to natural, healthy teeth. They are the only restorative dentistry solutions that mimic the function of missing tooth roots, stimulating and preserving the bone. Replacing your missing teeth using implants also helps prevent any remaining adjacent teeth shifting out of alignment, which prevents a host of dental problems down the road.

With implants, you’ll be able to indulge in all your favorite foods without restriction and will speak clearly and confidently. Your new restorations will maintain your facial structure, leaving you with a natural-looking, youthful smile. Dental implants are durable, with the potential of lasting a lifetime with proper care. 

All-on-4 Implant Dentures

Are you missing one or both full arches of teeth? Your trusted team at Santa Teresa Dental is proud to offer All-on-4 implant dentures. Combining dental implants with dentures, you’ll replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw at once. As the name implies, four implants placed into the jawbone in precise locations is all it takes to hold your dentures securely in place.

All-on-4 is a procedure we can complete in just one visit to our office. Once the surgical placement of the implants into your jawbone is complete, we will attach the fixed dentures to the implants to replace your missing teeth. You’ll love your new, beautiful smile!

The Benefits of All-On-4 Implant Dentures

Unlike traditional removable dentures, All-on-4s are permanent, providing a practical solution for replacing missing teeth. You can brush and clean your new restorations with ease and can chew and enjoy foods just like with your natural teeth. The implants placed to support your fixed dentures help prevent bone deterioration and restore your facial features and your smile. 

With All-on-4s, you don’t need to deal with uncomfortable dentures or messy adhesives. Your new restorations deliver the benefits of dental implants without having to use one for each replacement tooth. Best of all, the studies show close to 100 percent success rates for All-on-4 implant dentures. 

Caring for Your New Restorations

You will need to be willing to commit to meticulous oral hygiene practices for the long-term success of your dental implants. Make sure to brush and floss regularly, and keep up with your periodic dental exams and cleanings to allow us to monitor your oral health and your restorations.
