Missing multiple teeth can affect your oral health and facial appearance. It can be challenging to chew food and speak confidently, which can reduce your social interactions. If you are experiencing such a problem, you can benefit from all-on-four Pasadena dental implants, which provide you with a full set of teeth in one visit.
The procedure involves using four implants that can carry and support all the teeth in one dental bridge. It is convenient because it is a same-day procedure.
Who is an ideal candidate for all-on-four dental implants?
You are the right candidate for the procedure if you miss many teeth along the dental ridge. You must have sufficient jawbone and healthy gums to ensure a successful procedure. A sufficient jawbone ensures that you will not require bone grafting, which might require you to have standard dental implants requiring two dental visits.
What happens during the procedure?
During the treatment, your dentist will numb the treatment area and sedate you to provide comfort. Next, they will place the four implants in your jawbone and give you temporary dentures as they prepare permanent ones. You will go home after the treatment and recovery for a few months.
Once your customized dental crowns are ready, you will come in for a permanent fitting and take care of your new teeth as you would your natural teeth.
How to clean and take proper care of your new teeth
You must regularly brush and floss your new teeth to avoid bacteria growth and plaque buildup. After brushing your teeth, use an antibacterial mouthwash for a fresh breath and kill germs. Ensure to schedule regular visits to your dentist for regular checkups.
Use your teeth as intended, and avoid chewing hard things like ice or candy. Refrain from opening bottles with your teeth to ensure they last longer. With proper care, your new teeth can last for more than 20 years.
Benefits of all-on-four dental implants
The following are benefits you can experience after an all-on-four dental implant procedure.
Improved oral health
If you have missing teeth, your jaws are not actively working because you are not chewing. When you don’t use your gums and jawbone, they will waste away because of inactivity. Once you have the implants and the dentures, your jawbone will become stronger because you are exercising it by biting on your food using your new teeth.
Improved facial appearance
When you have large teeth gaps in your dental bridge, your facial muscles might sink towards the spaces leading to a sunken look. Your doctor might recommend replacing missing teeth immediately to avoid such an appearance. You can speak and smile confidently with the new teeth, boosting your self-esteem and confidence.
