DENTAL IMPLANTS IN CARROLLTON, TX
Frustrated with Your Loose Dentures?
As a Prosthodontist who began his training with dental implants 18 years ago, Dr. Tony Nguyen has the pleasure of seeing patients’ self-confidence restored in most cases in a single-day. Dr. Perez highlights a few reasons why dental implants area viable and predictable long-term treatment option, more beneficial and successful than conventional fixed-bridges, and why “All-On-4” implant technique are much more desirable than dentures.
Statistics show that 69% of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal or tooth decay. Furthermore, by age 74, 26% of adults have lost all of their permanent teeth. Patients who are current denture wearers, or in need of full upper and/or lower teeth replacement, can greatly benefit from the “All-On-4” implant technique. A technique that with only four implants can support fixed permanent teeth.
Dental implants are increasingly used, because rather than resting on the gum line like removable dentures, or using adjacent teeth as anchors like fixed bridges, dental implants are long-term replacements that are surgically placed in the jawbone. Composed of titanium metal that “fuses” with the jawbone through a process called “osseointegration,” dental implants never slip or make embarrassing noises that advertise the fact that a patient has “false teeth,” and never decay, like teeth anchoring fixed bridges. Because dental implants fuse with the jawbone, bone loss is generally not a problem. A single-tooth implant can be inserted the same day as the natural tooth extraction and the multiple-tooth implants, or “All-On-4” implant process can sometimes be completed in a single-day or can range from three to six months, depending upon if bone grafting is necessary.
Qualified patients can have a full-set of new replacement teeth in a single-day with the “All-On-4” Implant Technique! Here are the major patient advantages of this technique:
- This technique is a permanent, non-removable (fixed) replacement for teeth that can be maintained as natural teeth, following a proper hygiene protocol.
- Patients have a faster recovery time and better comfort after surgery.
- Patient can often avoid bone graft surgery resulting in less surgical expenses and procedures.
- These implants can last a lifetime, if cared for properly, and will prevent further bone loss.
- The patient’s full set of teeth will fit comfortably with every contour of their mouth, for a more youthful appearance.
- The patient’s ability to taste is not compromised, as no part of the roof of their mouth has to be covered (as with dentures, for example).
- The patient will have an efficient bite once more and can once again enjoy a variety of nourishing foods, greatly enhancing overall health.
