Welcome to our FAQ page, where you’ll find quick answers to the most common questions about implant procedures, benefits, and aftercare. Get the information you need to make confident decisions about your dental health.
Dental implants work by replacing missing teeth with sturdy titanium posts that integrate into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth.
Modern techniques and anesthesia ensure a comfortable experience, and the long-term benefits of restored confidence and functionality make any temporary discomfort well worth it.
Ideal candidates for All-on-4 dental implants are individuals who are missing most or all of their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. This solution is particularly beneficial for those who have experienced significant bone loss, as the angled placement of the posterior implants can often bypass the need for bone grafts. Candidates should also be in good overall health, have healthy gums, and be free from conditions that could impair healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or severe autoimmune diseases. A thorough dental evaluation is essential to determine candidacy for the All-on-4 procedure.
All-on-4 dental implants are a revolutionary dental solution designed to replace an entire arch of teeth using only four implants. Unlike traditional implants, which typically require one implant per missing tooth, the All-on-4 method strategically places two implants at an angle in the back and two vertically in the front. This approach maximizes the use of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting and providing a stable foundation for the entire arch of prosthetic teeth. This not only reduces the overall treatment time but also minimizes recovery periods and costs compared to traditional implant procedures.
Dentures typically last anywhere from 5 to 10 years with proper care and maintenance. Regular check-ups with your dentist can help ensure they stay in good condition for as long as possible. Remember to clean them daily and handle them with care to extend their lifespan.
Dentures are typically crafted from a blend of durable materials like acrylic resin and porcelain. These materials are carefully selected for their strength, comfort, and ability to mimic the appearance of natural teeth. With modern advancements, dentures now offer a lifelike look and feel, restoring confidence and functionality to your smile.
A standard tooth extraction typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes from start to finish, but this can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and individual cases. Our experienced team ensures a swift and comfortable experience, prioritizing your oral health every step of the way!
Choose soft, easy-to-chew foods that are nutrient-rich to support your body's recovery process. Remember to avoid hot or spicy foods, and be sure to consult with your dentist for personalized recommendations.
