Dental implants in Ajax can be an excellent solution for complete tooth loss. This advanced technology provides a long-lasting solution and teeth that look natural and feel strong and stable.
Treatment can be ideal for anyone with full dentures. The options available to restore a complete arch of teeth are Teeth in a Day and traditional dental implants.
What Are Teeth in a Day Dental Implants?
Teeth in a Day implants are also called All-on-Four dental implants in Whitby. As the name suggests, you can have a complete arch of upper or lower teeth restored with dental implants on the same day as surgery.
These teeth are temporary, but you can leave Durham Dental Solutions with a smile that will look reasonably good and allow you to talk and eat confidently and comfortably during healing. They are replaced with your permanent teeth after healing is completed.
The technique uses four dental implants that are optimally placed for maximum support, strength and stability.
Advantages of treatment include:
- Affordability. As just four dental implants are needed to secure a complete arch of teeth, costs are typically lower than traditional dental implants.
- Faster treatment. When fewer implants are needed, the overall treatment time required to complete All-on-Four in Brooklin is reduced.
- Reduced need for bone grafting. All four implants are situated towards the front of the jaw. The jawbone is naturally thicker and stronger in this area, reducing or eliminating the need for bone grafting in Pickering.
What Are Traditional Dental Implants?
With traditional dental implant treatment in Oshawa, more implants are needed to restore a complete arch of teeth. These tend to be spread evenly along the jawbone, providing good support for a replacement arch of teeth.
Advantages of treatment include:
- Customizable treatment. Computer-guided surgery in Newcastle enables our dental implant dentists to situate each implant in the best location, which is beneficial for maintaining a natural bite and good aesthetics.
- Durability. Traditional dental implant treatments have been widely used for decades and provide predictable and reliable long-term results with the right planning and after-care.
However, traditional implant treatment to replace a complete arch of teeth can be considerably more expensive than All-on-Four. A greater number of dental implants increases the overall costs. Also, bone grafting is more likely to be required.
While bone grafting in Bowmanville is a very common procedure that can provide excellent results, not everyone is suitable for this surgical procedure or wishes to have it. Bone grafting is another procedure that will increase the overall cost of treatment.
Deciding Which Treatment Is Best for You
When you visit Durham Dental Solutions for implant treatment in Courtice, our experienced implant dentists can assess your oral health, discuss your aims and desires for treatment and determine which option will best suit your needs. Points we need to consider include:
Fixed or Removable Teeth
Some implant treatments allow for a fixed arch of teeth. Your new full arch bridge will be permanently attached to your dental implants and will only be removable by our dental implant dentists. Alternatively, you could have a removable prosthesis that looks and feels like a denture but clips securely onto dental implants.
Jawbone Density and Mass
The overall health of your jawbone is extremely important and is determined using a cone beam CT scan of your jaws. If you have a limited amount of jawbone available for implants, Teeth in a Day might be the most suitable treatment, especially if you don’t wish to have a bone graft.
Your Preference
You may already have a preference for a fixed or removable prosthesis. Some people are adamant they want to get rid of a removable denture and replace it with fixed teeth. However, it’s worth keeping an open mind, especially if an implant denture is a more affordable solution that could be easier to care for.
