You can finally have the smile you’ve always wanted in just one visit to our Plano, TX, dental office. Dr. Mark Sowell of Aesthetic Dentistry Centre can replace an entire arch of teeth in just one day using this revolutionary new treatment. Using just four strategically placed tiny titanium implants, Dr. Sowell can secure your new dental restoration with implant-secured dentures, also known as fixed hybrid dentures in Plano, TX.
What Are Implant-Secured Dentures?
Commercially known as All-On-FourⓇ implants, implant-secured dentures are a relatively new treatment that restores the appearance and full functionality of a full arch of teeth without the problems normally encountered by denture users. Using modern 3D computer imaging and treatment planning, Dr. Sowell can design your prosthetic arch of teeth, which will then be permanently mounted in your mouth on only 4 implants, giving you a youthful, healthy smile.
In addition to restoring the natural appearance of your smile, All-On-Four dentures improve the health and integrity of the jawbone by promoting the growth of new, healthy bone tissue. Best of all, implant-secured dentures eliminate the need for messy denture adhesives and the worry of embarrassing denture slippages, allowing recipients to eat, drink, speak, and smile confidently for a lifetime.
How Do Implant-Secured Dentures Work?
Four tiny dental implants can be used to mount a full arch of permanent dentures. All-on-Four is great for patients who may have lost the integrity of their jawbone tissue due to long-term tooth loss. Dr. Sowell will carefully examine your jaw to determine the healthiest remaining sites for implant placement. This eliminates the need for expensive, time-consuming bone graft surgeries that might be necessary if you were to replace the teeth individually.
Dental implants are impervious to decay and can last a lifetime as long as patients maintain good gum health with daily oral hygiene. After the four implants are placed, temporary restorations are attached while the implant site is given time to heal properly. These temporary dentures will allow you to eat and talk normally while you await your final restorations.
