Dealing with missing teeth can be very difficult. Major tooth loss can make you self-conscious about your smile and overall appearance, making it hard to enjoy your meals. At Randolph Family Dental, we understand the complications that tooth loss can bring. That’s why we offer a permanent solution through all-on-4 implant treatment. Dr. Fortuna Vardeman is your go-to implant dentist for missing teeth in Schertz, Texas. A consultation with our dental team can determine if you’re a candidate for this procedure.
What to Expect from All-on-4 Implants
If you have lost most or all of your teeth due to trauma, decay, or periodontal disease, Dr. Vardeman can use all-on-4 implant dentures to restore your smile naturally. Implants, which are essentially tiny titanium screws used to replace lost tooth roots, will hold your dentures firmly in place. To firmly anchor each arch of your upper and lower teeth, we surgically implant four implants in your upper and lower jaw. Once in place, the process of osseointegration begins. This process is where the implants fuse with your jawbone to create a solid platform to support your new teeth. Osseointegration may take several months to complete. Once the implants heal, Dr. Vardeman and our team will attach connecting abutments and dentures to restore your smile to its original beauty.
Dentists design implant dentures to look, feel, and function like real teeth. You’ll have pleasing, natural-looking teeth for smiling, laughing, talking, and eating.
All-on-4 implants offer the following benefits:
- No dietary restrictions: Implant dentures will restore your full chewing power so you can eat the foods you love and enjoy your meals. You can expand your diet to include crispy, crunchy, and chewy foods to get more nutritional value from your meals.
- Greater confidence and self-esteem: Getting implants will eliminate the embarrassment of living with a toothless grin. In its place, you’ll have a strong, healthy, and pleasing smile. You’ll be able to enjoy the company of others without feeling self-conscious about your appearance. You’ll also have greater confidence to advance your career.
- Better jaw health: Implants can enhance the health of your jaw by stopping bone loss, which is common after losing most or all of your teeth. Maintaining the integrity of your jawbone can prevent facial drooping and jaw pain.
- Cleaner mouth: By covering any gaps in your smile, implant dentures help to minimize plaque growth. You can reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease by making brushing and flossing your teeth easier.
- A long-term solution to tooth loss issues: All-on-4 implants can last a lifetime with proper dental care. Dentures of high quality can endure up to 20 years. Although receiving dental implants may require more time than other restoration procedures, the long-term effects are worthwhile.
