All-on-4s
All-on-4s and All-on-5s are advanced dental solutions offered by Dr. Scott Lindsay of Peak Dental Care in Centennial, CO. These treatments can help patients achieve a complete smile in a short amount of time, as well as restore function and confidence to their everyday life.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants revolutionize tooth replacement for those suffering from tooth loss. Unlike traditional dentures, implants are permanent fixtures with natural-looking results. Surgeons place implants into the jawbone, anchoring replacement teeth or dental prostheses.
Made of titanium, the implant integrates with bone to create a secure foundation for replacement teeth. Once healed, it feels and functions like natural teeth, enabling clear speech and enjoyable meals.
Dental implants not only fill smile gaps but also stabilize dentures, reducing discomfort and improving chewing. They anchor dentures, preventing gum damage from slipping while enhancing comfort and chewing ability.
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
The benefits of dental implants extend beyond aesthetics: they help maintain facial structures and preserve jawbone health by preventing deterioration caused by missing teeth roots. Since the implant mimics the tooth root’s presence in the jawbone, it helps stimulate new bone growth and retains existing bone density longer than conventional tooth replacement options. This makes them one of the most reliable tooth replacement solutions available today.
Why Replace Your Missing Teeth?
Replacing missing teeth is essential for many reasons. Having missing teeth can cause trouble with eating, speaking, and smiling, which can, in turn, affect self-confidence.
And gaps in the mouth can cause other teeth to shift out of place – shifting teeth can make them harder to clean and increase the chance of tooth decay and gum disease. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is the only way to restore your smile’s look and function.
Overall, if you are looking for a convenient, reliable, and natural-looking way to replace your missing teeth, All-on-4s may be perfect for you! Their superior security and excellent aesthetics offer a great solution for people who want the most out of their smile restoration solution.
What are All-on-4s and All-on-5s?
All-on-4 refers to an upper or lower denture attached to four titanium implants in the jawbone. We strategically place the implants to provide maximum support for the new teeth. These implants help patients chew more food, speak clearly, and feel confident without teeth shifting.
All-on-5 is similar to All-on-4 but uses five posts for added stability and support. We use All-on-5 for patients with significant bone loss from gum disease or other conditions. The five posts are placed deep in the jawbone for stability, support, and a natural feel.
What are the Benefits of All-on-4s and 5s?
These treatments drastically improve your appearance and ability to eat, speak, smile, and laugh comfortably. Patients report increased confidence after treatment, no longer worrying about shifting or falling teeth.
Only four (or five) titanium posts implant into the jawbone for All-on-4/5 treatments. This procedure is faster than traditional implants, with less recovery time before placing final restorations.
Are There Any Drawbacks?
Although these treatments offer benefits, the cost may be an issue due to treatment complexity. Severe gum disease or advanced tooth decay may complicate implant placement, requiring a thorough checkup. Some patients report postoperative soreness or nerve damage, but a qualified surgeon can reduce risks.
