Flower Mound All-on-4 Dental Implants Procedure
In order to ascertain if All-on-4 Dental Implants will work for you, you need to schedule an initial consultation, during which we will examine the overall health of your teeth, review your full medical history, and take both scans and x-rays. This evaluation will allow us to determine what treatment options are best suited to your unique needs. Finally, the periodontist needs to examine your jawbone to make sure there is an adequate amount of bone density to hold the implant in place.
If we establish that All-on-4 Dental Implants are the optimal treatment option for you, your periodontist will develop an implant placement plan that will be designed specifically for your unique needs to maximize the support necessary for the denture tray.
The procedure will begin with the administration of a local anesthesia. After the soft tissue of the gum is numbed our periodontist might have to first remove any unhealthy or loose teeth. Next a small incision will be created in the soft tissue to gain access to the jawbone. Then a small hole is drilled in the jawbone into which the implant will be placed. This dental implant is a small titanium post. The surgical site will be closed-up with sutures. The following several months are critical as that post needs to grow or fuse to the jawbone. During this time, you will be fitted for a temporary set of dentures. Once we are comfortably with the post fusion, we add extensions or abutments to the posts to reach the surface. The permanent set of dentures have been fabricated in the dental lab have small clips on the inside. These clips snap right on to the extensions and your All-on-4 implants are finished and locked into place. The All-on-4 Dental Implants provide the strength and security of positioning and the posts serve as roots, which deliver the sensations of pressure through biting and chewing and even deliver temperature variations.
Aftercare for All-On-4 Dental Implants in Flower Mound
Following your All-on-4 procedure, the recovery time is minimal, although you will need to allow those crucial two to three months for the jawbone to bond to the implants. It will be advised to follow some special aftercare instructions. However, to really maximize the benefits and the life expectancy of your All-on-4 Dental Implants, it is important to continue to practice good oral hygiene habits at home day every single day. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day. It is just as important to also use proper brushing and flossing techniques. In addition to exercising this consistent, preventative, and proper oral selfcare, it is also strongly advised to schedule regular checkups every six months. By maintaining a regular preventative oral health care routine, you will significantly reduce the risk of developing other periodontal issues and will continue to enjoy your healthy smile.
All-On-4 Dental Implants Cost
One of the biggest benefits of having All-on-4 dental implants is that this solution is typically more cost effective than having many individual implants. There are a number of different factors that can contribute to the final cost of having All-on-4 implants. There is the severity or complexity of your individual case, the addition of any oral sedation that might be used during the procedure, teeth extraction or added bone grafting, the number of visits necessary and any associated procedures that will need to be performed, as well as your insurance plan.
