Fort Worth All-on-4 Dental Implants Procedure
In order to determine if All-on-4 Dental Implants might be the answer for you, you will need to schedule an initial consultation or evaluation. At this appointment we will examine the overall health of your teeth, review your medical history, take several scans and x-rays, and then decide and suggest what treatment options are best suited to your unique needs. Next, our periodontist will need to examine your jawbone to make sure there is an adequate amount of bone density to stabilize an implant.
If All-on-4 Dental Implants are agreed upon to be the optimal treatment option for you, your periodontist will next develop a unique implant placement plan designed specifically for your needs to maximize the support necessary for the denture tray.
The procedure begins with the initial administration of a local anesthesia. Once the soft tissue of the gum has become numb the periodontist might first have to remove any loose or unhealthy teeth. Otherwise an incision will be created to gain access to the jawbone. Next a small hole will be drilled in the jawbone into which we place the implant. This implant is a small titanium post. The surgical site will be sutured closed. The next several months are quite crucial as the post need to fuse and grow to the jawbone. You will be fitted for a temporary set of dentures during this time. Once we have decided the posts are sufficiently fused and are solid abutments or extensions are added to reach the surface. The permanent denture tray that have been fabricated in the dental lab with high quality artificial teeth will have small clips on the inside. The clips snap directly on to the extensions and your All-on-4 implants are finished and secured in place. The All-on-4 Dental Implants provide the security and stability of positioning and those titanium posts serve as roots, delivering sensations of pressure through biting and chewing and even temperature variations.
Aftercare for All-On-4 Dental Implants in Fort Worth
Following your All-on-4 procedure, the recovery time reasonable, although you will need to allow two to three months for the jawbone to fuse and bond to the implants. It will be necessary to follow special aftercare instructions; however, for you to maximize the many benefits and the longevity of your All-on-4 Dental Implants, it is critical to practice good oral hygiene habits at home every day. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day and to floss at least once daily. It is also important to exercise proper brushing and flossing techniques. In addition to practicing this proper and consistent oral selfcare, it is also just as important to continue to schedule regular checkups every six months. By following a consistent and preventative oral health care routine, you will significantly reduce your risk for developing additional periodontal issues and can enjoy the undervalued asset of a healthy smile.
