All-On-Four Dental Implants Las Vegas
Las Vegas all-on-four implants have made it possible for patients who were previously unable to receive dental implants to restore their smiles. Traditional dental implants require significant jaw bone and tissue mass in order to support the implant posts. This usually means that patients who have lost all or most of their teeth require bone grafts to rebuild their jaw before dental implants could be placed. After the grafts, these patients typically have to wait several months to heal before they can replace their teeth.
Dr. Kevin Khorshid of ABC Dental Implant Center Las Vegas believes that everyone should have choices when it comes to tooth replacement. He and his staff are proud to offer patients all-on-four dental implants, a procedure that requires less bone mass in order to support implants. Now, more patients than ever before are candidates for permanent tooth replacement.
What Are All-On-Four Dental Implants?
All-on-four dental implants are different from traditional implants in a few ways. While traditional implants can be used to replace individual teeth, the typical all-on-four candidate is missing all or most teeth. Four metal implants are inserted into the jaw at a slight angle. This angled insertion means less bone volume is required to support the posts. Then, a dental bridge or partial denture is crafted to fit snugly onto the implants. Dr. Khorshid will work with each patient to determine whether a fixed partial denture or a removable partial is the best option. This choice is made on a case-by-case basis.
The entire procedure can be completed in one visit, which means patients come into the office with missing teeth, but they go home with a brand new smile.
Benefits Of All-On-Four Dental Implants
There are many benefits to all-on-four dental implants including:
- Less visits to the office – Because no bone grafts are required to support all-on-four dental implants, the entire procedure can be completed in one session.
- Improved patient comfort – Dealing with full removable dentures can be a hassle for many people, and can often cause sore gums. All-on-four dental implants anchor partials in place and provide greater comfort for the patient.
- Improved self-esteem – Even the most well-crafted dentures can make patients self conscious. With all-on-four dental implants, patients feel more like themselves.
- No repeat expenses – Denture wearers often complain about the amount of money they have to spend on adhesives and numbing gels for sore gums. With all-on-four dental implants, these supplemental products are not required.
- Improved bite strength – When a patient loses his teeth, the strength of his bite is greatly reduced. All-on-four dental implants improve the strength of the jaw and allow patients to eat foods they were unable to enjoy with missing teeth or dentures.
- Procedure is long term – All-on-four dental implants are not a temporary fix. When they are well taken care of, they can last a lifetime.
Choosing The Right Dentist
When you are missing all or several of your teeth, you may dread seeing a dentist. In fact, many dentists in Las Vegas will tell you that your only course of action once tooth loss has begun is to opt for full traditional dentures. While this option is the right choice for some patients, it’s not right for everybody. Dr. Kevin Khorshid and the team at ABC Dental Implant Center Las Vegas hope to educate patients on the options available to those with missing teeth.
