Innovative implants – a new alternative to dentures
Until recently, the only alternative to dentures was traditional implant surgery which can take many months to complete and involves wearing dentures during the process. An important breakthrough in implant treatment now allows us to replace your failing teeth with new fixed teeth in just one day.
Fixed teeth in just one day
This innovative technique, sometimes called All-on-4, uses four specially placed dental implants to permanently fix teeth to the jaw. First a special radiograph of the teeth and jaws is taken to assess the bone. Models of the teeth are then taken to study the bite and appearance. The colour, shape and position of the teeth can all be altered to improve the appearance.
A bridge is made to replace the failing teeth, which is attached to the four implants. On the day of treatment a sedative will be used to help you relax. The loose teeth are gently removed and the dental implants are placed in position. Your gums are numb, you will not feel any pain. After a few hours you will be able to go home for a light lunch and a rest. In the meantime your new teeth are being customised in the laboratory. Later in the afternoon, when you return, we will fit your new teeth. This is a quick, easy visit. You can then go home. You will be able to eat on the new teeth immediately.
