A single dental implant in Norwest is a way to replace a missing tooth. All-on-x is a way to replace multiple missing teeth using the same technology.
Single Dental Implants and All-on-X
If you have a missing tooth and choose to replace it with a dental implant, here are the steps:
- Initial Consultation: Your dentist assesses your candidacy and determines whether you’ll need pretreatments, such as bone grafting or extractions. We take care of pretreatments before implant placement.
- Implant Placement: On the day of surgery, your dentist gently places your new dental implant post. This post integrates into the bone over time and acts like a tooth root.
- Implant Restoration: After integration, your dentist caps the implant with a custom dental crown, which acts as your new tooth.
We use all-on-x if you have multiple missing teeth or complete tooth loss.
Using approximately four to six dental implants, your Norwest dentist secures an entire arch of restoration teeth to the gum.
About Full Arch Tooth Replacement
Without all-on-x, you would need a single dental implant post and crown for every lost tooth. Typically, all-on-x is less expensive than multiple implants across an arch.
Dental implant posts are fabricated from durable titanium, making them a long-term solution to tooth loss. In many cases, four to six dental implants alone can support an entire arch of replacement teeth.
However, all patients and situations differ so that experiences will vary. Ask your dentist what to expect.
Dental Implant Care and Upkeep
It’s important to note that even full mouth tooth replacement requires care and upkeep.
You should still visit your dentist regularly for oral checks. It’s also important to keep your gums clean to prevent gum disease. A dental team member will show you the correct way to clean your all-on-4.
