Restoring Smiles with “Teeth in a Day”

ROANOKE, Texas - Jan. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Do you suffer from advanced tooth loss? Don’t worry you’re not alone. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, by age 74 over 26% of American adults are missing all of their teeth. Tooth loss hinders a person’s ability to eat and speak and may even cause him/her to appear older. Fortunately, All-on-4 provides the opportunity for patients to receive teeth in a day (http://drsohl.com/all-on-four.php).

What is Teeth in a Day?

In recent years, dental implants have become the preferred choice for replacing missing teeth. Implants can even be used to provide a full set of dental prosthetics. In most cases, implant dentures involve placing between six and weight implant posts into each jaw to secure the prosthetics. Instead, All-on-4 only requires four implant posts. This means patients with degraded bone tissue that may not have qualified for traditional implant dentures can potentially receive a set of All-on-4 without needing a bone graft. In addition, patients can obtain their teeth in a day, wearing a quality temporary prosthetic while their permanent one is being fabricated.

What Does the All-on-4 Process Involve?

The first step towards an improved smile involves a consultation with your Stuart FL dentist, (http://drsohl.com) Dr. Michael Sohl. Dr. Sohl will thoroughly examine the patient’s teeth and jaws using advanced dental technology, including digital x-rays. He will then decide if All-on-4 is the best route to a restored smile. If so, photographs and impressions will be taken of your jaw. Later, an oral surgeon will place four implant posts into each of your jaws. Once placed, a temporary set of implant denture will be attached, allowing you to smile with confidence the same day. Soon, you will return to your Stuart FL dentist, where Dr. Sohl will place your final set of implant dentures.
