All on X Dental Implants
All-on-X dental implants are becoming the preferred way to replace teeth for toothless or partially edentulous patients. This full-mouth tooth replacement is a specialized dental implant procedure where with as few as four implants we are able to restore your smile. Many patients have opted for this life changing treatment and have been overwhelmingly happy with their choice.
Dental implants typically have three parts:
1) The crown (or prosthetic tooth): This is the part of the tooth that you can see. It’s usually made of zirconium or porcelain for durability and looks.
2) The abutment: A permanent, but removable by your doctor, connector that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth.
3) The implant: A screw that serves as a root for your new teeth. This is what permanently attaches to your jaw.
What Are Dental Implants
Dental implants are defined as artificial titanium tooth roots that create a permanent base for fixed, long-lasting replacements for natural teeth they’ve lost.
The most exciting thing about Dental implants is that anyone who is missing a tooth or suffering from a chronic dental problem or a tooth badly infected will greatly benefit from the process of dental implants.
When Dental implants are compared to bridges and dentures, dental implants have proved to be a lot more comfortable, durable and easy to clean at home. Cleaning your implants is as easy as brushing and flossing your natural teeth.
What Are Dental Implants (Continued)
Dental implants function, fit and even feel like a natural tooth, and have now become the new gold standard for replacing missing teeth.
What makes dental implants feel comfortable and completely secure? Our board-certified surgeon uses a medical-grade titanium implant fixture that, over time, actually fuses to the living bone cells of the jaw. This fusion forms a durable and robust anchor for your new teeth, meaning there’s no slippage or other movements (which can sometimes happen with dentures).
