The first step to reclaiming your dental health and ideal smile will be a consultation to discuss your needs, your concerns, and your smile goals. Then, we’ll create a thorough record of your teeth and the anatomy of your jawbone which we’ll use to build your personalized plan using the All-on-X system. All-on-X is a protocol for full arch dental implants that gives us the versatility to customize the number and position of your implants to create an ideal result for you. With full arch dental implants, you don’t need an implant post for every tooth. Instead, we can put them all on four to six—or any appropriate number—implants, meaning a less invasive, more cost-efficient process. After a comprehensive evaluation of your anatomy and oral health, we’ll be ready to start rebuilding your smile. In some cases, we may need to perform a few treatments to get you ready for full mouth dental implants, such as extracting failing teeth or rebuilding an area of bone for a stronger foundation. We will discuss these needs in detail with you at your consultation. Then, we’ll be ready to place your full mouth dental implants! Dental implants are made up of three parts. The post is the part that we implant into the bone using our computer-guided surgical process. It’s a small titanium screw that mimics the root of your natural tooth. The crown is the visible top portion of the implant, made of Zirconia. This incredibly durable material gives us strong, lasting results with amazing aesthetics. The third part is the abutment, a custom-created piece that connects the post to the crown. Following your full arch dental implant surgery, we will give your bone a few months to fully integrate to the posts. During that time, you’ll wear a temporary resin denture so you can smile and live your life while your bone heals. Once your posts are fully healed, you’ll be ready for final restorations. Then get ready to celebrate your renewed oral health and gorgeous new smile!
