Dental Implant Dentists in Arizona Offer a Fixed Solution to Denture Woes, PART 2

This two-part article series explains the benefits of “All-On-4” dental implants as a far better and more sophisticated solution to missing teeth than removable dentures.

Welcome to the second installment of this article series on “All-On-4” dental implants and the benefits of this teeth replacement strategy over traditional removable dentures. In Part 1, we spoke to a dental implant dentist in Arizona who provided us with an explanation of what the “All-On-4” is and how it works. It was then explained that one of the key differences between this procedure and dentures is that it provides patients with new teeth that:

• Are fixed and non-removable,
• Feel comfortable and natural,
• Don’t push down on or rub against the gums, causing pain and irritation.

In this article, we shall continue to look at more of the “All-On-4”’s incredible benefits, including the fact that it allows patients to get new teeth in a day in Sun City!

The Benefits of “All-On-4” Implants Continued...

Bite Function

“Dental implants function like natural tooth roots. They’re also made from the exceptionally strong metal titanium and the combination of the two enables patients to eat most of their favorite foods,” explains the dental implant surgeon in Arizona. “I’ve had patients who have been wearing dentures for so long, they’ve virtually forgotten what things like steak, corn on the cob and popcorn taste like. With the “All-On-4” promoting a much stronger and more comfortable bite, patients are able to eat these things again. And with a wider diet comes a higher quality of life.”

Smile Aesthetics

The acrylic bridge supported by the dental implants is expertly custom fabricated to look like a set of beautiful, natural and healthy teeth. Once mounted onto the implants, your smile will be virtually indistinguishable from real teeth and gums, which is just one of the fantastic benefits behind the “All-On-4”, say dental implant dentists in Arizona.

New Teeth in a Day for Sun City Residents

Thanks to the incredible advancements that have been made in the field of fixed oral rehabilitation, treatment planning and diagnostics, edentulous (toothless) and near-edentulous patients who have been determined candidates for the “All-On-4” are literally able to get new teeth in a day in Sun City. This is provided that they don’t require bone grafting first, but in most cases, the “All-On-4” bypasses it.

“Every day, we have patients walking in to our office with a world full of troubles; usually revolving around the low self-esteem and poor quality of life caused by denture-wearing. On the same day, these patients walk out again with a brand new set of teeth, which we have been able to provide them in a single appointment,” say dental implant surgeons in Arizona. “The “All-On-4” is a feat of modern dentistry.”

No More Denture Challenges

And, of course, with the “All-On-4”, Sun City residents can forget about the following challenges and repeat expenses...

• Bulky, ill-fitting teeth
• Triggered gag reflex
• Difficulty tasting food
• Messy adhesives
• Taking teeth out after meals for cleaning
• Soaking dentures overnight
• Having bridgework redone every few years
• Premature aging associated with bone atrophy
• Sore, uncomfortable gums
• The need to buy anesthetic gel to soothe irritated gums
• Dentures that harbor food debris and bacteria
• Bad “denture breath”
• Difficulty eating harder, crunchier foods
• Malnutrition due to inability to manage healthy, fresh foods.
