Do you have missing teeth, or total tooth loss? If so, you may be considering dentures. Our team can help support a full set of dentures without the need for grafting or sinus lifts beforehand. Our oral surgery and dental implant clinics in Berks County, PA, can offer New Teeth Today® to secure a full set of dentures in one visit.
The Dangers of Advanced Tooth Loss
When you lose the majority of your teeth, or if you’ve lost them all, a situation known as edentulism, this could mean serious trouble. You could be severely limited in your meal options and your nutritional intake could suffer. In addition, you could have trouble speaking clearly, impacting your quality of life. Without tooth roots to stimulate the jawbone, the bone tissue shrinks and causes an aged appearance. But with dental implants, we can support a set of fixed dentures to prevent your smile and your facial structure at the same time. In fact, we can often complete the entire placement process in only one visit!
Preparing Your Smile
First, we remove the last few teeth and then we will take a close look at your smile with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, so we can plan the placement of your dental implants. With New Teeth Today®, we can insert dental implants into each arch, where they bond with the jawbone and are accepted by the body as natural roots. The dental implants also require less structure to support a denture, so you can receive a new smile without the need for surgical procedures like jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand. We then numb the areas receiving implants and offer sedation to help you enter a calm and relaxed state as we begin the process of securing your new smile.
Securing Your New Smile
Once the dental implants are inserted into your arch, we will connect abutments to them so we can attach a denture. The prosthetic is custom-made for your smile so it fits comfortably and reflects your natural facial structure. We attach this in the same visit, no need to wait for months for the placement area to heal. You will leave with a full and functional smile, one that looks great too! If you have any questions about the New Teeth Today® system, then please contact our team today to learn more and schedule your first consultation. Everyone deserves a full smile, and we’re ready to help you!
