How All-On-4 Dental Implants In San Antonio, TX Will Be Placed
The All-On-4 dental implant placement process involves several key steps. The following goes into detail about how All-On-4 dental implants are securely placed in the patient’s mouth.
Examination:
The first step in a patient’s journey towards a new smile with All-On-4 dental implants, is a detailed examination. During this step, the doctor will look at the patient’s dental records, existing conditions, whether or not they wear dentures, what their facial structure needs are, and any other factors that may come into play when the All-On-4 dental implants are being placed.
Consultation:
Following the initial examination, a consultation takes place, where the doctor discusses the All-On-4 dental implant placement plan in depth with the patient. This is a critical step where the doctor will explain the procedure, address any of the patient’s concerns, and map out a personalized treatment timeline.
CT scans (3D pictures) are then taken of the patient’s jawbone. The scans include the positions of the replacement teeth, while also giving the doctor critical information about where the patient’s bone sinuses and nerves are located when the four dental implants are precisely placed.
Computer Simulation Of The All-On-4 Dental Implants:
Utilizing cutting-edge technology, a computer simulation is created to map out the entire All-On-4 dental implant placement procedure. This advanced simulation allows the doctor to plan the exact placement of the four dental implants, ensuring they fit perfectly within the unique contours of the patient’s jawbone.
By simulating the surgery before the actual procedure, potential complications are minimized, and precise dental implant positioning is assured, which is fundamental for the functionality and aesthetics of the new teeth. This simulation serves as a vital tool for both the doctor and patient to visualize the anticipated outcome of the All-On-4 dental implant placement procedure.
Sedation Dentistry:
Sedation dentistry (oral sedation and nitrous oxide) is then custom administered to the patient so that they have a comfortable and anxiety-free All-On-4 dental implant surgical experience.
Surgically Placing All-On-4 Dental Implants
The doctor will strategically place the four dental implant posts, at the optimal angle and depth, in areas of the patient’s jawbone where they have enough density to support them.
Temporary Prosthesis:
While the patient’s mouth is healing and the four dental implant posts are permanently fusing with their jawbone in a process called osseointegration, they will typically get a beautiful and functional new smile in one day with a temporary prosthesis.
Final Prosthesis:
The final prosthesis’s color, shape, and size will be custom made to give the patient a full arch of beautiful new teeth that look natural in their smile. When the patient’s mouth has fully healed, the temporary prosthesis will be replaced with the final prosthesis. Once the final prosthesis is securely attached to the four dental implants, it will allow the patient to eat, speak, and smile properly for years to come.
