Enjoying your new smile
Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. Compared to dentures, it’s much easier to eat, smile, and talk with dental implants. You won’t have to worry about “clicking noises” or feel anxious about what food is “safe” to eat. You can stop feeling embarrassed by your smile and start living the way you want to.
Does the Whole Treatment Process Take One Day to Complete?
That would be great but unfortunately, the answer is No. The most important part of the whole process which is surgery and placement of the temporary bridge does take one day.
Usually, several appointments are required for the fabrication of provisional teeth and pre-surgical preparation. You may also need to come back several times for the follow-up care and adjustments after the surgery. It also takes several appointments to fabricate a final bridge.
All in all, it may take around 9 months or more to complete the whole treatment.
Although dentures are a common choice for missing teeth because of their affordability, they aren’t without faults. If you’re tired of shifting and slipping dentures, irritated and pinched gums, not being able to eat the foods you want, but want to prevent bone loss in your jaw, you can opt for a better way to replace your missing teeth.
How Dentures and Bridges Impact your Dental and Mental Health
Dentures do more than harm your confidence in social settings. They may also speed up the rate at which you lose bone tissue in your jawbone.
When dental roots are missing, the jawbone is no longer stimulated enough to create new bone tissue. Within the first year, approximately 25% of the bone density is lost in the areas where there are no dental roots in the gumline. Dentures and crowns may mask the cosmetic issue, but they don’t address bone loss in the jaw, which ultimately leads to a weaker jaw bone.
