Stop Hesitating: Replace Teeth Right Away
Cherrywood Dental • Jul 02, 2014
Are there holes in your smile? Those gaps are having an effect on more than just your grin. When your teeth aren’t complete, you don’t feel completely like yourself. And that leads to lowered confidence, limited abilities, and a general damper on your mood.
We want to make the most of our lives. And if you’re ready to be as happy as possible, it’s time to replace those missing teeth.
If you’re worried about what process might entail, there are ways to see it through as quickly as possible. We know you have a busy life, and don’t want to take too much time out of it to replace teeth. This is why dental care is commonly put off too long in the first place: we just don’t have the time to spend on ourselves. But since you’re worth that extra effort, we try to minimize it as much as possible.
Enter same day dental implants. By choosing the Teeth Xpress system, you choose tooth replacement within just one appointment.
Why We Recommend Dental Implants
You have a number of restorative options facing you. So how do you decide which one is the best? And why are we so keen on dental implants, anyway?
To answer that, we’ll need to discuss the typical steps of restoring missing teeth. We need to recreate the missing crowns, but they also need a source of support. A single crown won’t do any good because it won’t have anything to which it can attach.
Simpler options include restorations like bridges and partials. These dental prosthetics attach to remaining teeth, drawing support from natural structures to remain in place. While this is fine for some patients, it does come with its disadvantages:
- Potential to weaken neighboring teeth – The last thing you want is to lose additional teeth. But bridges and partials can sap the strength of adjacent teeth. By drawing on the support of those structures, restorations can ultimately weaken them, and lead to potential problems.
- Less support than is natural – This point deals specifically with partials and dentures: they just can’t provide the same level of support as natural tooth roots. This can make your dental work feel loose or flimsy.
- Potentially noticeable appearance – Loose partials or dentures don’t look quite like natural teeth, and they can stand out as prosthetics.
Sound like a nightmare? You can avoid these problems by pairing restorations with dental implants.
New Teeth in One Appointment: How Teeth Xpress Works
The standard dental implant procedure requires months of healing between appointments. During this time, the implants form stable connections with the jaw bone. After abutments are placed, there’s usually another healing period; then, you finally receive your restorations and see a renewed smile.
Immediate load implants allow patients to receive the full extent of their tooth replacement – implant plus abutment plus crown – in one appointment. Teeth Xpress employs these implants alongside deconstructed dentures, so that patients can transition from removable teeth to fixed teeth in a single day.
Immediate load implants keep the restoration’s surface from playing a significant role in the bite, so that the implant isn’t disturbed during its healing process. This leads to a stable implant without the sacrifice of months between surgery and complete teeth.
