If you’re a denture wearer, and have been for a while, you know the discomfort of slipping and sore gums. As time goes by, the ridges of your gums wear down. Though your dentures may have once fit snuggly, smooth gums can cause them to slide or wobble. If you’d like a solid solution for denture stabilization, consider the All on 4 procedure by NobelBiocare.
The All on 4 procedure involves Dr. Zimmerman placing four implant posts in the jaw, which act as roots for your loose or slipping dentures. Implant snaps are attached to your custom denture, which attach to the implanted posts creating increased stabilization. Because the dental implants function like natural roots providing a solid foundation, your dentures will feel more like natural teeth.
After diagnosing your unique situation with digital scans and 3D images, Dr. Zimmermann uses that information, along with advanced software, to determine precision placement for the All on 4 implant posts. All of this data is sent to a special lab where a custom surgical template, or guide, is fabricated. This template allows for a more minimally invasive and accurate surgical procedure. Replacement teeth can be created before the surgery, then immediately placed afterwards – so after careful preparations, the entire procedure can be completed in a single day. You’ll leave the office with your new smile.
With All on 4 dentures, you can experience a higher quality of life, eat your favorites foods again, and experience greater confidence in social situations, as the implants provide a more permanent solution to missing teeth.
