Many patients will get a single dental implant when they lose a tooth. An implant’s ability to prevent the jaw bone from deteriorating is a major factor when patients are deciding how they want to replace a tooth. But many patients come in to see our Huntington Beach dental implant expert after they have lost an entire arch of teeth. Many people will automatically assume that the only treatment available to them is dentures, but that is not the case. If you are interested in an alternative to dentures, all on 4 dental implants in Huntington Beach are right for you.
The main advantage this treatment has is that they are integrated directly into the jaw bone. Dentures are not permanently fixed inside your mouth, so they can slip around or fall out entirely. But all on 4 dental implants restore your smile completely.
Most of the time, a patient will only need four actual implants inserted into the bone, and each implant holds in an entire arch of replacement teeth. This makes the entire process much less invasive, and some patients may be able to get their implants and crowns placed in just one appointment.
