Missing teeth create two distinct problems: the visible gaps in your smile and the invisible deterioration of your jawbone. While conventional dentures address only the first issue, All-on-4 implants resolve both challenges simultaneously. By replacing your tooth roots with titanium implants, this innovative approach provides the essential stimulation your jawbone needs to maintain its volume and density, giving you the confidence to smile again.

Dr. Silegy can help you regardless of your current oral health situation—there’s always a path to your Forever Smile.

Understanding Bone Loss After Tooth Extraction

Your jawbone requires constant stimulation from natural tooth roots to maintain its density and volume. This stimulation occurs during normal activities like chewing and speaking, when forces transfer through teeth to the surrounding bone. When a tooth is lost, that vital stimulation disappears, triggering a process called resorption—the body’s natural recycling of bone no longer being “used.”

This resorption process begins almost immediately after tooth loss and continues progressively over time. But don’t worry—Dr. Silegy has solutions to stop this process and restore your confidence.

The consequences extend far beyond dental health. As bone diminishes, the distance between nose and chin decreases, creating a sunken appearance around the mouth. Facial muscles attach differently, leading to wrinkles, thinning lips, and a prematurely aged appearance. These changes affect not only aesthetics but also self-confidence and quality of life. Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing yourself age years in just months—Dr. Silegy can prevent this heartbreaking transformation.

How Traditional Dentures Affect Bone Health

While conventional dentures provide an immediate cosmetic solution for missing teeth, they unfortunately contribute to accelerated bone loss over time. Traditional dentures rest on the gum tissue rather than integrating with the jawbone, providing no stimulation to the underlying bone structure. This lack of stimulation allows the resorption process to continue uninterrupted, robbing you of your natural facial structure.

As bone gradually diminishes, dentures lose their precise fit, becoming loose and uncomfortable. This deterioration creates a frustrating cycle—bone loss causes denture problems, which typically leads to denture relines or replacements. However, these adjustments address only the symptoms rather than the underlying cause, allowing bone loss to continue. Dr. Silegy offers a permanent solution through our Smile Rescue program.

Even worse, poorly fitting dentures can accelerate bone loss by creating uneven pressure points on the jawbone during chewing. This process creates a downward spiral of diminishing bone, worsening fit, increased discomfort, and compromised function, significantly impacting your quality of life. Don’t let dentures steal your joy—Dr. Silegy has the answer.

The All-on-4 Solution for Bone Preservation

All-on-4 implants represent Dr. Silegy’s breakthrough approach to address both tooth replacement and bone preservation simultaneously. This innovative technique utilizes four strategically placed dental implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth while actively protecting your remaining bone structure through three key mechanisms:

  • Direct bone stimulation: The titanium implants function similarly to natural tooth roots, transferring chewing forces to the surrounding bone tissue, keeping your jawbone strong and healthy.
  • Strategic implant placement: Dr. Silegy positions the four implants to maximize contact with available bone, including areas where bone density naturally remains higher.
  • Immediate function: The All-on-4 technique typically allows Dr. Silegy to place temporary teeth immediately, providing instant bone stimulation and letting you leave with a beautiful smile the same day.

The angled placement of the posterior implants represents another significant advantage. By positioning these implants at up to 45-degree angles, Dr. Silegy can utilize existing bone more effectively, often eliminating the need for bone grafting procedures even in cases of significant bone loss. This approach provides excellent support while reducing treatment complexity, recovery time, and overall cost, making your Forever Smile more accessible than ever.
