Dentures, Implants, All On 4. What's The Difference?
Those in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, looking to replace the gaps left in their mouth from missing teeth may want to consider looking into getting dental implants. However, before going to the dentist and getting dental implants, it is vital to learn the difference between the implants, dentures, and All on 4. Making the best decision depends upon knowing the difference between all of your options. Those with questions about the different dental prosthetics should call to schedule an appointment with Dr. John Stockdale at Renaissance Dental Care.
Dentures
Dentures are removable, replacements for missing teeth. Complete dentures are used when most teeth are missing and generally ready for placement about eight to 12 weeks after removing the teeth. Partial dentures are still removable and only consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base and used when one or more of the mouth’s natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw.
Dental Implants
Dental implants differ from dentures as they are a more permanent solution to missing teeth. The dental implant is surgically secured into the jawbone and fuses to the bone over a few months. Then, a crown is secured over the implant to serve as the replacement tooth, which appears like a natural-looking tooth. Your Rancho Cucamonga, CA dentist, can help explain how the dental implant process works.
All On 4
All on 4 is a hybrid denture that is mounted on the jaw using four implants. This type of tooth replacement treatment can replace both the upper and lower arches. This treatment is also permanent and can only be removed by a dentist.
When looking to replace your teeth or fill in the gaps in your mouth, learning about the different dental prosthetics available can help you decide which option to get. Those considering dental implants in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, should speak with Dr. Stockdale at Renaissance Dental Care. Call (909) 987-0040 today to schedule your appointment.
