You know that deep-seated fear of tooth loss and toothlessness? Do you have to deal with this yourself every day? Or does a familiar person repeatedly describe the problem to you in a painful way? Then you should know one thing: panicking about permanent toothlessness is just as unnecessary as about poorly fitting dentures and painful, lengthy treatments. Unfortunately, those affected often do not know that dentistry today offers great options for permanent dentures.
One of the most innovative methods is to provide the edentulous jaw with a fixed denture in a single day. This concept is known under various names or trademarks, such as All-on-4™, ReVitalize™, Fast&Fixed™, TeethXpress™ or Smartfix™. So don’t let the many exotic-sounding names confuse you – they all stand for the same treatment principle: to help you get a solid bridge or prosthesis in the shortest possible time with as few implants as necessary and, if possible, without bone build-up, which can be loaded as quickly as possible can. It’s not just older people who benefit from this – the method is possible after the growth phase has been completed, regardless of age, and is also suitable for patients who suffer from diabetes, osteoporosis and other previous illnesses.
Fixed third parties in one day: how does it work?
Dental implants are the supporting foundation for this method – in the truest sense of the word. Implants have long been used in dentistry to replace individual teeth. This therapy has developed so rapidly in recent years that it is now possible to provide an entire jaw with fixed third teeth in a single, minimally invasive operation. A revolutionary solution for patients who are already missing several teeth or are at risk of losing them soon. Even completely edentulous patients can be treated with this method.
The main advantages of this method
Fixed teeth immediately after inserting the dental implants
Very short treatment duration: the most important steps are carried out in a single day
Avoiding bone augmentation or bone grafting
Immediate resilience of the dentures
Palate-free solution thanks to an individually manufactured bridge
Reduction in the number of necessary dental visits and thus also a reduction in costs
Simple principle: Fixed dentures on just 4 implants
The principle: Implants act as pillars for the final tooth replacement. In most cases, 4 dental implants per jaw are enough to securely anchor the dentures (bridge, prosthesis) on them (All-on-4™). This is achieved through optimal strategic positioning of the implants. Depending on the jaw situation and bone availability, up to 6 dental implants can be used. As few implants as possible are planned for each patient, but as many as necessary for long-term stability. The denture consists of 12 teeth and is supported solely by the implants – so the palate remains completely free. The result: a completely natural tooth feeling and no impairment of the sense of taste.
