Comprehensive Dental Solutions: Full Arch Dental Implants, All-on-4, Teeth-in-a-Day, Minimally-Invasive Surgery, and Porcelain Veneers

Full arch dental implants replace an entire arch of teeth and offer stability, longevity, and a natural appearance and feel. Schedule a consultation to see if you are a candidate for this life-changing treatment.

Candidates must have adequate bone density to support the implants. They must also be committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular maintenance appointments.

All-on-4(r) Implants

The All-on-4 dental implant treatment is ideal for people who are missing a full arch of teeth. This treatment replaces the upper and lower arch with a fixed bridge, eliminating the discomfort and diet limitations of traditional dentures. The dentist removes any remaining rotten or infected teeth before inserting the full arch dental implants Chicago IL. A local or general anesthetic is usually administered to reduce any discomfort.

Unlike other tooth replacement options, full arch dental implants Chicago IL do not depend on the condition of your natural teeth or gums. However, you must have adequate bone to support the implants, which act as artificial tooth roots. A dentist can perform a bone graft or extract healthy teeth to improve your bone density if necessary.

All-on-4 dental implants are a popular and versatile alternative to conventional tooth replacement solutions. They offer a permanent replacement for a full arch of teeth in less time than other treatments. The procedure also has a smaller footprint, making it more suitable for patients with limited jaw space.

The All-on-4 dental implant procedure is performed by a board-certified periodontist, who has extensive training in the field of replacing a full arch of teeth with dental implants. During the surgery, the doctor inserts four screws into your jawbone to provide support for the prosthetic crowns. The two implants placed in the front of the mouth are angled to avoid the sinuses, which eliminates the need for bone grafts and shortens the healing process.

Teeth-in-a-Day

Unlike conventional dental implants which can take months or even years to heal, the Teeth-in-a-Day procedure offers patients a full arch of replacement teeth in just one day. This is a relatively new technique that uses 4 or more implants across a full arch to hold a fixed bridge on which replacement teeth are mounted. This treatment is ideal for patients with extensive tooth decay, deteriorating dental work or fractured teeth who are in need of a complete restoration.

The procedure is also a great option for patients who may not be candidates for traditional dental implant treatments due to bone loss. The All-on-4, or Teeth in a Day procedure only requires four dental implants per arch and does not require bone grafting which makes it a quick and efficient solution for many patients. The full arch dental implants Chicago IL offer a permanent and stable alternative to dentures which can cause slippage, limit chewing ability and often need to be removed for cleaning.

With an implant-supported arch, biting and chewing power are restored to 85% of normal power which means that you will be able to enjoy your favorite foods with ease. The process is fast and convenient, with minimal pain and swelling after the procedure. If you are in need of a full mouth restoration, schedule a consultation to find out whether or not the Teeth-in-a-Day implant solution is right for you.

Minimally-Invasive Implant Surgery

Full mouth dental implants provide a permanent solution for replacing all upper and lower teeth. They preserve the bone quality and density, preventing the deterioration of facial structure that occurs with conventional dentures. The implant system consists of an artificial root (the titanium or zirconia post), an abutment, and a porcelain crown. We offer the Straumann Pro Arch dental implant system to patients in Chicago, River North and Midway that require a more stable solution than traditional dentures.

Traditionally, replacing an entire arch of teeth required several implants and bone grafting. However, the All-on-4 treatment concept enables us to use just four full arch dental implants Chicago IL to support an entire row of replacement teeth.

This innovative approach is designed to ensure minimal pain, swelling and healing time. In addition, it is safe for medically compromised patients and people with diabetes and other chronic conditions.

Mini implants can be placed without incisions or stitches under local anesthesia, and the surgical site heals faster than traditional implants. In fact, these tiny titanium anchors fuse to the bone and become part of it. As a result, the new replacement teeth feel, look and function like your natural teeth. To maintain your restorations, be sure to brush twice a day and floss at least once per day, and visit our office for regular cleanings and exams.

Porcelain Veneers

Dental veneers are a cosmetic dentistry option for improving the color, size, and shape of teeth. Unlike some other dental treatments, veneers are non-invasive and can be used to correct minor cosmetic problems in one visit. Dr. recommends veneers to address deep stains that don’t respond well to teeth whitening and to fix chips, cracks, and crooked or misshapen teeth.

The smile transformation process begins with an in-depth consultation, where Dr. takes the time to understand your unique personality and goals. He also uses an advanced diagnostic tool called a T-Scan to analyze bite force dynamics and bite timing to ensure the most comfortable and long-lasting results.

Porcelain veneers can resist staining, but they should be brushed and flossed as you would normally. Patients should avoid eating or drinking anything that could stain the veneers and schedule regular visits with a dentist to maintain proper oral hygiene.

Porcelain veneers are extremely durable, but they can break or chip if you clench or grind your teeth, or if you chew hard objects like pencils or fingernails. If you are a habitual grinder or clencher, Dr. may suggest wearing a mouthguard at night to prevent damaging the veneers. In addition, he will advise you to brush and floss your teeth regularly to protect the health of the gum tissue underneath.
