Are you living with the challenges of multiple missing teeth, extensive tooth decay, or uncomfortable traditional dentures? If you're seeking a strong, permanent, and highly stable solution to restore an entire arch of teeth, the All-on-5 dental implant system may be the life-changing answer you've been searching for. This advanced approach offered at our Gatesville, TX dental office offers a durable and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures, providing you with a complete, fixed set of teeth that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
What are All-on-5 Dental Implants?
The All-on-5 dental implant system is an advanced full-arch rehabilitation technique that strategically utilizes five precisely placed dental implants to support an entire bridge of prosthetic teeth (a full arch). Similar in concept to the popular All-on-4 method, the All-on-5 approach provides an additional point of support, which can offer enhanced stability and chewing power, particularly in certain anatomical situations or for patients seeking maximum security.
Each of the five implants acts as an artificial tooth root, creating a strong and stable foundation for a custom-designed, non-removable dental bridge. The implants are strategically angled and positioned in areas of the jawbone with the highest density, often minimizing or eliminating the need for extensive bone grafting procedures that might otherwise be required.
How Does the All-on-5 Implant Process Work?
Restoring your smile with All-on-5 implants at Acre Wood Dental in Gatesville typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation and planning. Your treatment begins with a thorough examination of your oral health, including advanced 3D imaging of your jawbone. Our experienced dental team will assess your bone density, discuss your medical history, and meticulously plan the optimal placement for each of the five implants. We'll answer all your questions and ensure you fully understand the process.
- Implant placement. During a single surgical appointment, five small, biocompatible titanium implants are precisely placed into your jawbone. The implants are strategically angled to maximize engagement with the available bone, providing a stable foundation for your new teeth. We prioritize your comfort throughout the procedure, offering various sedation options.
- Temporary or immediate restoration. In many cases, a temporary, custom-crafted set of prosthetic teeth can be attached to your newly placed implants on the very same day. This means you can leave our office with a functional and aesthetic smile, often referred to as "Teeth-in-a-Day" or "Immediate Load." This temporary restoration allows you to begin chewing and smiling right away, while your implants heal.
- Osseointegration and healing. Over the next few months, the titanium implants will fuse securely with your jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration. This creates an incredibly strong and permanent bond.
- Final restoration and placement. Once osseointegration is complete and your jaw has fully healed, your permanent, custom-designed full-arch bridge will be meticulously fabricated. This final restoration is crafted from high-quality, durable materials, precisely matched to your desired shade and shape, providing superior aesthetics, comfort, and function for years to come.
