The Better Than Dentures process is a cost effective, advanced technique whereby a whole arch of fixed teeth is supported by only 4 implants.
This revolutionary treatment concept can be used in either the upper or lower jaw to support an immediate fixed bridge that looks, feels and functions very similar to natural teeth in 3-5 days.
This is a modern technique where the back implants are tilted at an angle to provide the required support for total rehabilitation. Tilting the back implants helps overcome bone deficiencies often found in the back of the jaws and most often avoids grafting. The angled implants combined with the fixed rigid bar around the arch strengthen the implants.
Since less implants are used in comparison to other methods, it allows for simpler cleaning, while still delivering optimal results.
This procedure is a new treatment for full arch rehabilitation for people who have lost all of their teeth or are about to lose their teeth,it is suitable for almost all cases.
How do we achieve your great results
Preoperative procedures
Examination
The first step is an oral examination to discuss treatment options and to determine the best solution that suits your individual needs
Diagnostics
Radiographs and scans are taken to determine the final position of the the implants. Pretreatment photographs and cast models are also prepared.
Work-up
Diagnostic data is used to plan the optimal position of the final teeth for aesthetics, function and speech. A special guide is also prepared at this stage for placement of the implants and positioning the teeth.
Your new smile in 3 -5 days
Day 1
Implants
The jaw is prepared to receive implants and the implants are strategically placed according to the surgical guide. Impressions are taken of the implants. Clinical indexing is done with a guide that has the teeth in the chosen position.
Day 2
Try in
Teeth are set in wax and are tried in your mouth within 24-48 hours following surgery.
Adjustments of tooth position and color can be made at this stage, however, this is not always necessary.
New Teeth
Your permanent new fully fixed replacement teeth are inserted on day 3-5 in most cases.
No More Dentures
This process is a relatively new way of replacing dentures or failing teeth. The implants are much the same but some of them are angled. Because of this they can be placed even where there is very little bone. A fixed prosthesis (this is a bridge) for the upper or lower jaws, is supported on 4 implants, 2 straight implants and 2 angled implants per jaw.
It is a development of the engineering of the prosthesis that holds the implants rigidly together around the arch that allows early loading of the implants,
Thus the implants are braced together and support by one another.
The bridge in this situation is joined to the implants and cannot be removed by the patient, so you can have the implants placed and within the week you can have your teeth that are just like your own teeth.
The benefits are that the time to loading or delivery is shortened to 3-5 days rather than 4-6 Months.There is a cost benifit too.
The cost is reduced to half that of the traditional way of doing implants and bridge work.
