Orthognathic (straight bite) surgery is a combined orthodontic and surgical treatment approach to the correction of dental and jaw abnormalities and a unique endeavor in facial surgery: a patient’s appearance and occlusal function can be improved significantly, impacting the patient’s sense of self and well-being.
Successful outcomes in modern orthognathic surgery rely on close collaboration between the surgeon and the orthodontist across all stages of treatment, from preoperative planning to finalization of occlusion. It is a predictable treatment option to complex dental/facial problems and ensures the best ideal results, both functionally and aesthetically.
To receive implants, you need to have healthy gums and ideally adequate bone to support the implant if not a bone-reconstruction procedure is the answer. You should also commit to keeping these structures healthy. Meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.
Implants are usually more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, and most insurance carriers typically cover less than 10 percent of the fees. That`s why we offer a great advantage cost-wise where the replacement of missing teeth by dental implants usually cost one-third or one-fourth comparing with similar costs abroad.
All on 4 will give you a great looking set of teeth in only one procedure.
There are a few different reasons All on 4 can be beneficial for patients. For one thing, All on 4 can completely restore an entire arch of teeth in one sitting. This cuts down on time spent in our office and decreases the number of surgical procedures needed to restore all of your teeth.
All on 4 also helps decrease the need for bone grafts. Tooth loss can lead to jaw bone loss, especially if missing teeth aren’t replaced shortly after they’re lost. And the more bone you lose, the more difficult it can be to place dental implants, which is why bone grafts are sometimes required before implants can be placed. But when only four implants are required, we can choose areas where the bone is more plentiful to place the implants—which means that you may not need a bone graft even if you’ve lost bone mass in some parts of your jaw.
Florida Spanish for “land of flowers” is the southernmost contiguous state in the United States. The state is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico, to the northwest by Alabama, to the north by Georgia, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the south by the Straits of Florida. Florida is the 22nd-most extensive (65,755 sq mi—170,304 km2), the 3rd-most populous (20,984,400 inhabitants), and the 8th-most densely populated (384.3/sq mi—121.0/km2) of the U.S. states. Jacksonville is the most populous municipality in the state and the largest city by area in the contiguous United States.
The Miami metropolitan area is Florida’s most populous urban area. Tallahassee is the state’s capital. About two-thirds of Florida occupies a peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Florida has the longest coastline in the contiguous United States, approximately 1,350 miles (2,170 km), not including the contribution of the many barrier islands. It is the only state that borders both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Much of the state is at or near sea level and is characterized by sedimentary soil. Florida has the lowest high point of any U.S. state.
The climate varies from subtropical in the north to tropical in the south. The American alligator, American crocodile, American flamingo, Florida panther, and manatee can be found in Everglades National Park in the southern part of the state. Along with Hawaii, Florida is one of only two states that has a tropical climate, and is the only continental U.S. state with a tropical climate. It is also the only continental U.S. state with a coral reef called the Florida Reef.
Insurance coverage in Florida for maxillofacial procedures is very unpredictable and variable; some companies pay fixed allowances for certain procedures and others pay a slight percentage of the charge and sometimes there is not coverage at all for dental implants or orthognathics-facial reconstructive surgery. That is why it is advantageous to contact us for a quote and see how your maxillofacial procedure can become a reality!
