ORTHOGNATHICS, DENTAL IMPLANTS & ALL ON 4® IN GEORGIA
Orthognathic Surgery
Today’s orthognathic treatment for the dentofacial deformity consists of standard surgical procedures with pre-surgical orthodontics (traditional way) or no braces (surgery first) to correct jaw deformity, as well as adjunctive procedures to improve hard and soft tissue contours.
These adjunctive procedures may include an osseous versus alloplastic genioplasty, malar bone augmentation, and check lipectomy among others. To reposition the maxilla, mandible, or chin orthognathic surgery is the mainstay treatment for patients who are too old for growth modification via orthodontic appliances and for dentofacial conditions that are too severe for either surgical or orthodontic camouflage.The new techniques and tendencies makes orthognathic surgery a standard-secure area that is very easy to perform without affecting quality performance.
How do Dental Implants Work?
Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges mounted to implants won’t slip or shift in your mouth — an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit helps the dentures and bridges — as well as individual crowns placed over implants — feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.
For some people, ordinary bridges and dentures are simply not comfortable or even possible, due to sore spots, poor ridges or gagging. In addition, ordinary bridges must be attached to teeth on either side of the space left by the missing tooth. An advantage of implants is that no adjacent teeth need to be prepared or ground down to hold your new replacement tooth/teeth in place.
All 4 What?
While the name “All on 4” might sound strange if you’re not familiar with dental implants, once you understand what the name means, it makes a lot of sense. The “all” refers to all of the teeth in an arch—a full upper or lower set of teeth. The “4” refers to the number of dental implants required to hold that arch in place.
In other words, All on 4 dental implants, talks about a full upper or lower set of teeth that will be anchored by 4 dental implants. Instead of replacing each tooth separately, you’ll receive a full set at once that’s held in place by four strategically-placed implants.
GEORGIA
Georgia is a state in the Southeastern United States. It began as a British colony in 1733, the last of the original Thirteen Colonies. Named after King George II of Great Britain, the Province of Georgia covered the area from South Carolina down to Spanish Florida and New France along Louisiana (New France), also bordering to the west towards the Mississippi River. Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution, on January 2, 1788. Georgia is the 24th largest and the 8th most populous of the 50 United States. From 2007 to 2008, 14 of Georgia’s counties ranked among the nation’s 100 fastest-growing, second only to Texas. Georgia is known as the Peach State and the Empire State of the South. Atlanta, the state’s capital and most populous city, has been named a global city. Georgia is bordered to the south by Florida, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean and South Carolina, to the west by Alabama, and to the north by Tennessee and North Carolina.
The state’s northernmost part is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, part of the Appalachian Mountains system. The Piedmont extends through the central part of the state from the foothills of the Blue Ridge to the Fall Line, where the rivers cascade down in elevation to the coastal plain of the state’s southern part. Georgia’s highest point is Brasstown Bald at 4,784 feet (1,458 m) above sea level; the lowest is the Atlantic Ocean. Of the states entirely east of the Mississippi River, Georgia is the largest in land area.
Insurance coverage in Georgia 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!
