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.
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.
Many different types of patients are good candidates for All on 4 implants. If you’ve lost all or most of your teeth, or need to have all of your teeth removed, you may be a good candidate for All on 4. Patients who have experienced bone loss can also be good candidates for All on 4.
All on 4 implants are the most cost-effective way to replace an entire upper or lower set of teeth, so they are often the best choice for patients who are on a budget. And since they require less surgery than replacing many individual teeth, they may be a good choice for patients who are anxious about dental procedures.
