What happens when we have missing teeth?

You may ask:
Why is it important to replace teeth with a Hybrid Prosthesis/ Bridge?

Our dentist in Lincoln, NE says that our teeth are an essential part of your well-being. Having the option to replace your teeth permanently is a life-changing experience, much like getting a new knee or hip. A hybrid prosthesis allows you to function just like you did with a full set of natural teeth.

In addition to being able to chew food, the removal of infected teeth makes you healthier instantly. When teeth become infected, our overall health suffers due to inflammation. Ultimately, it can lead to diabetes, heart problems, immune system problems, and many other health concerns. An excellent way to become healthier is to remove infected teeth. And, once removed, infected should be replaced.

Removing teeth and becoming healthier!

The presence of infected teeth can affect overall health by increasing inflammation. In addition, overall health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, a higher risk for stroke, Rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s and others can set in. Removing infected teeth can instantly lead to an improvement in health. An excellent solution for replacing all teeth at once is to have a permanent non-removable implant-retained MY SMILE TODAY PROSTHESIS.

A Hybrid Prosthesis is retained by implants throughout the jaw, and allows a person to have beautiful aesthetics, speak clearly, and it will restore their normal eating habits. It’s like the greatest set of affordable dentures, but better. This is a smile that will last a lifetime. Learn more from our dentist in Lincoln, NE about an implant bridge.

What is an All-On 4-6 Implant Bridge?

An all-on 4-6 hybrid bridge is created by the removal of all of the teeth in an arch and strategic placement of 4-6 dental implants by an oral surgeon to support a titanium-acrylic hybrid or a zirconia bridge which is attached to the implants. The appeal this prosthetic has for patients is that unlike the traditional “affordable dentures,” these devices do not come in and out of the mouth. Patients have a secure, functional set of teeth.

There are three types of fixed prosthesis options available. Depending on your unique case, your cosmetic dentist near me in Lincoln, NE and an oral surgeon will team up to give you the most functional, beautiful results possible.

A hybrid prosthesis is an acrylic prosthetic which is attached to a titanium metal framework and secured to the underlying dental implants. The metal portion of this prosthetic can be modified and covered with acrylic upon patient request.

The temporary bridge which is all acrylic and attaches to 4 dental implants. This type of prosthetic is used for a period of 4-10 months during the healing process.

Who is a candidate for All-On-4-6 Implant Bridge?

For patients who are looking for a permanent option for total tooth replacement, an all-on 4-6 implant bridge is the top option available today. This hybrid bridge allows patients to regain their chewing function as well as give the most natural-looking aesthetic result possible.

An all-on 4-6 same-day permanent bridge is an option for patients who have a history of poor dental health with broken teeth, missing teeth and high rates of dental decay but who do not want to replace their teeth with traditional removable dentures or they have difficulty finding affordable dentures.

Some patients have heard of Clear Choice for this service. The clear choice is a network of dentists throughout the U.S. that are highly skilled in the placement of same-day smiles. This service is also offered by many oral surgeons and dentist teams. In our case, we deliver this service by partnering with the skilled surgical skills of our colleagues at Nebraska Oral and Facial Surgery.

During your consultation with our dentist in Lincoln, NE, there is a possibility that we will take x-rays of your existing teeth or jaw. X-rays will help determine the extent of any current dental infections. We will also analyze the amount of bone present in the jaw.

In some cases, additional surgical procedures or healing time may be recommended. Additional time or procedure would be a result of any dental infections that could compromise your results. At this appointment, we will discuss all of your options for total tooth replacement. Here we will help you decide what would be an excellent fit for your needs.

If you choose to move forward with the process, we will take impressions of your mouth for your temporary prosthetic. This temporary device will be worn during the healing phase after implant surgery.

At our Denture Studio, we team up with NOFS (Nebraska Oral and Facial Surgery) to deliver highest quality results possible. Do keep in mind, you will have a separate pre-operative consultation with NOFS. Typically, a CBCT scan is taken of your jaw to help your surgeon determine the placement of your all-on 4-6 implant bridge implants.

The day of your treatment, the skilled surgeons at NOFS will carefully remove broken and decayed teeth. Most importantly, they will maintain the integrity of the remaining jawbone for an excellent outcome. By preserving the bone, it will help implant placement and integration. Implants will be strategically placed to help distribute chewing forces equally once your prosthetic is attached. Your surgical team at NOFS offers various sedation options to help you relax if you choose during the treatment.

For your smile in one-day treatment, your oral surgeon will deliver your temporary prosthesis to be worn during the healing phase for approximately 4-10 months to give you your smile in one day. The type of temporary prosthesis you are given may depend on various factors and will be discussed with you prior to your surgery.

Your surgeon and your restorative dentist in Lincoln, NE, will see you at various intervals throughout your healing phase to make sure everything is healing normally and that you are comfortable in your temporary prosthetic.

What is the average cost of full mouth dentures?

On average, a basic set of full dentures can cost between $600 to $1500. A premium set of dentures could cost upwards of $3500.

Although these numbers aren’t set in stone, and do vary from dental clinic to dental clinic, it’s a good place to start.

How much do dentures cost at Affordable Dentures?

While we can’t speak to the cost of dentures from another provider, do know that if you are looking for “cheap” dentures, you’ll want to be careful.

Cheap dentures can lend themselves to a host of problems including difficulty when chewing or speaking, which can lead to a lack of self-confidence, not to mention the ability break easily. Another important thing to remember is that ill-fitting dentures can rub on the tissues of the mouth and gums, creating sores.

So, because “cheap” fits your budget now, do remember that down the road “cheap” could end up costing you more.

What is the cheapest way to get dentures?

Without question, one of the cheapest ways to obtain dentures is to go to a dental college. Receiving dental services at a dental school can lower your out-of-pocket costs. Dental colleges are able to keep costs low for patients, yet still offer high-quality care and services.

Our team at Nebraska Family Dentistry believes everyone deserves to smile. If you are looking for great dental care, but aren’t sure where to find it, let us help. Learn more from our dentist in Lincoln, NE about affordable dental care in Lincoln, NE.
