What's New in Dental Implants
There are several exciting new developments in
dental implants. But there are pros and cons to this new technology, so
let's explain them for you.
New Dental Implants Technology: Teeth in an Hour
Normally, it is a long process to get dental
implants. After being placed surgically, they require a healing period of
several months before they can be "loaded" - have teeth placed on them.
Nobel Biocare, one of the leaders in dental implants
research, has developed "Teeth-in-an-Hour" technology. With sophisticated
computer design, in certain cases, a complete set of replacement teeth can
be placed at the same appointment the fixtures are surgically placed.
However, there are a couple of asterisks:
 | Not every patient is a candidate for
Teeth-in-an-Hour. You need a certain quantity and quality of bone in
order for this technique to work for you. |
| The cost is fairly high. The Teeth-in-an-Hour
technique is patented, and it requires the use of Nobel Biocare's software
and dental laboratory in Sweden. Their laboratory fees are high to start
with, and to that you have to add the cost of air shipments to and from
Sweden. Many people, when they find out the cost, decide they can wait for
their new dental implants. |
New Dental Implants Technology: The All-on-Four
Technique
The All-on-Four Dental Implants Technique was developed by
Dr. Paulo Malo, a Portuguese dentist. By angling the implants, he was able to achieve
remarkable stability in a complete denture with only four dental implants placed entirely
in the anterior portion of the jaw, where there is generally more bone density. By doing this,
he has been able to avoid bone grafting in many patients that would otherwise require it.
