Hi, sorry to hear that, we know how frustrating and embarrassing that could be. The good news is that you may be a candidate for All-on-4 also known as Teeth in a Day procedure in which you will get a full set of teeth held by implants. First you will need to be evaluated by a qualified dentist with an 3D x-ray also known as ICat. The dentist will determine if you have enough bone for the implants to be placed ( and if you don't; the great thing is that now with the new technology, you still could have the procedure done with Zygomatic or grafless implants). The 4 implants are strategically placed to be able to hold a complete set of teeth that will feel like your own. After you and the dentist decided what procedure is best for you, the next thing to take a few impressions, chose a shade color for the fabrication of the new teeth and send the information to the lab for them to fabricate the teeth that you will use as a temporary while the implants heal. The healing time could be anything from 3 to 6 months depending on your over all health. After the healing process is completed an new impression will be taken for the fabrication of a much permanent prosthesis. The greatest advantage of this treatment is that you will never be without teeth and that you will be regaining your smile, you could eat anything just like you did with your own teeth. You will rediscover a new you with a healthier and happier life.
