Missing teeth can compromise your remaining teeth through slippage and wear. Fortunately, your dentist in Roseville, MN has a solution.

If you have missing teeth, specifically an entire arch of missing teeth, All-on-4 may be a great option for you. Unlike dentures that can move around without support, All-on-4 means an arch of restoring teeth is anchored to your jaw. With this technology, you can enjoy your favorite foods, not worry about relines or denture pastes, and never concern yourself with denture slippage.

 

What Is All-on-4?

All-on-4 means we rely on approximately four dental implant posts to anchor a denture or arch of restoration teeth to your jaw. A dental implant is a thin but strong post that takes the place of your lost tooth root. These implants are durable and can withstand the impact of your bite.

 

Teeth in One Day

Our dentist offers advanced technologies and treatments when it comes to restoring missing teeth. For example, you typically have to wait for replacement teeth following dental implant placement, but our dentist can place your implants and your supported denture in a single day.

This means you wake up in the morning with tooth loss and go to sleep with a brand-new smile—beautiful and fully functioning!

 

Learning Whether All-on-4 in Roseville is Right for You

Your dentist examines your mouth to make sure implant-supported restorations are right for you. In some cases, if you do not have sufficient jawbone or if your sinus is located near the implant area, pretreatments may be in order to make All-on-4 a reality for you. Your dentist will advise you and talk to you about all the options.

It’s also important that you share your smile goals with us. We want to learn what you’re looking for in a new smile!

Dr. Saad Bassas is a board-certified prosthodontist and a Diplomate of both the American Board of Prosthodontics and the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry — a dual distinction held by only a small number of dentists in the United States. He completed residency training in both oral surgery and prosthodontics, which qualifies him to surgically place and prosthetically restore dental implants himself rather than dividing that care between two providers. With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Bassas performs hundreds of implant and bone-grafting procedures each year at i-Implant Dentistry in Roseville and Sartell, Minnesota, and is specially licensed to provide IV sedation. He has practiced dentistry in Minnesota since 2003.
