Heart Health: Don't Neglect Dental Care

Heart disease runs in my family, and I have been determined my entire life to not become a statistic. I eat well, and I exercise every day. I also visit my general practitioner every year for a full health check-up. One day, when discussing my family history of heart disease, my doctor asked me how often I visited the dentist. This was not a question I expected. I told her that I hadn't been to one in a while. She told me that a large part of keeping my heart in good shape was keeping my teeth healthy, and that I should start going to the dentist every 6-months. I researched online and found out how right she was! Now, I never skip a dental check-up. I created this blog to help others with heart problems in their families realize how important dental care is for them.

Benefits Of All-On-4 Dental Implants

When you have bad teeth, it can be discouraging to think about the work it will take to fix all of your problem teeth. Now, it doesn't matter how bad of a dental problem you have, as you can get a brand-new set of teeth with only four implants! This new system, All-on-4 dental implants, has been creating a lot of buzz in the industry for its efficiency. If you're considering getting it done, here are the benefits. 

Only Four Implants!

Even if you need an entire full set of teeth, you can get that done with only four strategically placed implants. The dentists surgically installs the implant into your gums and then attaches crowns that look just like your real teeth. The implant is what acts as a root for the new teeth to keep them secure in your mouth. Before this method came about, each individual crown required its own implant. This is perfect for people who need most or all of their teeth replaced. 

Go Under During the Procedure

Dental procedures can be scary. They can also be quite painful if you're conscious. That's why you can go under anesthesia and wake up when all of the work is done. You won't have to see the tools, hear them, feel them in your mouth, or feel them dig into your gums. Simply fall asleep and wake up with new teeth!

Get Your New Teeth in One Day

A whole set of brand-new teeth probably sounds like something that will take a long time to do. Luckily, dentists can finish your entire set of teeth in just one day. You will wake up in the morning without teeth and then fall asleep with a full set! 

New Teeth Work Perfectly

Many people fear that their new teeth will have a lot of restrictions and that they won't work as well as real teeth. The good news is that the finished implants work just as well, if not better, than your original teeth. You will be able to eat corn, ribs, and everything else you were able to eat before. 

Customization

You don't necessarily need to replace every single one of your teeth to get All-on-4 dental implants. You have the option to get partial crowns if you have teeth that are intact. Schedule an appointment with your dentist to see if this is the best option for you.
