Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
All on Four process?
All on Four Process
Jan 7, 2016
Jan 7, 2016
The All on Four procedure will require time for the implants to integrate into the bone to be completely stable. This time usually take approximately 6 months from the placement of the implants to the delivery of the final prosthesis. During that time, you will have a temporary prosthesis placed, which will be replaced at the end of the procedure. On very rare cases, you will need to be placed into dentures until the implants have integrated before a prosthesis can be fixed…
Can I get the All-on-4 implants only on top?
Single Arch All on 4
Jan 7, 2016
Jan 7, 2016
In a very simplified-generalized answer, yes you can get a single arch all on 4. For a complete answer you would need to have a full complete exam and ensure that you are a candidate for an all on 4 procedure. A dentist would like to know if your opposing teeth are healthy enough to function against a hybrid prosthesis and if it is a possible treatment to place an all on 4 prosthesis.
Is this tiny screw the entire implant that came out of my mouth?

The part that fell out of your mouth is most likely a healing abutment. It is used to cover the implant to protect it. They fall out occasionally and just need to be tightened back on. It is not something to be overly concerned about but make sure you see the dentist soon to get it replaced.

Is it alright if one of my bottom tooth is touching my crown tooth?
Touching tooth

If the bite feels uncomfortable, best if you go back to your dentist and have the crown adjusted. If the bite is off and you wait too long, this can create more severe issues that will require additional treatment.
What to do about constant single front tooth crown?
Grey Tooth
Dec 31, 2015
Dec 31, 2015
Certain crown are more esthetic than others. You can ask your dentist about different crown options such as Zirconia or full procelin crowns to better match your existing teeth. Ask to go to the lab and have them color match your existing teeth as close as possible. The gum issue could be due to the crown being pushing against the gums. When making a new crown, this issue should be addressed and corrected. Best of luck.

Hydroxyapatie
Dec 17, 2015
Dec 17, 2015
Some titanium implants are coated with hydroxyapatite in hopes to have better bone integration or compatability with the implant. There has been no research suggesting there is a higher failure rate on implants with hydroxyapatite than non coated implants when placed properly. Implants have a higher than 90% success rate regardless of coating. In your case, with such a high failure rate, there can be other confounding factors. Do you smoke, how often do you get…
