Accepting that our teeth won’t last a lifetime is something that’s hard to accept. What can you do when you learn that you have to say goodbye to your teeth? Whether it’s the loss of a few teeth or your entire dentition, in both cases you have to accept the situation, and this loss of function can be very uncomfortable.

Where do we go from here? All options point to some type of denture. Depending on the extent of your tooth loss, the situation will seem more or less serious. Most people can live with a full upper denture. On the other hand, many find it difficult to endure a full lower denture. This is where implant treatment comes in.

Scared of dentures? No problem. You can opt for implant treatment for your upper dentition, lower dentition or both at the same time. There’s a very practical and popular treatment called “teeth in a day”. This helps people who have to cope with tooth loss to get their dental implants in a matter of hours, greatly reducing the difficulties that such loss can cause. Preparations are made beforehand, so the day the teeth are removed, the new teeth are permanently placed too. This helps enormously with pain management, which is dramatically reduced to almost non-existent. Many patients can testify to this.

The fear of losing teeth is real, but these revolutionary techniques go a long way towards easing the burden of tooth loss and making the situation less severe than imagined.
