Our implants are permanent and are just as strong and functional as natural teeth.

3. LET YOUR DENTIST KNOW ABOUT YOUR FEAR. Unfortunately, dental anxiety is common, so be sure to voice your concerns, questions, or discomfort. Your dentist will have lots of experience helping people with the same fear and anxiety as you. Don’t bottle up your fear; let them know if you’re nervous. They want to give you the best care and make your exam an enjoyable experience. 4. BRING A FRIEND. Sometimes, having a loved one join you during your first appointment can do wonders. You will feel more relaxed and comfortable knowing you have a support system waiting for you in the lobby. At Bismarck Advanced Dental & Implants, we understand that visiting a new dentist, coming in for an annual exam, and following up on dental concerns can be stressful. We want to make you feel as comfortable as possible when you visit us. When you come to our office, we will cater to your needs, provide information, and answer your questions and concerns. We want nothing but the best for you and your oral health.

1. HOW ARE ALL-ON-4 IMPLANTS DIFFERENT FROM DENTURES?

Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanent solutions for replacing teeth. When you lose a tooth, your body will begin to absorb the minerals in your jaw and use them in other places. If you don’t replace the tooth root, the bone will start to deteriorate. Dentures rest on top of your gums and aren’t embedded in the jaw. However, All-on-4 implants help prevent further bone loss in the jaw and are more stable than dentures. 2. DOES THE PROCEDURE HURT? Our skilled and experienced dentists will ensure you feel numb and comfortable during your procedure. The sedative medications we give you before your surgery should make installing the implants virtually painless. You may experience discomfort, soreness, and swelling for a few days after your procedure. But most patients return to normal after a few days. 3. WILL I NEED A BONE GRAFT? Most patients are able to avoid a bone graft. However, everyone’s dental needs are different. We have state-of-the-art technology that allows us to give you the best care possible. Therefore, before surgery, we use our tools and resources to plan the exact placement of each implant at different angles to use your existing bones. This allows us to avoid bone grafting. 4. WILL I NEED TO CHANGE MY DIET POST-SURGERY? You may have difficulty eating hard, brittle, or chewy food for a few days. Because of the hidden metal framework in the implants, your new teeth will be solid and stable. So, you will be able to return to your regular diet within 6-10 weeks post-surgery. We’ve seen many great outcomes with our All-on-4 implants. So if you’re considering dental implants, call your friends at Bismarck Dental & Implants to help.
