All-on-Four Dental Implants | Teeth in One Day

Want to get rid of your denture in one day forever?
Dr. Haroonian, the premier dentist in Newport Beach and Orange County has the best solution for you.
If you have lost all of your teeth, or are losing your teeth, unsecured traditional dentures are a solution which in many cases has limited success. They are painful, inconvenient and instable, such dentures can make chewing food difficult, which could stop you from eating many of the foods you once enjoyed. They would also interfere with your speaking most of the times.

Rehabilitation of an edentulous individual (an individual without teeth) can be done in different methods.
1) Full mouth individual Dental Implants
One method is replacing missing teeth by replacing each tooth that is missing with one dental implant or using as many dental implants as we can accommodate in the bone left. This method usually needs bone grafting (like sinus lift on the upper jaw or block bone grafts…) to create enough bone to support the implants and the teeth on them. This method may take 3-4 months at least to developed bone and then implants are placed in the new bone and usually wait about 4-6 more months to start the prosthetic part (teeth or the final crowns and bridges).As you see it takes at least about 8 months to get the final prosthesis done. This method is good in localized tooth losses when there is one or more teeth left and the advantage of it is that we create more bone for the patient and it is a way to go for some patients that are edentulous (toothless). Contact us for a consultation at (949)646-2481.

2) Full Mouth Reconstruction: All-on-Four in Newport Beach
All on Four (4) dental implant is another method that requires less bone or in some cases no bone graft to replace missing teeth. It is also consider teeth in one day or same day implant. This method is suitable for individuals that are edentulous or have severe gum disease or other conditions that has caused them to lose their teeth in a single jaw or both jaws. With this technology, a special design of dental implants are used along with a special temporary bridge that could be either fixed (doesn’t come out by patient) or removable (patient can remove and place it back him/her self). All-on-Four (4) usually can be done in one day means patient walks in our office with their denture and walks out with a fixed (not removable) bridge the same day. The reason it is called All-on-4(four) is that for each jaw we need at least 4 special design dental implants to support the final bridge.
Three steps for Permanent Teeth in 1 day in Newport Beach
The treatment is done in three phases:
Phase 1: Diagnostic and Data Collection
In this phase you will meet Dr. Haroonian and we go over your goals and the options specifically for your case. A full set of Digital X-rays, study models are taken. A CT scan and fabrication of new teeth are going to be done.
Phase 2: Surgical and Temporizing
Four to six special dental implants are placed and in the same day the new prosthesis (new teeth that was made on the phase 1) is secured on top of the dental implants, so you will be able to chew, speak and smile naturally.
Phase 3: Final prosthetic
After healing of the implants (3-6 months after the second phase) a new set of teeth called implant bridge are made and installed on the dental implants.
I, (Omid Haroonian DDS, FICOI) personally usually use more than four dental implants to get better support and stability so if for any reason we are not able to use any of the implants we don’t need to do another surgery to place a new dental implant. Dr. Haroonian has over 20 years experience in placing and restoring dental implants in City of Newport Beach Orange County and Southern California. His expertise and knowledge in Dental Implants and full mouth dental implant reconstruction has made him the premier dentist in city of Newport Beach and Orange County.

Modern dentistry has solutions to suit a variety of needs and the All-on-4 is a wonderful solution for individuals who have suffered from not having teeth to chew well.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a great choice for missing teeth in Newport Beach
If you're missing a tooth or teeth and want the very best dentistry has to offer, you could be the perfect candidate for tooth implants. Dental implants resemble tooth roots for replacement teeth. They are securely anchored into the jaw and topped with a dental crown for the very best in look, feel and function. Dental implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options, such as dental bridges and partial dentures. Surrounding teeth and the jawbone are better preserved. Single-tooth implants are also easier to clean. The implant offers the patient the opportunity to regain normal function of the tooth without being forced to resort to a bridge or a denture.
Benefits of Dental Implants in Newport Beach
• Dental implant will osseointegrate (bond) with the existing bone.
• Dental implant will support your teeth firmly and safely.
• Your new implant teeth are aesthetically pleasing.
• You will no longer have pain during talking or eating.
• The dental implant will prevent progressive bone atrophy.
• Implants have a proven scientific basis.
• Dental implants are more durable than bridges or dentures.

 
Procedure 
The tooth structure has two main sections, the root and the crown. The root is the section of the tooth that is below the gumline. A dental implant acts as the restorative for this section of the tooth. The metal implant acts as an anchor in the jawbone. The first step of the procedure is surgical placement of the implant. Under regular dental anesthetic, the gum tissue is opened and Dr Haroonian places the implant into the jawbone. When this is achieved, the tissue is then sutured closed. There is not often significant discomfort with this procedure. This process can take from 1-3 hours depending on the number of implants being placed.
This implant will be left untreated for a period of 3-6 months. During this time, the bone will grow around the implant in a process called osseointegration. A removable crown may be utilized during this time period to allow for chewing and to preserve the cosmetic appearance. During this period of time You will be visiting Dr Haroonian to ensure the progress of the treatment and healing.
The next step in the process is to attach an abutment to the implant inside the bone. This is achieved by exposing the top of the implant and placing the abutment. This is the part of the implant that will support the final crown.
Finally, Dr Haroonian will take an impression of the implant and a permanent restoration crown is placed. This restoration will be comfortable and cosmetically pleasing. Your completed implant will be fully functional, allowing you to resume normal activities.

Dental Implant Bridge
Whenever there are multiple  missing teeth in one area of the mouth Implant bridge might be an option . If there are three teeth missing you may want to have two implants placed and bridge three crowns to fill the space of three teeth.

FastBraces & Clear Correct

Newport Beach Orthodontics | FastBraces & Clear Correct



FastBraces®

Everybody Should Be Able To Smile With Confidence!
• Would you like a straighter, more beautiful smile?
• Would you like that beautiful smile in a few short months instead of years?
• Would you like to experience less discomfort?
• Would you like to pay less for your orthodontic treatment?

What is Fastbraces®?
Fastbraces® were developed to straighten teeth differently. Fastbraces® is the revolutionary system of fast, safe, easy and affordable braces that is changing the field of orthodontics.  It is a complete, non-extraction system for most cases, which provides patients with outstanding results.

Fastbraces® Highlights
• FAST – treatment time that is measured in months instead of years!
• EASY – retainers for only 15-20 minutes a day
• SAFE –  Tested by leading Universities in the U.S., Europe, and South America
• QUALITY – The original, certified by the Inventor and made in the U.S.
• SIMPLE – Almost always Non-Extraction treatment
• CLEAN – possibly less decay around brackets due to short treatment duration
• CLEAR – aesthetic ceramic brackets available with a tooth colored wire 

How does it work?
Traditional braces move teeth into position in two stages, usually over a period of about two years. In the first year, the crown of the tooth is moved into alignment. In the second year, treatment addresses the position of the root of the tooth. However, the brackets used with Fastbraces® work on a different mechanical principle altogether. The patented system uses an innovative triangular bracket and a specially- shaped square wire to correct the position of the root of the tooth, from the beginning of treatment. This combination is key in realigning the root and crown simultaneously.
How long is Treatment Time?
Fastbraces® Technology gently allows for movement of the roots of the teeth towards their final position from the onset of treatment, achieving root parallelism at the beginning stages, thus completing treatment from 3 months to about a year. Some patients see results in just weeks!
Do I have to wear a Retainer?
With the complete alignment of the roots of the teeth, retention is needed every day for only 15-20 minutes (“Tooth Shampoo”.) Some people like wearing the retainers at night (“Teeth pajamas”). No more retainers for hours during the day for months after treatment. This is yet another reason why Fastbraces® Technology is changing the way orthodontics is done altogether.
Dr. Omid Haroonian  is proud to be the premiere dentist in Newport Beach and orange county  to offer the amazing Fastbraces® Technology. Discover how Dr. Haroonian and Fastbraces® can team up to help you truly LOVE your smile, maybe for the first time ever!
