What Makes Montvale Prosthodontics Unique?

If you’re tired of your removable prosthesis or in discomfort from many broken or missing teeth, All-On-X could be the ideal solution for you. All-On-X, also called “Teeth in a Day,” offers you the reassurance to eat, talk, and smile without having to worry about gaps or slipping dentures. New technology allows us to now have three sets of teeth during our lifetimes: baby teeth, adult teeth, and now, implant teeth.

All-On-X are made to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can last you a lifetime. The first step will be removing any remaining teeth that cannot be saved and then strategically placing implants (root replacements). You’ll leave the office with a temporary fixed set of teeth while you heal from implants, hence the term “Teeth in a Day.” Once you’re fully healed, we’ll deliver to you a stunning prosthesis that will allow you to return to a life of dental comfortability.

"A new patient with a mouth full of issues, quite a complicated case and not a spring chicken, but still have spunk and need to keep my teeth for every day life. My first impression of was the office which was spotless then meeting the doctor was the icing on the cake - her mannerisms were so professional and approachable at the same time. My case is complex, but she took extra time to explain everything to my husband and myself. Her office staff as well was friendly and professional. My journey is just starting, but I feel very comfortable to have her experience and knowledge on my side."

FAQ

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Good candidates for dental implants have enough bone density in the jaw and are free from serious medical conditions that could interfere with healing. A consultation with Dr. Kim will determine if implants are right for you.

How long does the dental implant process take?

The entire dental implant process can take multiple months, as it involves multiple stages, including the placement of the implant, healing time for osseointegration, and attaching the replacement teeth. You will always be with teeth during the process.

Are dental implants painful?

The dental implant procedure is generally well-tolerated. Local anesthesia is used during surgery, and most patients experience mild discomfort during recovery, which can be managed with medication. For full arch implants, sedation may be used by the oral surgeon to ensure you are absolutely comfortable.

What are the benefits of dental implants over dentures?

Dental implants provide greater stability and bite force compared to dentures. They also eliminate the need for denture adhesives and you won’t have to remove them at nighttime.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer. The titanium post integrates with the jawbone, creating a strong and lasting foundation for your new teeth.

How do I take care of dental implants?

Dental implants require regular brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups just like natural teeth. Every two years, the prosthesis will be removed to be cleaned and attachment screws replaced. Attachment screws are small screws that attach the prosthesis (teeth replacement) to the implant (root replacement).

You can think of attachment screws like tires on your car that need to be changed out from time to time. Good home care is very important to ensure the longevity of your implants and overall health.
