Have you ever had a Thanksgiving dinner where everyone’s going around the table saying what they’re thankful for, and no matter how hard you think, you draw up a blank? There’s nothing like some low-stakes social pressure to make you work up an appetite. Still, if you’d rather avoid racing thoughts and mild awkwardness, how about mentioning your dental implants? Here are a few reasons why you’ll be grateful to have them this holiday season!

As with any type of dental implant treatment, All-on-4 requires you to have implant posts carefully placed in your jaw to act as new tooth roots. As such, you will want to make sure that you’re completely prepared for the recovery process after the procedure. To help with that, your dentist is here to explain what you can typically expect during your recovery – and what you can do to keep everything on track.
