In the past, replacing upper back teeth involved placing implants in the grafted maxillary sinus area. This used 8 to 10 implants plus a sinus lift and graft in the upper jaw. The novel All on 4 technique (when appropriate) places implants at an angle tilted to the back of the mouth. This avoids the sinus area entirely and may eliminate the need to use grafting or a sinus lift to replace missing back teeth. Not All patients can use this technique because (for example) sometimes the sinus can extend so far into the front of the jaw, or sometimes there is too much bone missing, to use an All on 4 approach.
Dentistry has evolved from reactively fixing or extracting teeth when they loosen or break, to a preventive science curing dental problems before they cause discomfort or disability. Losing your natural teeth without repairing or replacing them can cause major disabilities of eating, socializing and in some cases affecting your professional ability to work.
When preventing and repairing dental problems no longer has merit, then replacing and improving on what nature gave you is a godsend. I have treated patients who were unable to eat out at a restaurant or friends homes, who couldnt speak in public, and who did not even leave their own home for 10 years because of the disfiguring effects of losing teeth..
What has evolved from the fruits of technology and science is a long-lasting, comfortable, esthetic replacement of natural teeth. The patients who I have treated with this technique no longer have the sad half-closed eyes in their preliminary photographs. The new pictures show them smiling and happy, with their eyes fully opened. They are enjoying the benefits of improved self-esteem when they eat, talk and laugh with the world again. These are some of the benefits that the All on 4 technique or similar techniques have brought these patients.
For the nuts and bolts of All on 4 planning, when designing an implant-supported bridge, it is important to not only replace the teeth but also to make sure that there is an improvement in appearance as well as function. It is important to find out why the teeth will be or have been lost in the first place. The final bridge should correct the reasons for the lost teeth in the mouth as well as improving function and esthetics.
That requires some detective work and a preliminary evaluation to make sure that the final bridge will not fail. Bridge failures have been known to occur when a thorough investigation and a corrective plan is not made. I prefer photographs and model copies of the preexisting teeth so I can detect the problems that caused tooth loss in the first place. Was it a tooth crowding problem, was it lacking home care, was it parafunctional habits such as unconscious tooth grinding, day or night?
Dr. Korwin promotes excellence in preventing orally linked disease and provides highly cosmetic dental repair and reconstruction utilizing orthodontics, implants, surgery, prosthetics and sedation, with laser, digital and computer assisted diagnostics.
Dr. Korwin is part of the one percent of dentists worldwide who have achieved dual Mastership Awards from The International College of Oral Implantologists and the Academy of General Dentistry. Additionally, he is a board member of the American Society for the Advancement of Anesthesia in Dentistry, and has received special training to ensure that his patients receive pain-free care at his dental practice.
With these new procedures, we're able to help patients realize that they dont have to live with a toothless smile or cumbersome dentures for the rest of their lives, said Dr. Robert Korwin. But best of all, we can ease their worry about any pain involved with the implant procedure because there is virtually none.
Dr. Korwin began his dental career with a degree and residency at the worlds most prestigious dental institution, the University of Pennsylvania. After patenting new dental products, he has amassed over 2600 hours of postgraduate education.
Dr. Korwin completed his dental education at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry and has been treating patients in the Red Bank, New Jersey area since 1983. In addition to dental implants, Dr. Korwin and his staff provide a variety of other cosmetic dental services including crowns, bridges, veneers, denture, and more. He is known for using the most advanced dental technology, including air-abrasion decay removal, laser gum treatment, intra-oral cameras, and more. He is heavily involved in the advancement of dental technology and holds three dental patents. His work has been published in the Journal of Dental Research, the Journal of Continuing Dental Education, and the Penn Dental Journal.
Dentists were asked to choose which of their peers they consider the very best, across seven different practice areas endodontics, general dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics and prosthodontics.
All the final honorees were fact-checked with the State of New Jersey and the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs License Verification System. The highest vote getters within each specialty who are in good standing with the state are included in the 2022 'Monmouth County 's Top Dentists list.
