All On 4 Dental Implants

The All-on-4 Treatment Concept is a reliable restoration solution for patients, whether they are new to wearing dentures or they have been wearing a set of traditional dentures for several years. Even patients who have been classified as being more medically sensitive will be able to safely qualify for the procedure to get these stabilized dentures.

The All-on-4 uses four to six dental implants that are strategically placed in the mouth, to provide support for a full arch of dentures. They are a permanent fixture to your jawbone.

In the case of implant supported dentures, between four and six dental implants will support the dentures.

The All-On-4 Treatment Concept is optimal for patients who want a more durable, strong, and longer-lasting restorative solution than dentures. Dental implants are fixed to your jaw, so there is no risk of them sliding around in your mouth like dentures do. They actually bond to your living jawbone, becoming a part of your body just like your natural teeth roots. This assists not only in anchoring the dental appliance in place, but also helps maintain your facial structure by preventing the deterioration of bone that can occur with traditional dentures. Plus, with All-on-4 you do not have to worry about special adhesives and their messiness, or cleaning your denture every night.

So, if you are one of the millions of Americans who are missing at least six teeth on a bridge, the All-on-4 might be the tooth restoration option you have been waiting for. Even if you are not missing enough teeth, the All-on-4 can still help you. For patients dealing with advanced gum disease, extreme tooth decay, a history of acid reflux, or other extensive oral disease or damage that has left their teeth unattractive and poorly functioning, the All-on-4 can be a chance to extract those teeth and immediately replace them with something that both looks and works better than natural teeth.

Keep in mind that as good as today's dentures are, they will not feel or function in the same way that your natural teeth did. Traditional dentures also have a reputation for slipping and being the cause of discomfort over time.

Being able to support your dentures, and stabilize them, with the use of dental implants, can be life-altering. Dentures aided by the support of dental implants will not be at risk of slipping or moving about in your mouth. These dentures will provide you with a look and feel that is much closer to your natural teeth.

One of the most-appreciated benefits is that All-On-4 Dental Implants allow for patients to enjoy all the foods they have missed for years. Confidence levels soar and there is a high level of comfort with implant stabilized dentures.

The All-on-4 technique has an immediate function, as well. That is, at the same time as implant surgery, a provisional prosthesis can be placed, which will perfectly fulfill both the aesthetic and functional aspects while osseointegration, the fusing of the bone to the dental implant, occurs. When this happens, the final prosthesis will then be placed.

Often, an All-on-4 treatment can be performed in as little as a single visit, though, depending on your unique circumstances and needs, we may ask you to come in for multiple visits. After an initial consultation where we will get all of your scans and exams out of the way, we will remove any necessary teeth, and then place the four dental implants. Your new teeth are then affixed to the implants and you can be on your way, with a brand-new smile!
