What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants utilize four implants to support a full arch of teeth. This technique involves placing two implants at the front of the jawbone and two angled implants at the back for maximum stability, even in cases of jawbone loss.
Advantages of All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 dental implants provide numerous advantages, such as:
- Enhanced Appearance: All-on-4 implants offer a natural and attractive restoration that enhances your look.
- Improved Comfort: These implants are securely attached to the jawbone, ensuring a stable and comfortable fit for eating, talking, and smiling.
- Enhanced Functionality: All-on-4 implants restore your ability to bite and chew effectively, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without any concerns about movement.
Differences Between All-on-4 and Traditional Implant Procedures
During a traditional dental implant procedure, patients usually require three or more visits to complete the process. The initial visit involves extracting the affected tooth and inserting the dental implant. The second visit is for placing the attachment site for the restoration, and the final visit is when the permanent crown is attached. There may be a healing period of 2 weeks to 3 months between each visit, resulting in the entire process lasting 6 to 9 months.
In contrast, All-on-4 simplifies the process by enabling patients to receive both the dental implant and restoration in just one appointment! This streamlined approach is achieved through the use of 3D CT Scan planning software to carefully plan out the implant placement and surgery. With minimal healing time, patients can enjoy their new restorations right away.
How It Works
The All-on-4 implant procedure begins with an initial consultation with our Doctors, where they will evaluate your oral health and medical history to determine your eligibility for the treatment. If deemed suitable, X-rays will be taken and a comprehensive surgical plan will be developed using state-of-the-art 3D CT Scan Planning software.
During the procedure, the implant specialist will use anesthesia to numb the implant sites before inserting 4 (or more) titanium implants into your jaw. Afterward, our Doctors will provide a temporary restoration for you to wear during the healing process. Once the implants have successfully fused with the jawbone, our Doctors will give you a permanent restoration to achieve a natural-looking smile.
