How Do All-On-4 Dental Implants Work?

All-on-4 is a treatment that combines dental implants with dentures to provide a strong, complete, and beautiful smile replacement. Unlike traditional implant dentures, all-on-4 allows us to place four dental implants in the jawbone during a single procedure. By identifying the areas of the jawbone with the most volume, we ensure optimal implant placement. After making small incisions in the gums and carefully creating openings in the bone, all four implants can be placed in just a single visit.

Am I A Candidate for All-On-4 Dental Implants?

If you’ve lost or are expecting to lose an entire arch of teeth, all-on-4 dental implants are a great option to consider. Even if it has been some time since your teeth were removed, the procedure is often still viable. However, we’ll need to ensure your gums are healthy, as infections can prevent the jawbone from properly integrating with the implant posts, potentially leading to failure. If you’re dealing with gum disease or another oral health issue, you may still be eligible for this solution after receiving the necessary treatment.

Benefits of All-On-4 Dental Implants

By choosing all-on-4 dental implants, you can expect to reap several incredible benefits:

• Natural-Looking Appearance: Enjoy a smile that looks completely natural, boosting your confidence and overall appearance
• Unmatched Durability: Anchored in the jawbone, all-on-4 implants function just like real teeth, letting you eat all your favorite foods without worry
• Convenience: Unlike traditional implants that require multiple appointments, all-on-4 allows you to leave our office with a new smile in just one visit.
• Improved Health: By stimulating the jawbone, dental implants prevent further bone loss, helping to maintain your facial structure after tooth loss.

All-On-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants

Traditional implants may require bone grafts if the jawbone has deteriorated in the areas where implants need to be placed. However, all-on-4 implants are strategically placed to utilize the densest parts of the bone, often eliminating the need for grafting. Additionally, while traditional implants can take several months before new teeth can be placed, all-on-4 implants can typically support temporary dentures immediately after placement.
