How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?
The All-on-4 procedure involves surgically placing four dental implants into your jawbone so that they can act as the foundation for a personalized denture. The key to the treatment is to let the dental implants fuse with the parts of the jaw where the bone is the thickest. To that end, each post will be inserted at very specific angles in carefully chosen parts of the jaw.
Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
All-on-4 is recommended for patients who are missing an entire arch of teeth. However, before you can get dental implants, our team will need to make sure that your mouth is healthy. We’ll check for signs of gum disease and other oral health issues that will need to be treated before beginning the All-on-4 process.
Note that if you have experienced bone loss in your jaw, you could still be a candidate for All-on-4 even without bone grafting. The way the dental implants are placed means less bone density is required.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implants
One advantage of the All-on-4 procedure is that your replacement teeth will be anchored in place at all times. Not only does this prevent them from slipping out of place at awkward moments, but it also lets you brush and floss them as if they were your real teeth.
Furthermore, the implant posts themselves will provide enough bite force to let you enjoy all kinds of foods without issue. On top of that, the stimulation from the implant posts makes them the only form of tooth replacement that can actively help prevent bone loss in the jaw.
All-On-4 vs. Traditional Implants
What makes All-on-4 different from traditional dental implant placement? For one thing, All-on-4 lets our team replace an entire row of teeth with fewer posts. With traditional dental implants, as many as eight posts might be needed to support a full denture.
Additionally, All-on-4 can often be performed without bone grafting, resulting in a shorter treatment plan. And when it comes to receiving new teeth, All-on-4 often makes it possible to have a denture placed on the same day that the implant posts are surgically inserted into your jaw.
