How Do All-On-4 Implants Work?
Dental implants are typically embedded into the jawbone to provide a more lifelike and stable foundation for restorations, such as dental crowns. However, this isn’t a viable option if a patient is missing an entire arch of teeth. To rebuild their smile, our team can utilize just four dental implants across the dental arch to support a full denture. Due to the angle and specific placement of the metal posts, patients may not even require bone grafting beforehand. After having embedded them into the jawbone, you can also expect to receive a temporary prosthetic right after the procedure while you wait to receive your permanent denture.
Am I a Candidate for All-On-4 Implants?
Those who are eligible for All-On-4 implants will typically need to meet the following criteria:
- Are missing most or all of their teeth in a dental arch
- Are free of any gum disease or other major oral health problems
- Have sufficient jawbone volume (usually met without requiring bone grafts)
- Committed to preserving good long-term oral health
- Have great overall health for smoother recovery after surgery
Benefits of All-On-4 Implants
With All-On-4 implants, most patients can look forward to a wide range of benefits to their oral and overall health, including:
- Enhanced biting power to expand dietary choices
- Natural-looking results that also feel like normal teeth
- Simplified maintenance due to the dentures being permanently fitted to the implants
- Jawbone preservation due to the stimulation in the jaw from the dental implants
All-On-4 vs. Traditional Implants
This procedure offers a quick and affordable way to rebuild your smile compared to traditional dental implants. Not only does it require a less invasive process (often due to not needing bone grafting), but it can also involve only one surgery instead of two or more. That said, there are times when traditional dental implants might be preferable, such as when you need maximum stability and strength. Our team will walk you through the treatment options so that you’re fully informed about the pros and cons, that way you can make the best decision for your smile.
