The All-on-4® implant technique provides a comprehensive and stable solution for replacing an entire arch of teeth with just four dental implants. This innovative approach is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant bone loss in the jaw and are looking for a permanent solution without undergoing bone grafting. By placing two of the implants at an angle in the back of the mouth, this method offers enhanced stability and support for the full dental prosthesis.
Efficient Treatment with Immediate Results: This technique allows for the immediate placement of temporary teeth on the same day as implant surgery, providing a quick path to a restored smile.
Increased Stability: The angling of the back implants maximizes contact with the existing bone, providing superior stability and reducing the need for bone grafting.
Improved Oral Health and Function: All-on-4® implants help preserve the jawbone and reduce further bone loss. Patients can enjoy a wider range of foods and improved speech thanks to the stability of the implants.
Cost-Effective: Since this method uses only four implants per arch, it is generally less expensive than techniques requiring more implants.
The All-on-4® technique is an excellent choice for patients seeking a full-mouth restoration with minimal surgery and a relatively quick recovery time. It is especially suited for those who have lost a significant amount of jawbone and want to avoid the extensive surgeries associated with bone grafts. This procedure not only restores functionality but also significantly enhances the aesthetic appearance of your smile.
Getting implant-retained dentures typically involves several steps:
Initial Consultation: Detailed examination and imaging to assess your suitability for All-on-4® implants.
Implant Placement: Four implants will be placed in your jawbone—two straight implants in the front and two angled implants in the back. This is typically done under local anesthesia with options for additional sedation.
Immediate Loading: A temporary set of teeth is usually attached to the implants during the same surgical visit. These serve as a functional and cosmetic replacement while your implants integrate with your bone over the next few months.
Permanent Restoration: Once integration is complete, the temporary teeth are replaced with your permanent, custom-made dental prosthesis.
