With all-on-four dental implants, most patients can have a full arch of teeth replaced in just one day. Thanks to the unique design, which allows for the precise placement of four dental implants, you can enjoy a shorter treatment process. This one-day procedure not only saves time but also reduces stress and anxiety for our patients.
Traditional dental implants often require bone grafting or other procedures to ensure sufficient bone support for the implant. All-on-four dental implants eliminate the need for additional surgeries, making them a less invasive and more comfortable option for many patients.
All-on-four dental implants can cater to a wide range of dental situations and preferences. Patients can choose from various materials, such as acrylic, porcelain, or zirconia, for their new teeth, as well as select a design that best suits their facial features and personal aesthetic goals.
With proper care and maintenance, all-on-four dental implants can last a lifetime. The unique design and implant positioning offers stability and resistance to wear, providing patients with a permanent tooth replacement solution that they can rely on for years to come.
When it comes to all-on-four dental implants, the procedure is relatively straightforward and streamlined. Here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect during your visit:
To ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience, we’ll administer appropriate anesthesia and sedation options based on your needs and preferences. Many patients opt for IV sedation, which provides a deeper level of relaxation during the procedure.
During the surgery, our skilled dental professionals will precisely place the four dental implants into the patient’s jawbone at specific angles. These implants will act as anchors for the full-arch prosthesis or denture.
After the successful placement of dental implants, we will affix a temporary full-arch prosthesis to your new implant posts. This temporary set of teeth will allow you to eat and speak normally while the implants heal and fuse with your jawbone.
Once your implants have fully healed and integrated with your jawbone, typically within 3-6 months, we will replace the temporary prosthesis with a custom-made, permanent restoration designed to match your natural teeth and facial features.
Just as with natural teeth, it’s crucial to clean your dental implants and prosthetics regularly. Brush at least twice a day and floss daily, paying special attention to the area where the prosthetic meets the gumline.
Schedule check-ups and dental cleanings every six months to ensure the long-term success of your dental implants. These appointments will allow us to monitor your oral health and address any potential issues promptly.
To protect your dental implants and prosthetics, avoid chewing on hard foods or using your teeth to open packages. Also, refrain from smoking, as it can negatively impact your oral health and implant longevity.
A water flosser or interdental brush can help you clean hard-to-reach areas around your dental implants. Additionally, an antimicrobial mouth rinse can aid in reducing bacteria and maintaining overall oral health.
