While it’s hard to imagine, you can lose all or most of your teeth to accidents or advanced periodontal disease. Conventional dentures offer a quick and economical solution for full mouth restoration. Unfortunately, their results can be disappointing over time. Traditional dentures become unstable and uncomfortable as your jawbone copes with tooth loss.
All-on-4 implants are an innovative solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. This tooth replacement system anchors a full-mouth denture using only four dental implants. Since the implants are secured in the jawbone, your replacement teeth don’t slip or fall out when using your teeth. Eat, talk, smile, and sneeze without worrying about your teeth!
Issue: This patient was very self conscious about her missing teeth and cavities throughout including several abscessed teeth.
Solution: Removal of all upper and lower teeth, replaced with 5 implants on her upper arch and 4 implants on the lower arch. Both arches were restored with implant attached Zirconia restorations.
Many patients find the procedure seamless and more comfortable than anticipated. It all starts with a consultation with a full inquiry into your medical history. The dentist also examines your oral and jawbone health with digital scans, X-rays, and photos to determine your implant eligibility. Unlike traditional implants, patients rarely need bone grafting to restore their smile with the all-on-4 implants.
The next step is implant surgery—a minor surgical procedure that involves placing biocompatible titanium implants in the jawbone. Before the procedure, the dentist ensures you are comfortable by numbing your gums with powerful anesthetics. Then, the doctor strategically angles your implants in the jawbone to provide maximum support to your prosthetic teeth.
After implant placement, we’ll restore your smile with a temporary denture. Same-day restoration ensures you maintain your function and appearance as you heal. Over the next 4-6 months, your implants integrate with the jawbone to form a rock-solid foundation for your replacement teeth. After healing, you’ll visit our office to restore your implants with a permanent customized denture.
Full mouth restoration with the all-on-4 technique transforms your life in the following ways.
