Call our office to schedule an appointment to find out how we can help you achieve the smile of your dreams with All-on-4.
How Do All-On-4 Implants Work?
While traditional implants require between four and six titanium posts to be embedded into your jawbone, All-on-4 only uses four implant posts. Using the densest areas of your jawbone, we can position each post so that it remains stable and strong while providing maximum support to your new denture.
Two posts will be placed toward the back of your mouth, while two additional ones will be positioned toward the front. This helps to keep your smile balanced and capable of eating, speaking, and smiling without any concerns.
Am I a Candidate for All-On-4 Implants?
At Coco Dental, our implant dentist will need to perform a thorough evaluation before clearing you for minor oral surgery. We must first check your oral health to find out if any existing gum disease or tooth decay exists. If so, we must perform the necessary treatments first before moving forward with All-on-4. Otherwise, these common oral health problems can cause problems that impact your healthy teeth and implants.
We must also determine if you are in good general health so that you can safely undergo minor oral surgery. If we believe you are a good candidate for All-on-4, you can expect the next step to be scheduling an appointment to have your implants put into place.
Benefits of All-On-4 Implants
All-on-4 dental implants offer many unique benefits that you won’t find with other tooth replacement solutions, such as:
- Continuous jawbone stimulation
- Improved oral health
- Permanency that often has prosthetics lasting 30+ years with proper care
- A natural-looking appearance that helps to turn back the clock on aging
- Reduced risk of systemic issues that are known to be tied to tooth loss, such as diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis
All-On-4 vs. Traditional Implants
While it might seem as if All-on-4 is the same as dental implants, they have some differences that are worth pointing out:
- All-on-4 requires only four implant posts instead of traditional dental implants, which can require up to 6 or 8.
- All-on-4 is a cheaper tooth replacement option because fewer implant posts are needed.
- All-on-4 does not require bone grating to enhance density within your jawbone. Traditional dental implants do.
- It is possible that depending on your case, you may be able to receive your new teeth on the same day as your All-on-4 placement procedure.
