How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?
Dental implants provide the strongest, longest-lasting tooth replacement that modern dentistry has to offer. In order for them to do their job, however, they must be placed in a jawbone that is strong enough to support them. With the All-on-4 protocol, we insert the implants into the bone at places where it is naturally sturdy and thick, which allows them to provide a stable base for the restoration that will be placed on top of them. Two of the implants go toward the back of the jaw, and two get placed in the front. Then, immediately after we insert them, we provide you with a provisional (temporary) denture.
Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
Most adults who have lost all or most of their teeth throughout a dental arch qualify for All-on-4. This even includes patients who have lost some bone mass in their jaw; these individuals might not even need a bone graft before their All-on-4 surgery.
Of course, we will carefully evaluate your oral health and learn about your habits before we give you the go-ahead for any kind of dental implants in Newington. You should be free of gum disease, have a good oral hygiene routine, and be determined to break any habits that might compromise your implants’ success (such as smoking).
What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Implants?
Benefits of this treatment include:
- All-on-4 dentures are permanently fixed in the mouth, making them convenient and easy to care for.
- You can enjoy a strong bite force that is capable of handling virtually any food.
- Implants stimulate the jawbone and can help to keep it healthy and whole.
- After you adjust to your new teeth, you can expect them to feel natural and comfortable in your mouth.
- The streamlined nature of the treatment process may mean that All-on-4 implants are less expensive and less invasive than other types of implant procedures.
- Even many patients who do not qualify for traditional dental implants can get All-on-4.
All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants
As noted above, All-on-4 is often less expensive, faster, and less invasive than traditional forms of implant treatments, which may require up to eight dental implants for full-arch replacement. Additionally, All-on-4 usually requires just one surgery, while traditional implants may require two or more.
With that being said, there are cases in which traditional implants are the better option. As your implant dentist in Newington, we will thoroughly examine your mouth and learn about your circumstances before we recommend the treatment that we believe will be the best fit for you.
