What Are All-on-4® Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are appliances that only use four implants to support a full set of teeth.
With this procedure, you will have a complete set of teeth and a strong anchorage base on just four dental implants.
In short, All-on-4 is a teeth replacement option where four implants support the crowns. This process is beneficial because it is stable and can be done quickly.
It helps restore your facial aesthetics and enhance your smile.
Unlike traditional dental implants, All-on-4 implants have a stronger base that allows you to use them freely. This helps restore the overall function of your teeth.
How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?
All-on-4 dental implants are a revolutionary dental procedure that allows full-arch rehabilitation.
They utilize a minimum of four dental implants, making them ideal for multiple tooth implants.
When you come to our offices for this procedure, our our team and our doctors will thoroughly examine your condition to create an ideal treatment plan based on your needs.
Keep in mind that this procedure is highly recommended for patients missing several teeth.
If you have been involved in an accident that caused several teeth loss, an All-on-4 implant procedure will greatly help.
Our experts will perform an installation procedure that leaves you looking stunning. You will not have missing teeth, giving you a more natural smile. Besides, you will be able to chew food comfortably.
We advise that you take good care of your dental implants to prevent damage. Brush regularly to get rid of harmful bacteria that could result in infections.
What Are the Benefits of All-on-4?
There are many benefits of All-on-4 implants.
• |
Restore Your Bite - With dental implants, you can bite with the same force as natural teeth. This is because implants are anchored deep into the jawbone and can withstand high-pressure levels. Other teeth replacement options can fail when too much pressure is exerted.
|
• |
Prevent Bone Loss - With missing teeth in your mouth, your jaw will significantly lose bone mass. This is because the jawbone relies on teeth to maintain its mass. Unlike other teeth replacement options, dental implants replace jawbone stimulation and help avoid the loss of bone mass. This keeps your mouth healthy and prevents oral conditions.
|
• |
Reduce the Risk of Cavities - One of the biggest benefits of dental implants is the fact that they can't get cavities. With artificial teeth, you need to care for them as they are susceptible to bacteria that cause cavities. This is not the case with dental implants. Dental implant material cannot decay, keeping cavities at bay. With dental implants, you don't have to worry about getting cavities. |
Dental Implants - FAQ's
How Long Does It Take to Get All-on-4 Dental Implants?
It takes between four to six months to get All-on-4 dental implants.
The procedure happens over several phases to ensure the implants are healed.
It is vital to know that this is only a timeframe, which could take shorter or longer, depending on the person.
If the patient needs additional dental work, it could take longer. Either way, their effectiveness will not be compromised.
Am I a Candidate for All-on-4?
Only some people can get these implants, as there are various requirements that must be met.
Before approving you for All-on-4, there are several factors we consider.
• |
Oral Health - Good oral health is mandatory when getting All-on-4 implants. If you have any underlying conditions like gum disease, we will treat them first before we consider placing the implants.
|
• |
Sufficient Bone Mass - To get these dental implants, you must have sufficient bone mass. Significantly low bone mass increases the risk of implant failure and could make you ineligible.
|
• |
Have Good Overall Health - You must be in good overall health to be eligible for All-on-4 dental implants. Many health problems increase the risk of dental failure. They affect or prevent the bone structure from integrating with the dental implants, making them weaker. |
How Do I Clean My All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Taking good care of your dental implants is crucial for their durability. One way of doing so is by cleaning them.
There are several ways you can clean All-on-4 implants. For instance, use super floss to clean the bridges after every meal. This keeps them clean and prevents plaque buildup.
It would be best if you also rinsed your mouth to get rid of harmful bacteria. Use an antibacterial mouth rinse to remove harmful substances that could damage your All-on-4 dental implants.
When brushing, use an electric toothbrush for more effective cleaning. If you don't have an electric toothbrush, use a regular one efficiently to ensure there are no bacteria. Remember to brush your cheeks and tongue as they tend to host bacteria.
