All on 4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 implant system is a remarkable implant system that offers people with missing teeth incredible smiles in a single day. Unlike with traditional implants where six to ten implants are necessary to sustain an entire arch of new replacements, the All-on-4 system will involve only four implants to sustain or support the entire arch.
All-On-4 –How It Works
This modern system called All-on-4 is sometimes referred to as same day teeth or even in some cases, teeth in a day. It entails the placing of implants at precise angles within the jaw bone. Normally, two implants will be placed at 90 degrees at the front of the mouth whereas two more implants will be placed 30 to 45 degrees angle at the back of the mouth. This exact placement will ensure maximum support for new replacements while at the same time ensuring that the force brought about by the dental bridges or dentures gets dispersed equally.
All-On-4 – Procedure
The first step usually involves the taking of X-rays so as to establish or ascertain whether a client is suitable for the treatment. It is also during this stage that the client is familiaried with the treatment process and encouraged to ask any questions they might have.
An appointment is then set for those who wish to proceed with the treatment procedure. As soon as the implants are inserted, temporary teeth will be fixed so as to give the implants enough time to heal well. When the dentist proclaims the implants as completely healed, prosthetic that are permanent will be fixed and the treatment procedure comes to a successful end.
Suitable candidates for All-on-4 implants include the following:
- All who have been proclaimed to have a thinning jawbone as a result of bone loss and are unable to benefit from traditional implants as a result.
- Those with loose dentures and experience regular aches and pains as a result of dentures that fit poorly.
- Those who have crown and bridges and wish for a permanent solution.
We have successfully managed to treat clients who have been previously proclaimed as poor candidates for dental implants as a result of inadequate bone density.
All-On-4 –Benefits
The most obvious benefit of All-on-4 is being able to smile in a single day with treatment that is not only functional but extremely confident. Those who have been unable to acquire dental implants due to poor bone density can now acquire them through this procedure. All-on-4 implants do not call for endless visits to the dentist therefore saving you time and money.
