Are you tired of missing teeth affecting your smile and ability to eat comfortably? Look no further than All-on-4 dental implants! This revolutionary technique involves just four strategically placed titanium posts and a denture plate to restore a full arch of teeth, leaving you with a beautiful, functional smile in just one session. Say goodbye to the hassle of bone grafts and multiple appointments, and hello to a brand new you with All-on-4 dental implants.
What are All-on-4 dental implants?
The All-on-4 dental implant technique, also referred to as full arch implants, comprises four titanium posts strategically implanted along the arch of the jaw and connected to a denture plate. Its primary goal is to replace a complete arch of teeth, restoring the functionality of your bite and the aesthetic of your smile.
This method is an exceptional solution for missing teeth that entails a minor two-hour surgery per arch. The All-on-4 system eliminates the necessity for bone grafts to support the implant as the dentist can position the posts in the most compact part of the jaw. It reduces chair time and recovery time as the whole process, from post insertion to denture fitting, is accomplished in one session, allowing you to leave with a brand new smile on the same day.
What is the All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure?
Curious about All-on-4 dental implants? This innovative dental implant technique utilizes small titanium screws that fuse to your jawbone, replacing the root of a missing tooth. While traditional implants require one for each missing tooth, All-on-4 streamlines the process by using just four implants to support a full set of upper or lower teeth. Unlike the traditional method that may require bone grafting and sinus augmentation, All-on-4 only needs two implants angled at 45 degrees, avoiding areas of low bone density while maintaining strength. Say hello to a new smile without the hassle, thanks to All-on-4.
