All-On-4 Method – A REASON TO SMILE AGAIN

Can four implants replace all of your teeth on the top or bottom of your mouth?
Thanks to advances in dental implant technology, the answer is Yes.

Believe it or not, more than 35 million people in America are missing all of their upper and/or lower teeth. Rather than living with the discomfort and hassles of dentures, many people are choosing to go for what is now called “All-On-Four” dental implant restoration.

All-on-four: One full arch of teeth, four dental implants

Unlike crowns and bridges, you do not need a dental implant for each and every missing tooth. To restore your full smile all you need are four precisely placed implants on the top of your mouth and four on the bottom. That is the beauty of the all-on-four method. Furthermore, because the implant is made of titanium, it has the unique ability to fuse to living bone and function as a part of the structure of your mouth. This means that the dental implant eventually becomes part of your jawbone and serves as a strong, long-lasting foundation for your new teeth.

Besides ensuring that your implants are permanently fixed in place, this bone fusion process has the important benefit of preventing future bone loss in the jaw. This helps to maintain a more youthful facial structure and better oral health. However, the biggest surprise about the all-on-four method is how quickly it can transform your life! After your first treatment, you will have implants placed and in only a few hours, you will return home with a new bright smile. It will give you instant self-confidence, since the teeth are attached to your implants. This method has been the trend over the past 5 years, since it only takes 4 implants and is especially useful in patients who has lost significant bone due to gum disease or due to long term denture wear.

There is another method that is better for people who have enough bone but have no teeth or fractures teeth, often people who suffered from severe grinding/bruxism. In this method about 6 implants are needed per arch. Clickable line to the below info of Traditional Full Arch Implants restored with implant bridges.
