Missing teeth can change your life and affect your confidence. While dentures can replace missing teeth, they are not ideal for comfort or function. Dental implants are the optimal solution for tooth restorations, but replacing every tooth with an implant is an extensive and expensive process. The All-on-4® treatment concept is a cost-efficient, graftless solution that provides patients with a fixed full-arch prosthesis on the day of surgery, which we offer at Sunset Oral and Facial Surgery in West Hollywood, CA.
Dental implants are the most advanced options in tooth restoration. The titanium post of the implant is inserted into the jawbone and allowed to fuse to the bone for a permanent restoration. Traditional implant-supported dentures still require several implants to be inserted to support the upper and lower arches. All-On-4 is a dental implant technique where the upper or lower set of teeth are replaced with just four implants. These four Implants act as a support mechanism for the placement of a new set of fixed teeth.
Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
Imagine walking into a dental office with no teeth and walking out the same day with a fixed new smile. It is possible with All-on-4 dental implant smile restorations. No need to take out your dentures at night or worry about your teeth slipping when you are eating or speaking – All-on-4 smile restorations look and function like natural teeth. Some of the many benefits of All-on-4 dental implants include:
- Only four implants per arch
- The procedure can be completed in one day
- Fewer implants require less bone
- Less expensive than full mouth implant restorations
- All-on-4 restorations are designed to last long
Most people with missing teeth can qualify for All-on-4 restorations, even if they have been told before that they did not have enough bone density for implant-supported dentures. This is due to the specialized technique used to insert the implants, requiring less bone density than traditional dental implants.
