What Are All-on-4 Implants?
You may know that dental implants are artificial tooth roots that support restorations like dentures. However, if you have experienced jawbone deterioration due to tooth loss, you may not qualify for traditional implants. The All-on-4 method of implant placement allows your dentist to strategically place just four implants to restore a full arch.
Most healthy patients with mild to moderate bone loss can undergo this restorative dentistry treatment without bone grafting–saving you time, money, and additional recovery time.
Take a Closer Look
The team at our dentistry practice in Merritt Island, FL, will place just four implants in your arch. Two of these implants will be placed at an angle to maximize your existing jawbone material. Once you are healed, your custom dentures are secured to the implants to replace your missing natural teeth.
Benefits of All-on-4
Fewer Dental Implants
Traditional dental implants typically require about eight implants per arch. The All-on-4 method requires only four dental implants to be placed along a single arch. If both dental arches require restoration, four will be placed on the top and four on the bottom.
Stops Bone Atrophy
Like traditional dental implants, All-on-4 dental implants can stop and prevent further jawbone deterioration. This will help keep your jawbone healthy and can also prevent further dental issues.
No Bone Grafting
Because the All-on-4 technique maximizes your existing bone material, patients can often skip bone grafting. This saves you time, money, and recovery time. However, if you have significant bone atrophy, bone grafting may still be needed.
Restored Smile
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, simple pleasures like eating and speaking may be difficult. All-on-4 dental implants paired with a custom denture can restore your oral health, function, and appearance, allowing you to speak with confidence and eat the foods you love.
Faster Recovery
Because only four dental implants are needed for All-on-4 treatment, recovery is typically faster than traditional dental implant placement, allowing you to move on with life faster. Plus, a temporary denture can usually be placed immediately after your surgery.
Maximum Stability
Because your dentures are secured directly to the implants in your jaw, you can enjoy maximum stability. There is no risk of your dentures slipping when you eat or speak.
Candidates for All-on-4
While All-on-4 implants are a great restorative dentistry treatment, not everyone will initially qualify. You may be a good candidate if you:
Are in Good Oral Health
Before implant placement can take place, you must be in good oral health and free of tooth decay or gum disease. Our dental practice in Merritt Island, FL, offers comprehensive treatment options to help you achieve a healthy foundation for your
dental implants.Have Significant Tooth Loss
All-on-4 is designed to restore an entire arch of missing teeth. Unless they require extractions, patients who are only missing a tooth or a few teeth should consider other implant restorations like crowns and bridges.
Have a Strong Enough Jawbone
While All-on-4 treatment can help patients suffering from jawbone loss, you must still have insufficient bone material. If you have significant bone loss, our dentists can refer you to a trusted oral surgeon for bone grafting.
