With All-on-4 treatment, there are no concerns about special cleaning and care for your new teeth, nor will you have to contend with dietary restrictions. With this restoration treatment from Community Roots Family Dentistry, you’ll get a brand-new smile that is as healthy as it is beautiful.
All-on-4 Treatment Basics
All-on-4 treatment offers full-arch replacement through the use of four implants. The treatment is like traditional dental implants, but instead of using an implant post for each tooth replacement, a full arch prosthesis is attached to strategically placed posts. As a result, you get the full-arch replacement that you get with dentures, but with a fixed restoration that functions like implants. This is an ideal treatment for anyone missing a substantial number of teeth or who needs to undergo tooth extractions along a full arch.
All-on-4 Treatment Process
After you and your dentist determine that All-on-4 is the right treatment for you, your dentist will take bite impressions and measurements that will be used to create your prosthesis. Once your prosthesis is ready, you will have your All-on-4 procedure. At this time, it may be necessary to remove the remaining teeth in your arch to make space for the prosthesis. After this process, your dentist will place four dental implant posts under your gum, allowing the top of the posts to remain above the gumline. With the posts in place, your dentist will attach an abutment to each one. An abutment is a structure that connects the posts and the prosthetic full arch. After checking your bite and ensuring that everything looks and feels comfortable, the All-on-4 full arch replacement will be permanently secured. The entire process is completed in one day because you should never have to live with missing teeth.
All-on-4 Benefits
All-on-4 full arch replacement is a game-changer for people with multiple missing teeth who either don’t want to deal with traditional dentures or who are currently wearing traditional dentures and want an easier, faster solution. All-on-4 implants can be brushed and flossed like your normal teeth, and you do not have to follow a special diet as you would with dentures. There is no risk of them slipping when you speak, and they help your face to retain its structure, unlike dentures, which can sometimes allow bone loss to occur. Best of all, you’ll feel confident in your smile again, so you can get back to living life to the fullest.
