All on 4 Dental Implants
The “All-on-4” dental implant technique is a specific approach to restoring a full arch of teeth (either upper or lower) using only four dental implants. It is a popular and effective solution for individuals who are missing a significant number of teeth or who have failing teeth in a full arch.
About Single tooth implants
Technique
- Technique: Initial Assessment: The process begins with a comprehensive dental evaluation to assess the patient’s oral health, the condition of the remaining teeth (if any), and bone density in the jaw.
- Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, the dentist or oral surgeon creates a personalized treatment plan, which outlines the steps for the All-on-4 procedure.
- Implant Placement: Four dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, typically two in the front and two in the back. These implants serve as anchors to support the prosthetic arch.
- Temporary Prosthesis: A temporary, fixed prosthesis is attached to the implants on the same day of surgery, allowing the patient to have functional teeth immediately.
- Healing and Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration, ensuring a strong and stable foundation for the final prosthetic arch.
- Final Prosthesis: Once osseointegration is complete, a permanent fixed prosthesis is attached to the implants. This prosthesis is custom-designed to match the patient’s natural teeth in color, shape, and size.
Benefits
- Restored Functionality: All-on-4 implants provide excellent chewing and speaking abilities, similar to natural teeth.
- Aesthetics: The prosthetic arch looks natural, significantly improving the patient’s smile and facial appearance.
- Minimal Bone Requirements: All-on-4 can often be performed without the need for extensive bone grafting, making it suitable for patients with moderate bone loss.
- Quick Solution: Patients receive a temporary prosthesis immediately after implant placement, allowing them to avoid the inconvenience of removable dentures.
- Fewer Implants: Compared to traditional implant methods, All-on-4 uses fewer implants while still providing strong support for the prosthesis.
