How do All on 4 dental implants work?
To replace all of your missing teeth, previously it would have been common to place 8 to 10 implants per jaw and many times extra surgery such as bone grafts or sinus lifts would be needed. The all on 4 dental implant technique uses the dense bone in the front of your mouth to strategically place 4 implants. 2 of the dental implants are placed at clever angles and so in most cases can avoid any additional surgery.
The planning for this procedure can take several weeks and usually involves taking x-rays and sometimes a c.t scan also. Once fully planned the actual procedure can be completed in one day and is also known as ‘teeth in a day’ or ‘same day teeth’. After the implants are placed a provisional set of teeth are attached allowing you to eat and smile straight away. These teeth can be adjusted and modified to ensure that we get the exact appearance that you want and also allows time for healing. After a healing period of 3-6 months your final teeth are constructed and fitted once the dental implants are fully integrated into your bone.
The All-on-4 concept is an innovative concept allowing people with no teeth to have fixed teeth that look and function like natural teeth in only one day. We can give you beautiful new teeth in just one visit.
