All Teeth on 4 or 6
All-on-4® implants can provide full-arch restoration with only four implant posts, unlike traditional dental implants that typically require one post per missing tooth. This innovative approach differs in several key ways:
- Number of Implants - All-Teeth-on-4 simplifies this by using only four strategically placed implants on the top or bottom of the mouth to support an entire arch of teeth.
- Bone Grafting - All-on-4 implants can eliminate the need for bone grafting by taking advantage of the existing bone structure.
- Treatment Time - All-on-4 implants reduce overall treatment time.
- Cost - Because they require fewer implants and typically do not need bone grafts, all-on-4 implants can be more cost-effective than traditional implants.
- Recovery Time - With fewer implants and surgical sites, the recovery time all-on-4 is generally shorter than that of traditional implants.
- Stability and Comfort - With all-on-4, the implants are anchored to the jawbone, allowing patients to bite and chew with stability.
- Aesthetic Outcome - All-on-4 implants offer a long-term solution that is designed to look, feel and function like natural teeth.
All-on-4 Implants in Harris Park
All-on-4 may be a viable option for patients looking for a less invasive and more immediate solution to tooth loss. We invite you to contact our dental practice to book a consultation with Dr Alam and his team.
A good candidate for All-on-4 is the discerning patient seeking a stable tooth replacement option that restores function. Additionally, it may be ideal for patients with substantial tooth loss.
Of course, your dentist will evaluate your case to determine candidacy.
Considerations include jawbone viability, sinus placement, and other specific conditions. After your evaluation, the dentist will discuss findings and let you know whether you’re a candidate.
It may be that you need bone grafting or other pretreatments to help make implants a reality.
If you smoke, it is best to quit because it slows healing and can lead to gum disease and other oral health issues that compromise your implants.
How All-on-4 Works
For All-on-4, your dentist uses four to six dental implants to secure an entire arch of restoration teeth, which is typically less expensive than one implant for every lost tooth.
Using image-guided technology, your dentist secures the implants into the jawbone for integration. Then we attach the custom denture.
With implant dentures, you don’t have to worry about adjustments or relines. You’ll never need an adhesive.
