All-On-four Service
Get the best of dentures without the drawbacks with the All-on-4 procedure. Dental implants are great, but they’re primarily designed to fill in the gaps left by a single or a few missing teeth at a time. When you need more coverage than that, implant-supported dentures work great. You get the peace of mind that comes from a secure grip, but you still have the ability to remove your dentures as needed for cleaning and repairs. Enjoy the best of both types of dental care by combining implants and dentures into a single solution for missing teeth.
If you’re just missing a few teeth, you’re likely still a good candidate for partial dentures or individual dental implants. Single implants easily fill in smaller gaps and restore the natural look of your smile and your bite strength. However, you don’t want to install a lot of implants across your entire mouth just to restore your smile. When you have a higher number of teeth missing, it may make more sense to remove the ones that are left and start from scratch. Full and partial implant-supported dentures do a better job of staying in place and help keep your gum and jaw tissue from receding over time. There’s no need to live with the long-term struggles of missing teeth like:
You can get fast results with minimal downtime by committing to the All-on-Four process. It starts with removing any remaining teeth you have, or making plans for partial dentures that fit around them. Between four and six implants are placed in the jaw, connecting directly to the bone tissue with titanium material that is bio-compatible. After a few months, the post integrates with your jaw and becomes nearly as strong as your natural tooth roots. At that point, we can create the custom dentures to fit the implant alignment. These dentures snap into place, keeping them from moving around even as you laugh, shout, and chew. You get a natural looking smile without the issues that often come with wearing dentures. You can eat all your favorite foods again and won’t have to deal with messy denture adhesives that aren’t always reliable. It’s much harder to tell someone has dentures when they don’t slip or move around thanks to secure implant support.
The All-on-Four process is highly streamlined. It’s designed to reduce the amount of implants needed to support both upper and lower dentures. Only four implants are needed for each part of the denture, speeding healing compared to trying to place individual crowns. Your treatment process may take longer if you need gum grafts and bone stimulation to prepare for the placement of the posts. Dental crowns also take a few weeks to craft in a precision dental laboratory. In total, you should be able to accomplish the restoration in as little as six months. That’s a drastically shorter time frame than the 12 to 18 months required for putting in individual implants.
Getting implant-supported dentures is a life-changing investment in your future. It’s a bargain if you consider that the implants will last for the rest of your life with care. You may need to get the dentures repaired or replaced after a few decades, but that’s only a fraction of the cost of the total treatment. 3D X-rays and gum grafts help prepare you for the highest chance of success with your implants. You’ll find plenty of flexible financing and payment options at our office to help you fit the cost into your budget.
