All-on-4® is a complete treatment especially designed for clients without enough bone for standard implants. In the past, if a patient had not enough jawbone left for implants, they only had two choices: ordinary dentures or a bone graft procedure. All-on-4® offers the choice of dental implants without necessitating a jawbone graft.
The All-on-4® Remedy
Before, the only solution for a loss of bone was appending more bone with grafting. Although bone grafting has benefits, it also increases expenses and requires more time for mending. The All-on-4® repair to the jawbone grafting dilemma was began over thirty years ago in Portugal. Research and testing, followed by years of study around the world, led to apparent confirmation of the following benefits that come from All-on-4®:
- Lower Cost — Half the price of dental implants typically comes from the requirement for bone grafting. Eliminating jawbone grafts lessens the cost of the All-on-4® treatment.
- Heightened Quality — If you do not have bone grafts, you demand better implants that can still fasten securely to accessible jawbone. All-on-4® dental implants were specifically engineered for this function.
- Minimal Time — All-on-4® eliminates the healing time involved for jawbone grafts and promptly provides a functioning, secure attachment to the jaws for the majority of patients.
- Finer Attractiveness — By providing teeth on the same day of the treatment, All-on-4® starts reviving patient confidence right away!
So, if you’re tired of broken dentures or have struggled to confront life without teeth, the All-on-4® system is designed to assist you and the Placerville Dental Group is ready to help with this life-changing procedure.
The All-on-4® Procedure
Your First All-on-4® Consult
Only 4 implants are necessary to restore the teeth on the maxillary and mandibular arch of the jawbone, thus the name All-on-4®. At your first consultation for All-on-4®, our Placerville dentist determines your objectives. For example, do you desire permanently fixed artificial teeth, or the kind that snap-on and off the dental implants? What appearance and color would you want for the teeth? What is your medical history and how will it affect your procedure? Are you applying All-on-4® for both the upper and lower arch, or just one?
Choosing Implant Attachment
Once your goals have been decided, the following step is to contemplate the placement of your implants. The method of placing dental implants necessitates a considerable deal of precision. To assist with this, x-rays and scans are taken to reveal the essential bone structure that we administer to place your dental implants. Based on the remaining bone, we select the style of All-on-4® treatment necessary and the dental implants recommended to ensure success.
How to Create the Perfect Smile
Digital studies about your gumline, jaw, and bone structure is used to make guides that help the doctor place the dental implants exactly. Some tooth extractions may be necessary, and adjustments might be made to your gumline for cosmetic reasons. The dental implants are all installed at the same time. For the majority of patients, after confirming the sturdiness of the implants’ connection to the jawbone, transitional “healing dentures” are screwed in place on the implants, so you can leave our dental clinic with a full set of teeth on the same day as your procedure.
Placing the Dental Implants
Two to three months later, when the implants have integrated with your jawbone, we install the long-term dentures and your All-on-4® treatment is over. You depart with a fully practical set of teeth that rebuild your capacity to eat, sing, and speak and live the manner in which you want!
