When Dentures Aren't Right for You
The All-on-4® technique might be right for you! This technique uses four, strategically placed dental implants that allow a full-arch denture to be securely and permanently placed over them. You’ll be able to speak clearly and taste your favorite foods. They won’t slip or lift while you speak, and you won’t misplace them.
The Benefits
All-on-4® is a cost-efficient, minimally invasive method to restore the function of your mouth and give you back the confidence that comes with a beautiful smile. The best part? You will leave the office with a temporarily fixed, full-arch denture the day of treatment!
Not only does the All-on-4® technique restore the beauty of your smile it helps prevent further bone loss. The implants act as a scaffold that supports the existing bone giving it something to hold on to.
The Procedure
Using computer-guided surgery, the doctor determines the four best locations for implants and inserts them into the bone. An implant is a small titanium screw that fits inside your jawbone and acts like a root of a tooth.
This process usually takes a few months, and then you will be fitted for a full-arch denture that is permanently secured to the implants.
