In some cases, a patient may not need to wear a full set of dentures when using other dental technology. If you are missing teeth and would like more information on the choices that are available to you, we invite you to contact us today for more information.

What exactly does All-On-4 mean?

When someone is missing teeth, they need to have something to fill the gap so that the rest of the teeth do not fall out of alignment. While regular dental implants can also help when someone is missing teeth, the All-on-4 dental procedure is the better choice when the patient is only missing one or two teeth.

Instead of inserting a dental implant for every tooth missing, now dentists have the option to only use four dental implants for all missing teeth. We will then help create a custom-made bridge that will attach to the four dental implants, solving the issue of missing teeth. The new and improved dental implant procedure is quickly becoming a preferred choice amongst dental patients who are missing multiple teeth.

The procedure

This dental procedure is often preferable to other options. The All-On-4 procedure is not only a permanent solution to a common dental problem, it also helps to preserve the jawbone, helping to prevent any further deterioration.

Step one

Initial consultation and evaluation with the dentist. This consultation determines whether or not the patient is indeed a candidate for the procedure. If the patient is a candidate, then we will develop a dental treatment plan.

Step two

We will make an impression of the upper and lower teeth, which allows the technician to create a custom-made piece for the patient.

Step three

We will install the dental implants in a procedure that will most likely take a few hours.

Step four

The patient will need to carefully follow the dentist instructions so that they can fully recover from the procedure without any issues.

Step five

The patient will need to see the dentist a few times after the procedure in order to make sure everything is healing properly.

This minimally invasive dental procedure is one that has a very high rate of success.
