For individuals with a full mouth of missing teeth and who’ve been told they’re ineligible for implant-retained dentures, the reason might be that the jawbone is too weak to serve as a solid foundation for implants.
This type of news can be hard to take, but fortunately, at Pearl Dental Associates, our team can restore smiles with All-On-4 dental implants. This unique alternative to traditional implants uses strategically placed implants in areas that do not require bone grafting or sinus lift procedures.
In one day, you can have your implants placed and be fitted with a temporary restoration, giving you a complete smile the same day you arrive.
To find out if you qualify, call us today to schedule an appointment!
When pursuing treatment with All-On-4 dental implants, our team will use 4 titanium implant posts that mimic your natural tooth root and surgically place them in your jawbone.
Based on your X-rays, we will evaluate which areas will receive implants and carefully position them at 45-degree angles. This prevents an implant from being placed in an area that would need a bone graft or sinus lift to effectively stabilize the implant and restoration.
Once they are positioned and your implant dentist is satisfied with their stability, we will secure a temporary denture into place, giving you “teeth in a day.”
For the next several months, you can expect your implants to fuse to the bone and surrounding tissue in a process known as osseointegration. This must be successful in order for your new smile to last decades or more.
Dental implants of all kinds are considered a superior solution to traditional dentures, bridges and crowns, and partials.
However, when it comes to comparing All-On-4 against traditional dental implants, there are some differences that a prospective patient should not overlook, including:
