Losing most or all of your teeth can greatly impact your quality of life, affecting your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Fortunately, All-on-4 and full mouth dental implants offer a reliable, long-lasting solution that restores your smile and oral function with a fixed, natural-feeling set of teeth.
In this article, we’ll explore the combined procedure, benefits, and help you determine if you’re a good candidate for this transformative treatment.
What Is the All-on-4 and Full Mouth Dental Implant Procedure?
All-on-4 and full mouth dental implants involve placing a small number of dental implants—typically four to six per arch—strategically into your jawbone. These implants serve as stable anchors to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This technique often avoids the need for complex bone grafting, making it suitable for patients with moderate bone loss.
Procedure Overview:
- Consultation and Planning: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, specialists assess your jawbone and plan the implant placement precisely.
- Implant Placement: The implants are surgically inserted into your jaw, often on the same day as any necessary tooth extractions.
- Immediate Temporary Teeth: In many cases, temporary fixed teeth are attached the same day, allowing you to leave the office with a functional smile.
- Healing Phase: Over the next few months, the implants integrate with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
- Final Restoration: Custom-made permanent teeth are fabricated and securely attached to the implants, providing a natural look and feel.
Benefits of All-on-4 and Full Mouth Dental Implants
- Secure and Stable: Unlike removable dentures, your new teeth are fixed firmly in place. No slipping or adhesives needed.
- Preserves Jawbone: Implants stimulate bone health and prevent the bone loss that typically follows tooth loss.
- Restored Function: Enjoy improved chewing efficiency and bite strength, allowing a more varied diet.
- Natural Appearance: Custom-designed prosthetics enhance your smile and facial structure.
- Faster Treatment: Immediate temporary teeth reduce downtime and improve comfort.
- Long-Term Durability: With proper care, implants can last decades or even a lifetime.
- Improved Confidence: Regain your smile and self-esteem with a permanent, natural solution.
