How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?
As the name of the treatment implies, All-on-4 involves the use of as few as four dental implants to support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth. Two of the implants are placed at the back of the jaw at an angle. The other two implants are placed at the front of the jaw. A provisional (temporary) denture gets attached to the implants immediately after they are inserted into the jawbone. Patients are thus able to arrive at our office with no teeth and leave with a complete smile! After a healing period of several months, a permanent All-on-4 denture in Greybull replaces the provisional one.
Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
Your dentist is the best person to determine whether you are a candidate for All-on-4 dental implants. They will be able to do so after a thorough exam. In general, candidates for this procedure:
- Have lost all or most of their teeth (or will soon need to have their natural teeth extracted)
- Do not wish to put up with the inconveniences of a traditional, non-implant denture
- Have adequate bone volume to support dental implants
- Are free of active gum disease and other conditions that might adversely affect their ability to heal after dental implant surgery
- Have excellent oral hygiene habits
What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Implants?
The All-on-4 treatment offers numerous benefits, including:
- All-on-4 dentures are incredibly stable and can enable you to eat most (if not all) of your favorite foods.
- Natural feel, function, and appearance. You will be able to speak, eat, and smile with confidence! We carefully design All-on-4 dentures to complement a patient’s natural facial characteristics.
- Streamlined treatment. The All-on-4 process is usually shorter, less invasive, and less expensive than traditional dental implant treatments.
- Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime. Your implant-supported denture is also likely to last for a long time.
All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants
As noted above, the All-on-4 process tends to be shorter and less invasive than traditional implant methods. That is because the precise placement of the implants often eliminates the need for a bone graft. Most patients require just one surgery as part of their All-on-4 journey. Of course, traditional dental implants also have their unique advantages. For example, they may offer even greater stability than All-on-4. Your dentist will help you compare all of your treatment options before you commit to anything.
