Many of us would have heard about conventional dental implants that are used to replace single missing teeth. They are often the first choice recommended by dentists when you wish to get your extracted tooth replaced. But, not many know about all-on-4 implants. They are tooth restorations used to replace all the teeth in a dental ridge in one go, making them worthy alternatives for prosthetic dentures. Here’s a brief read about all-on-4 and the various benefits they offer.
When you visit us for the initial consultation, the dentist will screen your mouth to understand your candidacy for all-on-4. Panoramic scans and x-rays of the mouth will be taken and studied extensively before we proceed with further treatment. Next, if we have to remove any existing teeth, we will do so before starting the implantation. The data from the scans will be used to fabricate the prosthetic teeth, which will be done in a very short time span with the help of CEREC.
The dentist will carefully place four implants in your jawbone at predetermined positions to ensure the prostheses are held firmly. Once the implants are in place, the dentist will place the ceramic teeth on them and secure them using dental adhesives. A bite test will be carried out to ensure your natural bite doesn’t alter and you feel comfortable with the prosthetic teeth.
Please reach out to us to schedule a consultation with our dentist, and we’ll guide you further. Please call us at (602) 775-5656 or reach us through online consultation.
