What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are a revolutionary treatment designed to replace a full arch of teeth using just four dental implants. Traditional dental implants often require one implant per tooth, but All-on-4 allows for a full set of upper or lower teeth to be secured with only four precisely placed implants.
The All-on-4 implant system takes advantage of the patient’s existing bone structure, with the placement of the implants allowing for optimal support for the prosthetic teeth. Dentists often recommend this for patients who have limited jawbone density, as it allows them to receive implant-supported teeth with no additional bone grafting procedures.
All-On-4 Dental Implant Benefits
Natural Look and Feel
One of the most noted benefits of All-on-4 dental implants is that the custom-designed prosthetic teeth used in the All-on-4 procedure are carefully crafted to resemble your natural teeth in both appearance and function. They allow you to eat, speak, and smile confidently without worrying about shifting or discomfort.
Permanent, Fixed Solution
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 dental implants are permanently fixed in place, meaning they won’t slip or need to be taken out for cleaning. This permanent solution offers the convenience and stability that traditional dentures cannot match.
Fast Results
One of the most appealing aspects of All-on-4 implants is that many patients can receive their new teeth in a single day. While the implants will still require time to fully integrate with the jawbone, temporary teeth are typically attached right after surgery, so you can walk out of the office with a complete smile.
Fewer Implants, Less Surgery
All-on-4 implants require just four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth. This means less surgery, fewer implants, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional methods that might require up to eight implants per arch.
Improved Oral Health
By replacing missing teeth with All-on-4 dental implants, you can help prevent further bone loss and preserve the structure of your jaw. Additionally, implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to maintain its density over time.
Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are an excellent option for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, or those who have teeth that are failing and need to be replaced. However, certain factors can affect candidacy, such as:
Jawbone Density: Although All-on-4 requires less bone than traditional implants, patients must still have sufficient jawbone density to support the implants.
Overall Health: Candidates should be in good general health and free from any conditions that could interfere with healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or gum disease.
Non-smokers: Smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of implant failure, so it’s best if patients are non-smokers or willing to quit before the surgical procedure.
At Vero Dental Spa, Dr. Royal will assess your specific situation during your consultation to determine if All-on-4 dental implants are the right solution for you. To schedule an appointment, contact our Vero Beach dental office at (772) 778-5550.
The All-on-4 Dental Implant Surgery at Vero Dental Spa
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with our skilled implant dentist in Vero Beach. During this visit, we’ll discuss your dental health, medical history, and expectations. We’ll also take detailed X-rays and 3D scans to determine whether you’re a good candidate for All-on-4 dental implants.
Treatment Planning
Once we’ve assessed your oral health, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This will include determining the ideal placement for your implants and mapping out the steps of the procedure.
Implant Placement
On the day of the procedure, the dental implants will be surgically inserted into the jawbone. Our skilled Vero Beach dentist will carefully place only four implants at specific angles to ensure optimal stability and support for your new teeth. In most cases, temporary teeth will be attached on the same day, so you can leave the office with a new smile.
Healing and Osseointegration
After the implants are placed, the healing process begins. Over the next few months, the implants will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation for your permanent teeth.
Final Restoration
Once the healing is complete, we’ll place your custom-made permanent teeth. These prosthetics are designed to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, giving you a durable and long-lasting smile.
All-on-4 Dental Implant Costs
On average, the cost of an All-on-4 dental implant procedure can range from $20,000 to $50,000 per arch. However, this cost can be lower than traditional implant placement, as fewer implants are required. You can discuss the cost of the procedure with our dentist during the initial consultation. They can provide you with an estimate and discuss any financing options that may be available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do All-on-4 dental implants last?
All-on-4 dental implants can last a lifetime when cared for properly. Patients should maintain a good oral hygiene routine, attend regular dental checkups and cleanings, and avoid habits that can damage the implants, such as smoking or biting hard objects.
Is the All-on-4 dental implant process painful?
The All-on-4 dental implant procedure is a surgery typically performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, so patients shouldn’t feel any pain. Some may experience mild discomfort and swelling for a few days after implant surgery, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and cold compresses.
Can I eat and speak normally with All-on-4 dental implants?
Yes. Since All-on-4 dental implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth, patients can eat and speak normally. However, it may take some time for patients to adjust to life with their new teeth, and speech therapy may be recommended in certain cases.
Are All-on-4 implants worth it?
The All-on-4 procedure is often considered worth it for those who want a permanent solution to replace their missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort, All-on-4 implants are securely anchored in the bone and don’t require adhesives. They also offer greater stability and can improve your ability to speak and eat.
