Get New Teeth in a Day With All-On-4 Dental Implants

Experiencing significant tooth loss can be a source of embarrassment and the cause of problems with eating, talking, and smiling. And yet it affects over 30 million Americans and is a common issue associated with aging. While past generations have had to grapple with full sets of dentures, which can cause inconvenience and discomfort, recent dental technology has given us the option of full dental implants—a procedure that can grant you a new set of highly functioning, long-term teeth in just one day.

What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?

Dental implant technology has revolutionized tooth replacement in recent years. Instead of a bridge and crown, oral surgeons can now insert a metal implant, which serves as replacement tooth root, directly into the jaw bone, anchoring a foundation onto which a crown can be secured.

With All-on-4 dental implants, four separate metal implants are secured in consistent intervals along a patient’s arch, creating four foundations on which the surgeon secures a full set of replacement teeth. These teeth look, feel, and function just like a regular set of teeth, so you can put your worries away about the issues that come with dentures. They can also last a lifetime with proper care.  

The best part? The majority of the procedure takes place in just one day.

All-on-4 Dental Implants Compared To Dentures

Before All-on-4 dental implants were developed, many people facing significant tooth loss, or the loss of all of their teeth, were forced to either get a set of dentures or to go without a replacement for their teeth.

While dentures may be the right choice for some patients experiencing significant tooth loss, many others may benefit more from the All-on-4 solution.

Here are just a few of the major benefits of All-on-4 dental implants over dentures:

• All-on-4 teeth are cleaned like your natural set of teeth—they don’t have to be removed, maintained, or cleaned in a special way.
• All-on-4 teeth are secured permanently to your jaw line so that they won’t rub, fall out, or cause discomfort
• All-on-4 teeth allow you to eat anything you’d like and you do not have to restrict your diet for any reason related to your teeth.
• All-on-4 teeth are secured to your jawbone, where they strengthen your jaw and mouth instead of weakening these areas like dentures may. All-on-4 can keep your jaw and face looking youthful instead of causing bone loss and deterioration.
• All-on-4 teeth can last a lifetime if you care for them properly.

All-on-4 Dental Implants Compared To Traditional Dental Implants

In addition to dentures and All-on-4, some patients opt for traditional implants, in which individual crowns are secured onto individual posts in the mouth. While this is a great solution for those missing a few individual teeth, it may not be the optimal choice for those with significant tooth loss on one or more options.

Here are the benefits of All-on-4 dental implants over individual implants:

• The main procedure of All-on-4 implants are achieved in a day, whereas individual implants must take place over multiple appointments over a longer period of time.
• The healing process for All-on-4 implants is shorter.
• All-on-4 implants minimize the need for bone grafting.
• All-on-4 implants are often more economical than multiple individual implants.
