How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?

Dental implants in Woodbridge are small, screw-like cylinders that we insert into the jawbone so they can support prosthetic teeth. During the All-on-4 procedure, we place two implants toward the front of the jaw and two toward the back at an angle. This strategic placement technique utilizes areas of the jawbone that are naturally strong and thick, which reduces the chance that a bone graft will be necessary.

Immediately after the implants are in place, we secure a temporary denture on top of them. Later, after a healing period, you will receive a permanent new set of teeth.

Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?

The best way to find out if you are a candidate for All-on-4 is to schedule a consultation with your implant dentist in Woodbridge. In general, patients should:

• Be free of gum disease and other oral health conditions that could interfere with the implants’ success
• Be well enough to recover from minor surgery
• Be determined to stick to excellent oral hygiene habits
• Have adequate bone density to support dental implants (most patients meet this criterion even without a bone graft)

The majority of patients do qualify for All-on-4, either right away or after some preparatory treatments.

What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Implants?

Some of the most outstanding benefits of All-on-4 include:

• All-on-4 dentures are strong enough to stand up to virtually any food.
• Jawbone preservation. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone and help to prevent the deterioration that normally occurs after tooth loss. This can allow your face to maintain its natural, youthful shape.
• An All-on-4 denture is permanently attached to the implants that support it, so you can care for it almost exactly like you would care for natural teeth.
• We carefully design All-on-4 dentures with the goal of making them as lifelike as possible.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants

All-on-4 is generally faster, less costly, and less invasive than traditional implant procedures. Many patients love that there is no waiting period between the implant surgery and placement of a provisional restoration. Additionally, because All-on-4 usually requires just one surgery instead of two or more, it comes with less total recovery time than most traditional procedures.

Of course, there are some instances where traditional treatment is preferrable. For example, placing more implants could provide the highest level of strength possible to your new teeth. Our team will help you compare the pros and cons of all your tooth replacement options before you decide how to move forward.
