All-on-4® is a complete treatment specifically created for clients without enough bone for standard dental implants. Before, if a patient had not enough jawbone remaining for implants, they only had two choices: common dentures or a jawbone graft treatment. All-on-4® presents the option for dental implants without necessitating a jawbone graft.
The All-on-4® Remedy
All-on-4® offers a variety of benefits that are not available with conventional implants procedures. For example, All-on-4® is:
- Lower Expense — 50% the cost of dental implants usually comes from the need for bone grafting. Eliminating bone grafts decreases the price of the All-on-4® treatment.
- Higher Quality — If you don’t suffer jawbone grafts, you require better implants that can still fasten securely to remaining jawbone. All-on-4® implants were especially created for this task.
- Less Time — All-on-4® eliminates the healing time involved for bone grafts and quickly gives an operational, healthy connection to the jawbone for the majority of patients.
- Finer Esthetics — By installing teeth on the same day of the treatment, All-on-4® starts improving patient esteem right away!
So, if you are tired of broken dentures or have labored to confront life without teeth, the All-on-4® process is founded to aid you and the Placerville Dental Group is ready to help with this life-altering procedure.
The All-on-4® Procedure
What Are Your Goals?
Initially, we need to know what your objectives are for a full mouth reconstruction. Are you satisfied with your upper or lower jaw and just need to change one arch? Do both arches need modification? Do you have any medical, behavioral, or physical issues that affect the selections we make to create the most anxiety free possible result? Do you desire permanently secured dentures or “snap-in” artificial teeth that are removable for brushing your teeth?
Where to Place Your Implants?
Once your objectives have been considered, the next step is to consider the placement of your implants. The process of attaching implants demands a significant deal of skill. To assist with this, scans and x-rays are obtained to diagnose the essential bone profile that we use to attach your dental implants. Based on the remaining jawbone, we select the type of All-on-4® procedure necessary and the dental implants recommended to guarantee success.
The All-on-4® Implant Treatment
We also consider your smile. Thorough satisfaction is our plan, and that means developing a useful dental implant that works correctly and looks remarkable to you and others! Based on the profile of your upper and lower jaws, the way you smile, and the preferred length of your gums and teeth, some cosmetic modifications on your gums may be required during the procedure.
Attaching the dental implants
After finishing our complete planning step, you return to the office for the attachment of your implants. Any cosmetic changes to the gums are also completed at this time. The dental implants are tested at the time of application. If they can bear the expected forces from chewing, we apply a set of “healing dentures” on the implants. These are fixed, short-term dentures that minimize the forces placed on your dental implants.
Finalizing Your Treatment
Two to three months later, when the implants have merged with your bone, we install the long-term dentures and your All-on-4® procedure is over. You depart with a fully capable set of teeth that return your ability to speak, sing, eat, and live the manner in which you want!
