If any dentist has ever stated that you are not a good prospect for implants or a full mouth rehabilitation, then the All-on-4® aligner technique is especially founded for you! A serious catch-22 experienced by many women and men is that they have no teeth or very poor teeth due to jawbone loss. The only way you can install dental implants is with a lot of good bone! Now the Placerville Dental Group offers you an established cure to this complication.
The All-on-4® Resolution
All-on-4® offers a number of advantages not available with traditional implant therapy. For example, All-on-4® is:
- Higher Quality — The implants applied with All-on-4® are specifically engineered for customers with minimal jawbone
- Lesser Budget — 50% of the cost for dental implants comes from the need for jawbone grafts. Eliminating bone grafts while safely relying on other bone lessens cost.
- Less Time — Bone grafts must heal and harden before implant treatments can begin, prolonging the time from start to finish. With All-on-4®, no jawbone grafts are needed.
- Superior Attractiveness — Most patients are prepared to leave our office with their first set of “healing dentures” on the same day we attach their implants.
Utilizing All-on-4® lets more women and men benefit from the life-adjusting benefits of dental implants. And to add more confidence, the entire All-on-4® line of products is made by Nobel Biocare, a Scandinavian company that was the initial company to market dental implants for use around the globe.
The All-on-4® Procedure
What Are Your Objectives?
First, we want to understand what your goals are for a full mouth rehabilitation. Are you satisfied with your lower or upper jaw and only need to replace one arch? Do both arches need reconstruction? Do you have any medical, physical, or behavioral issues that determine the choices we make to create the finest possible outcome? Do you want permanently fixed artificial teeth or “snap-in” artificial teeth that are removable for flossing and brushing?
Where to Place Your Dental Implants?
After deciding on your goals, we then progress to the question of where to place your dental implants. Placing dental implants is meticulous work. Our dentist needs to know exactly how much bone you have and where the bones are solid. The length and location of the dental implants are chosen by taking scans and x-rays of the mouth and the surrounding bone system. All-on-4® provides many sizes of implants and designs of dental prosthetics based on your personal needs.
The All-on-4® Implant Treatment
Digital studies about your gumline, jaw, and bone structure are used to develop guides that assist the dentist to place the dental implants exactly. Certain tooth extractions may be essential, and revisions may be done to your gumline for cosmetic reasons. The dental implants are all placed at the same time. For the majority of patients, after verifying the strength of the implants’ connection to the jawbone, short-term “healing dentures” are screwed into position on the dental implants, so you can depart our dental office with a full set of teeth on the same day as your procedure.
Completing Your Treatment
After a recovery period of 2-3 months, the dental implants have fused with your jawbone and can sustain the forces generated by chewing with standard dentures. Throughout that time, your custom dentures were created according to your specifications. After you return, we remove the recuperation dentures and attach the long-lasting dentures. If they are the detachable style, we make sure you can take them off easily before leaving our clinic.
With your brand-new complete collection of teeth, you can return to eating the meals you like, to communicating normally, to singing, and to laughing with self-esteem! The dental implants reinforce your jaw and ensure the remaining bone. Your appearance and confidence improve, and an important aspect of your life appears normal again!
