If any doctor has ever told you that you are not a good prospect for implants or a full mouth restoration, then the All-on-4® technology is specifically established for you! A chronic challenge suffered by many men and women is that they have no teeth or very poor teeth due to bone decay. The only way you can attach dental implants is with a lot of strong jawbone! Now the Placerville Dental Group provides you with a proven solution to this problem.
Why Use All-on-4®?
In the past, the only remedy for a lack of jawbone was appending more bone with grafting. Albeit bone grafting has advantages, it also increases expense and requires more time for recovery. The All-on-4® remedy to the bone grafting difficulty was started over 30 years ago in Portugal. Research, exploring and development, followed by decades of scientific study around the world, led to readily obvious proof of the following advantages that come from All-on-4®:
- Lower Cost — Half the price of dental implants typically comes from the need for jawbone grafting. Eliminating jawbone grafts reduces the price of the All-on-4® procedure.
- Heightened Quality — If you do not suffer bone grafts, you need finer dental implants that can still fasten snugly to accessible bone. All-on-4® implants were solely created for this job.
- Less Time — All-on-4® eliminates the recuperation time involved for bone grafts and right away offers a functioning, healthy bond to the jawbones for most patients.
- Superior Esthetics — By providing teeth on the same day of the treatment, All-on-4® begins building patient self-confidence right away!
Utilizing All-on-4® lets more adults benefit from the life-adjusting improvements of dental implants. And to give additional trust, the entire All-on-4® line of products is created by Nobel Biocare, a Scandinavian company that was the initial company to distribute dental implants for use around the Earth.
The All-on-4® Procedure
What Are Your Goals?
Only 4 implants are required to replace the teeth on the mandibular and maxillary arch of the jawbone, thus the name All-on-4®. During your first consultation for All-on-4®, our Placerville dentist presents your options. For example, do you prefer permanently attached dentures, or the kind that snap-off and on the dental implants? What appearance and color would you need for the teeth? What is your medical history and how will it determine your procedure? Are you employing All-on-4® for both the maxillary and mandibular arch, or just one?
Determining Implant Placement
Once your plans have been discussed, the next stage is to consider the placement of your dental implants. The system of affixing implants necessitates a great deal of precision. To aid with this, x-rays and scans are completed to uncover the crucial bone structure that we use to affix your dental implants. Based on the available jawbone, we decide the kind of All-on-4® treatment needed and the implants recommended to make sure the procedure is a success.
How to Design the Precise Smile
We also factor in your smile. Absolute satisfaction is our focus, and that means designing a practical implant that works properly and looks great to you and others! Based on the shape of your lower and upper jaws, the manner in which you smile, and the right length of your teeth and gums, some cosmetic adjustments on your gums may be needed during the treatment.
Installing the dental implants
After completing our careful planning stage, we bring you back to the office for the application of your dental implants. Any cosmetic adjustments to the gums are also performed at this time. The dental implants are tested at the time of application. If they can hold the expected tension from chewing, we attach a set of “healing dentures” on the implants. These are attached, temporary dentures that reduce the forces placed on your implants.
Finishing Your Procedure
After a recuperation period of two to three months, the dental implants have fused with your jawbone and can sustain the forces created by eating with standard dentures. Over that time, your custom dentures were produced aligning with your specifications. When you return, we detach the recuperation dentures and apply the permanent dentures. If they are the detachable form, we make certain you can remove them effortlessly before leaving our practice.
With your brand-new, beautiful, complete collection of teeth, you can return to eating the foods you like, to talking normally, to singing, and to laughing with self-confidence! The dental implants strengthen your jaw and ensure the remaining bone. Your appearance and confidence increase, and an essential part of your life appears comfortable again!
