How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?

During your All-on-4 surgery, we insert two dental implants toward the front of your jaw and two near the back at an angle. This strategic placement strategy utilizes places in the jawbone that are naturally strong and thick. Not only does this provide a sturdy base for the denture that will go on top of the implants, but it also reduces that chance that a bone graft will be necessary.

Once the implants are in place, we immediately attach a provisional denture to them. You can literally arrive in our office with no teeth and leave with a complete smile. Later, after your mouth has healed adequately, you will return to our office to get your permanent All-on-4 denture.

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

When you come in for your consultation, we will assess your oral health and determine whether All-on-4 is right for you. In general, candidates for this procedure:

• Have lost all or most of their teeth throughout one or both dental arches.
• Have decent oral and overall health.
• Have adequate bone density in their jaw to support dental implants in Branford. Due to the careful implant placement involved in All-on-4, most patients meet this criterion even without a bone graft.
• Stick to good oral hygiene habits.
• Are looking for a stronger and longer lasting alternative to traditional dentures.

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

Some of the top benefits of All-on-4 include:

• All-on-4 dentures tend to last much longer than traditional dentures.
• You can expect to enjoy a strong bite force that can stand up to almost any type of food.
• Because All-on-4 dentures are permanently fixed in the mouth, you can care for them almost exactly like you would care for natural teeth.
• Jawbone preservation. Dental implants help to prevent the jawbone deterioration that is a normal consequence of tooth loss.
• Attractive aesthetics. We carefully design All-on-4 dentures with the goal of making them look as natural as possible.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants

In general, the All-on-4 treatment is faster and less costly than traditional implant-based full arch tooth replacement options. It is also less invasive because it typically involves just one surgery rather than two or more. Many people choose it because it allows you to enjoy a new set of teeth on the same day that you get dental implants, which is not always an option with traditional procedures.

Of course, there are situations in which traditional dental implants are the better option. Your implant dentist in Branford will help you compare the pros and cons of all your treatment choices before you commit to anything.
