Implant Dentures – All-on-4

All-on-4® is a full-mouth reconstruction procedure specifically developed for patients who lack sufficient jawbone for traditional dental implants. Previously, those with inadequate jawbone had only two options: conventional dentures or bone grafting. However, All-on-4® offers an implant-based solution without the need for a bone graft.

Why Use All-on-4®?

All-on-4® offers several benefits over traditional dental implant solutions, including:

• Higher quality: The implants used with All-on-4® are designed specifically for patients with less jawbone.
• Lower cost: Eliminating the need for bone grafts reduces the cost of the procedure by 50%.
• Less time: With All-on-4®, no bone grafts are required, shortening the time from start to finish.
• Better esthetics and function: Many patients can leave the office with their initial set of “healing dentures” on the same day as implant placement.

If you’re experiencing discomfort due to loose dentures or finding it difficult to adjust to life without teeth, the All-on-4® system can provide significant relief. Our team at Tahquitz Dental Group is dedicated to helping you through this life-changing procedure.

The All-on-4® Procedure

All-on-4 uses four implants precisely placed in the upper or lower jaw to support fixed dentures. Instead of replacing your teeth individually, each set of All-on-4 replaces an arch of teeth. Your dentist at the Tahquitz Dental Group determines the best location for your implants. It’s precise work — we need to know where your jawbone is strongest. The procedure includes determining what size and design of dental prosthetics will best suit your mouth. The structure of your smile is also taken into consideration, including the state of your existing teeth and gums.

Once installed, your dentist puts your implants through a series of tests to make sure they will withstand the forces of chewing and biting. To ensure the implants fuse with your bone, your dental team provides special “healing dentures” to protect the implants. Within three months, the implants are permanently part of your upper and lower jaws, and then your dental team installs your permanent dentures to make your new smile complete!

The Full Measure of All-on-4

All-on-4 dental implants are quickly becoming just as popular as regular dental implants. While both are effective options for replacing missing teeth, All-on-4 is a comprehensive alternative for use in restorative dentistry. All-on-4 provides a permanent, natural-looking solution to improve your oral health and quality of life.
