What is an All-on-4® Implant?

All-on-4® is a revolutionary dental procedure that replaces a full set of teeth using just 4 dental implants. This gives a solid foundation for a full arch prosthesis and restores the function and aesthetics of natural teeth. Dental implant posts play a crucial role in this procedure by supporting the dental prostheses and ensuring a natural-looking smile. Unlike dentures, all-on-4 are fixed in place permanently so no more discomfort and hassle of removable dentures. The procedure is minimally invasive and in most cases, no bone grafting is required. With proper care, all-on-4 can last a lifetime, a long-term solution for missing teeth.

All-on-4® implants use immediate loading, so you can leave the office with a new set of teeth on the same day as the surgery. This technique minimizes downtime and gives instant results, so you can get back to your daily activities with a natural-looking smile. Same-day dental implants offer the convenience of completing the implant process within a single visit. The 4 implants are placed in the jawbone to maximize support and stability even in cases of bone loss. This reduces the need for additional procedures like bone grafting and shortens the treatment time. You can eat your favorite food and smile with confidence knowing your new teeth are in place.

Benefits of All-on-4 Implants for a Natural-Looking Smile

All-on-4 implants have many advantages over dentures and other implant methods. They are a permanent solution for missing teeth, function, and aesthetics. Here are some of the benefits:
Immediate Results: With all-on-4® implants you can have a full set of teeth in one day. No waiting period for healing or extra appointments to place the final prosthesis. You can leave the office with a brand-new smile. The procedure is quick and cost-effective, even if one implant fails, it may necessitate redoing the entire set.

  • Stability and Comfort: Unlike removable dentures, all on 4 implants are fixed in place, very stable and comfortable. The four implants act as anchors, securing the prosthesis to the jawbone and preventing it from moving or slipping. This method can replace the entire upper set of teeth, providing a long-term alternative to traditional dentures.
  • Enhanced Appearance: All-on-4® implants restore your natural-looking smile, overall appearance, and confidence. The prosthesis is custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, so it looks seamless and natural.
  • Improved Oral Health: By replacing missing teeth with all-on-4® implants you can maintain the health of your jawbone and gums. The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving the structure of your face.
  • Convenience and Durability: All-on-4® implants are designed for long-term use, with proper care they can last a lifetime. Unlike dentures that need regular adjustments and replacements, all-on-4® implants are a durable and low-maintenance solution.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Although the initial cost of all on 4 implants may be more than dentures, they are cost-effective in the long run. Their durability and longevity mean you won’t need to replace or repair them as often, saving you money in the long run.

All-on-4 Implant Procedure at Maple Park Dental Care

At Maple Park Dental Care, we follow a strict protocol to ensure the success of your all-on-4® implants. Our experienced team uses technology and techniques recommended by the American Dental Association to give you the best care. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the all-on-4® implant procedure:

  1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our doctors will examine your mouth, teeth, and jawbone. We will discuss your dental history, goals, and any concerns you may have. This initial consultation helps us create a personalized treatment plan for you. A missing tooth can lead to bone shrinkage and shifting of surrounding teeth, making it important to address these issues promptly.
  2. Treatment Planning: Based on the findings from your initial consultation, we will develop a detailed treatment plan. This includes taking digital impressions and X-rays to assess the condition of your jawbone and determine the best placement of the implants. We will also go over the entire procedure, including the surgery date and what to expect during recovery.
  3. Implant Placement: On the day of the surgery, we will administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The four dental implants will then be placed in the jawbone, providing a base for the prosthesis. Our doctors use precise techniques to minimize discomfort and promote quick healing.
  4. Prosthesis Attachment: Once the implants are in place, a temporary prosthesis will be attached. This allows for immediate loading, so you can leave the office with a full set of teeth. The temporary prosthesis will be worn during the healing period, which is usually a few months.
  5. Final Prosthesis: After the healing period, when the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, you will come back to our office for the final prosthesis attachment. The permanent prosthesis is custom made to fit your mouth perfectly, for a natural look and comfortable fit. We will make any necessary adjustments to get you the desired results.
  6. Follow-Up Care: To ensure the longevity of your all-on-4® implants, we provide follow-up care. Regular check-ups and proper care are key to the health of your implants and surrounding tissues. We will guide you on the best practices for oral hygiene and implant maintenance.
