Dental Implant All-On-4®
Dental Implant All-on-4®: A Life-Changing Solution for Tooth Loss
If you’ve been struggling with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures, the dental implant All-on-4® solution could be exactly what you need. This innovative treatment offers a stable, long-term solution that can restore your smile and give you back the confidence to eat, speak, and live life to the fullest.
The All-on-4® technique uses four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth. The procedure can often be completed in just one day, making it an efficient and highly effective solution for those with significant tooth loss or severe dental issues.
With Dr. Bruce Smoler's expertise and cutting-edge technology, you can rest assured that your treatment will be tailored to your specific needs.
What Are All-on-4® Dental Implants?
The All-on-4® dental implant procedure is designed for individuals who have lost most or all their teeth in one or both jaws.
Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort, this advanced treatment offers a permanent, secure solution that feels and functions like natural teeth. A full set of replacement teeth is anchored to the jaw using just four implants, providing unparalleled stability and support.
Dental implant All-on-4® is especially good for patients with low bone density who can't have regular dental implants, as the restorations are placed at an angle to touch as much bone as possible.
As a result, patients who couldn't get implants before might now be able to have the All-on-4® dental implant procedure.
The Benefits of Dental Implant All-on-4®
- Immediate results: One of the most significant advantages of All-on-4® implants is that the procedure can often be completed in just one visit. You’ll leave the office with a brand-new set of teeth, ready to smile confidently and enjoy your favorite foods without delay.
- Long-lasting solution: Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. The implants fuse with your jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth.
- Improved comfort: Since the implants are anchored to your jaw, you won’t have to worry about your teeth slipping or causing irritation, which is common with traditional dentures.
- Natural appearance: All-on-4® implants are custom-made to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. Therefore, your new smile will look as realistic and beautiful as possible.
- Bone preservation: Tooth loss can lead to bone deterioration in the jaw over time. Dental implants stimulate the bone, helping to maintain its density and prevent further bone loss.
The Dental Implant All-on-4® Procedure
When you come to Smoler Smiles for your All-on-4® treatment, you can expect a comprehensive and personalized approach:
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, Dr. Smoler and his team will perform a thorough examination of your mouth, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to determine whether you’re a candidate for All-on-4® implants. We’ll also discuss your goals and answer any questions you have about the procedure.
- Treatment Plan: Once we’ve determined that All-on-4® dental implants are right for you, we’ll create a customized treatment. The plan will outline the exact placement of the implants, the number of teeth being replaced, and any additional measures that may be needed to ensure the best outcome.
- Implant Placement: On the day of your procedure, we’ll start by administering local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. Dr. Smoler will then place the four implants in your jaw, with two at the front and two angled implants at the back. These will serve as the foundation for your new teeth.
- Temporary Teeth: In most cases, you’ll receive a set of temporary teeth on the same day as your implant surgery. They will allow you to eat, speak, and smile confidently while your permanent teeth are fabricated.
- Permanent Restoration: After a healing period, during which the implants fuse with your jawbone, you’ll return to our office to receive your custom-made, permanent set of replacement teeth. These will be attached to the implants, providing a comfortable, natural-looking solution.
Aftercare and Recovery
After your All-on-4® procedure, you may experience some swelling and discomfort, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
It's also important to follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions closely to ensure proper healing. You’ll be advised to maintain a soft diet for the first few days while your mouth heals.
Long-term care is simple: brush and floss your new teeth just like you would your natural teeth, and schedule regular check-ups to ensure your implants remain in excellent condition.
