All-on-4 by Nobel Biocare in Georgia

Overview of All-on-4 Implants

All-on-4 dental implants are a permanent treatment that involves surgically attaching implants into your jaw. In addition to instantly restoring your smile, the implants are fixed into place, and they function, look, and feel the same as your real teeth.

What Is the Procedure for All-on-4 Implants?

The procedure for All-on-4 dentures involves the permanent placement of four dental implants that are attached to either a full bridge or denture. It can be attached to your upper jaw, lower, jaw, or both. To ensure your comfort, light sedation is used during the procedure. Then, your All-on-4 dentist inserts four screws into your jawbone, two near the front of your mouth and two others towards the back of your mouth. The two implants placed in the back are tilted at an angle, this allows them to provide added support to your existing bone. Because of this, bone graft surgery isn't necessary for most patients.

The posts are composed of titanium, which is fully compatible with bone, prompting the healing process. A temporary denture will be placed while your gums and jaw are healing. Once you're fully healed, you'll return to our office. At this point, with your implants firmly in place, your dentist can attach your permanent denture. The denture is custom-made at a dental laboratory. By custom making the denture, we can ensure a perfect fit and improved comfort!

In some cases, it may be possible to receive All-on-4 implants in just one appointment. Contact us to learn more about our teeth-in-a-day service.

What Takes Place Before and After the Procedure?

If you're thinking about receiving this procedure, considering the All-on-4 before and after steps is important. Before treatment begins, our dentist will perform a thorough examination of your mouth. If you have any dental health problems that require treatment, they will be addressed before beginning All-on-4 treatment.

After completing the first step of treatment, your dentist will give you detailed instructions that will help promote the healing of your gums and jaw. These instructions must be followed carefully so you don't develop an infection. After the denture has been attached, you can immediately resume your normal oral hygiene habits.

What Does the All-on-4 Procedure Cost?

There isn't a set price for All-on-4 implants, and the cost can vary from person to person. However, many patients find All-on-4 implants to be a cost-effective solution to improving their smile since treatment typically requires fewer implants and is much less invasive compared to other treatments. Your dentist will provide an estimate of your All-on-4 dental implants cost when you come into our office. Make your appointment today.

All-on-4 vs Traditional Implants: What Is the Difference?

The primary differences between these two treatment options are the number of dental implants you receive and whether bone grafting surgery is needed. With traditional implants, up to 10 dental implants per dental arch is usually needed; however, All-on-4 dental implants can replace missing teeth with only four implants per dental arch. Also, since there isn't enough bone available to place the implants, bone grafting is needed before receiving traditional implants. All-on-4 implants make this invasive procedure and its long recovery unnecessary since it can be successfully performed even if you've lost bone density in your jaw.

What Are the Differences Between All-on-4 and Traditional Dentures?

All-on-4 implants offer many advantages in comparison to dentures. Traditional dentures can cause an unstable and uncomfortable fit because they sit on top of your gums. It can also be time-consuming to clean and care for traditional dentures since they need to be removed. Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 dentures fit securely because they're attached to posts that are inserted into your jaw, so you don't have to worry about them slipping or moving out of place. In addition, All-on-4 can also help you maintain the shape of your face because they help preserve bone mass in your jaw. They're also very easy to clean and take care of since they're just like your natural teeth.
