If you’ve done any research into dental implants, you may presume that it takes months to replace a missing tooth. In some cases, this is true. But how would you feel if you could have brand new teeth in just one day? With All-on-4, this is a distinct possibility.
About All-on-4
All-on-4 is a same-day dental implant treatment, which offers a solution for patients who are in a hurry to replace missing teeth. All-on-4 treatment is different to traditional implant treatment because it uses just four implants to secure a full arch of teeth. The implants take on the role of the tooth root, and when combined with a new tooth or a set of prosthetic teeth, they can restore your smile to its former glory. Traditionally, a full arch of new teeth requires 6-10 standard implants. All-on-4 takes advantage of the strongest bone tissue in the jaw to minimise treatment time. The back implants are also positioned at a 45-degree angle, rather than at 90 degrees, as with traditional implants.
Normally, implant treatment takes months, as it takes time for the implants to integrate into the jawbone. With All-on-4, we fit the implants and the new teeth on the same day. This way, you don’t have to wait around to enjoy your new smile.
What are the advantages?
The speed of treatment is perhaps the most obvious advantage. Instead of waiting for months for your new teeth, you can start enjoying the benefits immediately. If you’ve had dentures in the past, you’ll also find that All-on-4 offers superior stability, and improved aesthetics. With implants in place, there’s no risk of the denture slipping, and you should find it much more comfortable. You can also enjoy complete peace of mind when you’re eating, and you’ll be able to enjoy a wider range of foods.
