An innovative solution designed to provide a full-arch replacement with just four implants
At Smiley Implants, we are proud to offer the All-on-4 dental implant system, an innovative solution designed to provide a full-arch replacement with just four implants. This state-of-the-art procedure restores your smile and improves oral function, offering a permanent and stable alternative to traditional dentures.
What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
The All-on-4 dental implant system is a method used to replace an entire arch of missing teeth with a fixed, full-arch prosthesis. This system uses only four strategically placed implants to support a complete set of upper or lower teeth, providing a secure and long-lasting foundation.
Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
- Full-Arch Restoration: All-on-4 allows for the replacement of an entire set of teeth in one procedure, offering a complete smile makeover.
- Stability and Security: The fixed nature of the All-on-4 prosthesis means no slipping or movement, unlike traditional dentures.
- Bone Preservation: The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
- Immediate Results: Patients can often receive a temporary prosthesis on the same day as the implant surgery, leaving the office with a new smile.
- Improved Functionality: Enjoy a diverse diet and speak confidently with the stability and strength provided by the All-on-4 system.
- Reduced Treatment Time: With only four implants needed per arch, the procedure is less invasive and requires fewer appointments compared to traditional implant methods.
- Cost-Effective: The All-on-4 system is typically more affordable than placing individual implants for each missing tooth.
The All-on-4 Procedure
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we will conduct a comprehensive examination, including X-rays and digital scans, to evaluate your oral health and develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Treatment Planning: Using advanced imaging technology, we precisely plan the placement of the four implants to ensure optimal support and stability for the prosthesis.
- Implant Placement: The four implants are surgically placed into the jawbone at specific angles to maximize contact with the bone and provide a strong foundation. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia for your comfort.
- Immediate Prosthesis: In many cases, a temporary prosthesis is attached to the implants on the same day, allowing you to leave the office with a functional set of teeth while your implants heal.
- Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants will integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a solid base for the permanent prosthesis.
- Final Prosthesis: Once the implants have fully integrated, a custom-made, permanent prosthesis is fabricated and securely attached to the implants. This prosthesis is designed to match your natural teeth in appearance and function.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to ensure the implants and prosthesis are functioning correctly and to maintain your overall oral health.
Caring for Your All-on-4 Implants
To ensure the longevity and health of your All-on-4 dental implants, follow these care guidelines:
- Daily Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to keep the implants and surrounding gum tissue clean and healthy.
- Routine Dental Visits: Schedule regular check-ups and professional cleanings to monitor the health of your implants and overall oral health.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Avoid smoking and limit consumption of hard and sticky foods that can damage the implants or prosthesis.
