If any doctor has ever stated that you are not a good candidate for dental implants or a full mouth restoration, then the All-on-4® aligner technique is especially established for you! A serious challenge suffered by many people is that they have no teeth or very poor teeth due to jawbone decay. The only way you can affix implants is with considerable secure bone! Now the Yuba City Dentistry Group gives you a real answer to this problem.
Why Use All-on-4®?
Previously, the only remedy for a loss of jawbone was appending more bone with grafting. Albeit bone grafting has advantages, it also adds cost and needs more time for recovery. The All-on-4® cure to the jawbone grafting challenge was started over 30 years ago in Portugal. Investigation, testing and creation, followed by years of study around the Earth, led to quite clear validation of the following advantages that come from All-on-4®:
- Lower Budget — 50% the price of dental implants usually comes from the requirement for bone grafting. Eliminating jawbone grafts lessens the price of the All-on-4® procedure.
- Better Caliber — If you do not suffer jawbone grafts, you demand better implants that can still fasten snugly to the available jawbone. All-on-4® implants were specially established for this task.
- Minimal Time — All-on-4® eliminates the recovery time involved for bone grafts and promptly offers an operational, secure attachment to the jaws for most patients.
- Better Esthetics — By installing teeth on the same day of the treatment, All-on-4® starts reviving patient self-confidence promptly!
So, if you are done with broken dentures or have labored to confront life without teeth, the All-on-4® method is engineered to aid you and the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to help with this life-adjusting treatment.
The All-on-4® Procedure
What Are Your Goals?
First, we want to understand what your objectives are for a full mouth restoration. Are you pleased with your upper or lower jaw and just need to replace one arch? Do both arches need restoration? Do you have any medical, physical, or behavioral issues that determine the choices we make to create the most anxiety free possible result? Do you desire permanently secured dentures or “snap-in” artificial teeth that are detachable for brushing and flossing?
Where to Place Your Dental Implants?
After determining your goals, we then advance to the consideration of where to locate your implants. Placing implants is exact work. Our dentist needs to know perfectly how much bone you have and where the bones are solid. The length and location of the implants are chosen by taking x-rays and scans of the mouth and the surrounding bone scaffold. All-on-4® provides many sizes of dental implants and designs of dental prosthetics based on your personal needs.
How to Design the Precise Smile
Digital information about your jaw, gumline, and bone structure is used to develop guides that help the dentist to place the dental implants exactly. Some tooth extractions may be required, and revisions might be made to your gumline for cosmetic reasons. The dental implants are all attached at the same time. For most patients, after confirming the durability of the implants’ connection to the bone, short-term “healing dentures” are screwed in place on the implants, so you can leave our dental office with a full set of teeth on the same day as your procedure.
Finalizing Your Treatment
After a mending period of two to three months, the implants have integrated with your jawbone and can sustain the forces produced by eating with standard dentures. Over that time, your tailor-made dentures were created conforming to your specifications. When you return, we remove the mending dentures and apply the permanent dentures. If they are the removable type, we make sure you can detach them quickly before leaving our practice.
With your brand-new, complete group of teeth, you can return to experiencing the foods you like, to communicating normally, to singing, and to laughing with self-confidence! The implants strengthen your jaw and maintain the remaining bone. Your self-confidence and appearance improve, and a critical aspect of your life appears normal again!
