All-on-4® is a full treatment especially engineered for patients without enough bone for standard dental implants. Before, if a patient had no sufficient bone remaining for dental implants, they only had two choices: ordinary dentures or a jawbone graft treatment. All-on-4® presents patients in Corning the alternative for implants without necessitating a jawbone graft.
Why Use All-on-4®?
All-on-4® offers a number of advantages not found with conventional dental implant procedures. For instance, All-on-4® is:
- Lesser Expense — Half the budget of dental implants usually comes from the demand for jawbone grafting. Eliminating bone grafts decreases the cost of the All-on-4® treatment.
- Heightened Standard — If you don’t undergo jawbone grafts, you require better implants that can still affix properly to accessible bone. All-on-4® implants were only engineered for this job.
- Minimal Time — All-on-4® eliminates the mending time involved for bone grafts and right away offers a functioning, solid attachment to the jawbone for most patients.
- Superior Esthetics — By placing teeth on the same day of the treatment, All-on-4® starts improving patient confidence immediately!
So, if you’re worn out with loose dentures or have struggled to face life without teeth, the All-on-4® technique is established to help you and the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to assist you with this life-altering procedure.
The All-on-4® Process
Your Initial All-on-4® Consult
First, we want to understand what your plans are for a full mouth reconstruction. Are you pleased with your lower or upper jaw and only need to replace one arch? Do both arches need restoration? Do you have any physical, behavioral, or medical issues that determine the choices we make to create the finest possible outcome? Do you need permanently affixed artificial teeth or “snap-in” artificial teeth that are removable for brushing your teeth?
Where to Install Your Dental Implants?
After discussing your plans, we then progress to the consideration of where to locate your dental implants. Placing dental implants is meticulous work. Our dentist needs to understand just how much jawbone you have and where the bones are solid. The location and length of the implants are decided on by taking scans and x-rays of the oral cavity and the surrounding jawbone scaffold. All-on-4® gives different sizes of implants and designs of dental prosthetics based on your individual needs.
The All-on-4® Dental Implant Procedure
Digital data about your bone structure, jaw, and gumline is used to create guides that assist the dentist to place the implants precisely. Certain tooth extractions may be required, and revisions might be completed to your gumline for cosmetic reasons. The dental implants are all attached at the same time. For the majority of clients, after verifying the strength of the implants’ attachment to the jawbone, temporary “healing dentures” are screwed in place on the implants, so you can leave our dental clinic with a full collection of teeth on the same day as your treatment.
Installing the Dental Implants
After a recovery period of two to three months, the implants have fused with your jawbone and can handle the forces made by chewing with standard dentures. Over that time, your custom-fit dentures were produced conforming to your specifications. When you return, we take out the healing dentures and affix the permanent dentures. If they are the removable kind, we make sure you can take them off with ease before leaving our practice.
With your brand new, complete group of teeth, you can return to eating the meals you like, to talking normally, to singing, and to laughing with self-esteem! The implants strengthen your jaw and maintain the remaining bone. Your self-esteem and appearance increase, and a crucial part of your life appears normal again!
