What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?

All-On-4 dental implants are an advanced dental technology option that replaces missing or broken teeth with a sturdy, attractive bridge that looks and acts just like regular teeth. Some call them a type of "permanent" denture. An All-On-4 dental implant system permanently restores the function of your smile.

How Do All-On-4 Dental Implants Work?

All-On-4 dental implants are a great way to replace a row of broken or missing teeth. The procedure is quick and relatively painless. You can walk into the dental office and have a new smile in just one day! All-On-4 implants are created by implanting four screws into the jaw - two in the front of the jaw and two in the back. The implants in the back are set at an angle to help make them more secure. Then a fixture denture or bridge with a beautiful, natural row of teeth is adhered to the implants in the jaw.

After some time, the dental implants will become fused with your jaw's bone tissue, which actually works to prevent any bone loss in the future, which can occur if you have missing teeth.

What Are the Benefits of All-On-4 Dental Implants?

There are a number of benefits to All-On-4 dental implants, including cost and functionality. Since they work just like natural teeth, you won't actually feel like you are wearing any sort of prosthetic as you would with a denture. You will be able to chew better, speak better, and look better, and the process is quick and easy!

Are All-On-4 Dental Implants Removable?

No, All-On-4 Dental Implants are not removable, and that makes them a popular option for many of our patients. You don't have to worry about your All-On-4 implants shifting or moving while you speak or chew, as with a removable denture.

Are All-On-4 Dental Implants Made with Acrylic or Porcelain?
