All-on-4®
The All-on-4® treatment concept offers a comprehensive solution for patients needing a full-arch denture. This technique involves placing four dental implants, with two at the front of the mouth and two towards the back, angled slightly. The angled placement of the posterior implants allows for optimal contact with the available jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the denture.
While the standard All-on-4® procedure typically uses four implants, Dr. Vidal and her team may recommend a different number based on the patient's specific needs. Some patients may require between four and six implants, depending on the quality and density of their jawbone. This individualized approach ensures that the implants have adequate support and minimizes the risk of implant failure.
For patients with lower jawbone quality, utilizing additional implants, as in the All-on-6® procedure, may be necessary. The extra implants provide enhanced stability, increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome. Dr. Vidal and her team will assess each patient's situation and recommend the appropriate number of implants to ensure the best possible results.
The Benefits of All-on-4
- Because All-on-4 allows full-arch restoration with only four implants, your treatment and recovery time are greatly reduced.
- All-on-4 lowers the need for bone graft surgery while ensuring greater stability in the existing bone. It can even be used for patients who have been told they do not qualify for implants due to bone loss.
- The All-on-4 solution is more comfortable than traditional dentures because All-on-4 implants are more secure and feel like natural teeth.
- You'll never have to worry about your false teeth slipping or falling out while you eat or engage in conversation.
- There is no need for denture adhesive!
