All-on-4® implants are a groundbreaking option for patients who need to restore an entire arch of missing teeth. Instead of placing a dental implant for each tooth, this technique uses four strategically positioned implants to anchor a full arch of prosthetic teeth. Our skilled dentist and oral surgeon, Dr. Franklyn Aguebor and Dr. Vishaal Agrawal, provide this innovative solution, which offers a more secure, comfortable and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures.
All-on-4 implants rely on four titanium posts surgically implanted into the jawbone. These posts fuse with the bone over time, creating a strong foundation for a fixed denture. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums, All-on-4 implants stay in place securely, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
The process involves:
- Consultation and Planning: We will assess your oral health and determine if All-on-4 implants are suitable for you.
- Implant Surgery: Our oral surgeon places the four implants in precise locations, ensuring maximum support for the prosthetic arch.
- Attaching the Prosthetic: Once healing is complete, we attach a custom-made denture to the implants, restoring full function to your smile.
Advantages of All-on-4 Implants
- Requires only four implants per arch
- Provides a stable and permanent solution
- Enhances your ability to chew and speak naturally
- Improves facial aesthetics by maintaining jawbone structure
