What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All On 4 is a technique where the upper or lower or both sets of fixed teeth are screwed with just four implants. With this All On 4 procedure, the posterior implants are slightly tilted, and front ones are straight. With the help of four implants a fixed prosthesis with 10 to 14 teeth can be placed immediately, within 24 -48 hours of surgery.
How do All-on-4 Dental Implants work?
All-on-4 dental implants work by using a strategic placement of four dental implants to support a full arch of teeth. Here is how the process typically works:
- Evaluation: The dental provider will evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and overall suitability for All-on-4 implants.
- Treatment planning: A personalized treatment plan is created based on the evaluation results and your specific needs.
- Implant placement: During the procedure, four dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone at specific angles to maximize support and stability.
- Temporary restoration: A temporary set of teeth is attached to the implants immediately after placement, allowing you to have functional teeth while the implants heal.
- Healing period: Over the next few months, the implants will integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, providing a strong foundation for the final restoration.
- Final restoration: Once the implants have fully healed, a permanent set of teeth is attached to the implants, completing the All-on-4 treatment.
By utilizing this innovative technique, All-on-4 dental implants offer a reliable and efficient solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring oral function and aesthetics.
Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
1. Prevents bone loss: Dental implants prevent bone loss. Over time, when teeth are extracted from their sockets, it causes a lot of stress on the jawbone and hence leading to bone loss. Dental implants stimulate the bone and prevent bone loss
2. Improvement in overall appearance: This procedure restores your appearance and confidence. The implant supported prosthesis also restores natural facial contours
3. LONG-LASTING and permanent: Conventional Dentures need to be replaced with time. Implants, on the other hand, are a much more permanent solution.
4. Easy to maintain: Denture care is difficult and can lead to infection. On the other hand, Implants are easy to maintain and normal hygiene protocols such as brushing and rinsing with mouthwash are sufficient.
Maintenance of implants is simple by visiting your dentist for regular follow-ups and hygiene
5. Feel and look natural: The biggest advantage of dental implants is that they replicate your natural teeth. They feel and look natural and masticatory forces are also not compromised and natural sensation of biting is present.
Who will be the ideal candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in a full arch and have good overall health and are free from any medical conditions that may affect the healing process. Patients who have good quantity and quality of bone in terms of density are the ideal patients for implant surgery. Patients’ motivation and commitment towards maintaining good oral hygiene and following post-operative instructions help in overall successful outcomes.
How to Prepare for All-on-4 Dental Implants Treatment
Consultation with Specialist: The first step is to schedule a consultation with an implant dentist for the evaluation of current oral health, and to find out if you are a suitable candidate for All-on-4 treatment protocol. Also, the treatment process, recovery period, and long-term maintenance will be discussed in detail.
Pre-Operative Instructions
On following these pre-operative instructions, you can help ensure a successful procedure
- Avoiding smoking and tobacco use, as it can slow down healing and increase the risk of implant failure.
- Maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly to reduce the risk of infection.
- Avoid alcohol consumption and certain medications that may interfere with anesthesia or blood clotting.
Post-Operative instructions
After the surgery, you need to follow post-operative care instructions I.e.
- switching to a soft diet and avoiding hard and sticky food.
- Maintaining good oral hygiene by gently brushing and rinsing with an antimicrobial mouthwash on a regular basis.
- Any physical activity like weightlifting or vigorous exercise should be avoided for the first few days.
- Follow-up maintenance appointments are a must and should not be missed.
