What Are The Benefits Of All-On-Four Implants?
In the case of All-on-Four implants, the procedure involves placing various dental implants, which are surgically placed in your jawbone. The implants act as anchors for the artificial teeth, which are attached to them.
This type of treatment is ideal for people who want to replace all their missing teeth at once without having to undergo multiple procedures. An implant system is also a great option if you have a limited amount of bone due to tooth loss or other factors.
The main benefits of All-on-Four include:
- A more natural smile – With All-on-Four treatment, you’ll be able to enjoy a full smile that looks and feels natural.
- Improved oral health – Because there are no additional parts such as bridges or dentures that need to be removed every night, your mouth will be cleaner and healthier than before your treatment started.
- No more pain – If you have removable dentures, you may experience some discomfort from them slipping when you eat or drink. This can lead to soreness and pain in your mouth over time. But with All-on-Four treatment, there are no removable parts so there’s no risk of this happening again!
How To Prepare For All-On-Four Implants?
There are a few things to consider before you schedule your All-on-Four dental implant operation.
- First, ask our doctors about the risks of placing an implant in one of your upper molars. If there is any risk of infection or bone loss, then our dentists will not place an implant in that location.
- Second, ask our doctors about the risks of placing an implant in one of your lower molars. Our dentists will only place an implant if it has no risk of infection or bone loss.
- Third, provide our doctors with your medical history to minimize any risks.
How Are All-On-Four Implants Performed?
All-on-four dental implant operation is performed by our maxillofacial surgeon on a patient who has lost one or more teeth or has damaged teeth. Our maxillofacial surgeon will place a temporary bridge over the damaged or missing tooth. The temporary bridge is made of porcelain and has an attachment that fits over the patient’s natural tooth root.
Our maxillofacial surgeon will then place titanium posts into the jawbone at each corner of the missing or damaged tooth root. These titanium posts are similar to screws, but they have threads that allow them to be screwed into the bone. Once these implants are in place, they will attach the temporary bridge to them and hold it in place while healing occurs. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia so that you’ll not feel any discomfort during the process.
Once the healing process is complete, you may return for another procedure where a prosthetic crown is placed on top of your natural tooth root to replace your missing tooth permanently.
Aftercare For All-On-Four Implants
If you are considering All-on-Four implants, you must pay attention to the care instructions provided by our dentist. Below are some tips for taking care of your new implants after your procedure:
- The first thing you should do is to make sure that the implant does not get infected. You should clean it with a special saline solution every day and keep an eye on the position of the implant. If there is any pain or swelling in the area, contact us right away.
- In addition to cleaning your implant, you need to keep it dry at all times. If there is any water inside or outside the socket, this can damage the structure of your new tooth and lead to serious problems down the road. Therefore, try not to drink anything cold or eat ice cubes as they can damage your implants.
- You should also prevent your teeth from getting chipped by brushing them regularly with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and flossing once every day after eating meals or snacks that contain sugar or salt.
