All-on-4 dental implants are a revolutionary approach to full arch restoration. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, All-on-4 implants use four strategically placed titanium posts to anchor a full arch of prosthetic teeth. These posts are inserted into the jawbone, providing a stable and secure foundation. This method not only offers superior support and stability but also helps preserve the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically accompanies missing teeth.

1. Immediate Results

One of the most significant advantages of All-on-4 implants is the ability to provide immediate results. Patients can leave the dental office with a new set of teeth on the same day as their implant surgery. This immediate functionality means you can start enjoying your favorite foods and smiling confidently right away.

2. Natural Look and Feel

All-on-4 implants are designed to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. The prosthetic teeth are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetic appearance. Additionally, because the implants are securely anchored, they provide a natural chewing and speaking experience, unlike traditional dentures that can slip or cause discomfort.

3. Durability and Longevity

Made from high-quality materials, All-on-4 implants are built to last. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, they can provide a permanent solution to tooth loss. The titanium posts used in the procedure are biocompatible and integrate with the jawbone, creating a strong and durable foundation.

4. Preservation of Jawbone Health

Tooth loss often leads to jawbone deterioration because the bone is no longer stimulated by the roots of natural teeth. All-on-4 implants stimulate the jawbone similarly to natural tooth roots, which helps maintain bone density and prevent the sunken facial appearance that can result from bone loss.

5. Simplified Maintenance

Caring for All-on-4 implants is straightforward and similar to maintaining natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are all that’s needed to keep your implants in excellent condition. Unlike traditional dentures, there’s no need for messy adhesives or special cleaning solutions.

At Shore Smiles, we prioritize patient comfort and satisfaction throughout the All-on-4 implant process. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation

During your first visit, our experienced dental team will conduct a thorough examination, including digital imaging and 3D scans, to assess your oral health and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for All-on-4 implants. We’ll discuss your goals and expectations and create a personalized treatment plan.

2. Implant Placement

On the day of the procedure, you’ll receive local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. Our skilled oral surgeon will then place the four titanium posts into the jawbone. Temporary prosthetic teeth will be attached to the implants, allowing you to leave the office with a functional set of teeth.

3. Healing and Final Restoration

Over the next few months, the implants will integrate with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Once this healing phase is complete, you’ll return to our office to receive your permanent prosthetic teeth, custom-crafted to provide a perfect fit and natural appearance.

4. Follow-Up Care

Regular follow-up visits will ensure your All-on-4 implants remain in excellent condition. Our team will provide guidance on maintaining your new smile and address any questions or concerns you may have.
