All-on-4 is a type of dental implant treatment that uses four dental implants to support a full arch of upper or lower teeth. The implants are placed at specific angles and positions in the jaw to provide a strong and stable base for the replacement teeth. This treatment is typically recommended for patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth and are looking for a more permanent solution than dentures.
The process for All-on-4 treatment typically involves the following steps:
Consultation: The first step is to consult with a us to determine if All-on-4 is the right option for you. Our dentist will evaluate your oral health and the condition of your jawbone to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
Planning: If you are a good candidate for All-on-4, Our dentist will create a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. This may involve taking x-rays and making impressions of your mouth to create a model for the placement of the implants.
Surgery: The All-on-4 surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia to numb the area and make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Our dentist will make small incisions in the gum tissue and place the implants into the jawbone at specific angles and positions.
Healing: After the implants are placed, the bone will need to heal and grow around them, a process called osseointegration. This can take several weeks or even months, depending on the individual.
Restoration: Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, Our dentist will attach a custom-made bridge or denture to the implants. This will restore function and appearance to the mouth, allowing you to eat and speak normally.
Overall, the process for All-on-4 treatment can take several months from start to finish. It is important to follow Our dentist's instructions for aftercare and to maintain good oral hygiene to ensure the best possible outcome.
