The All-on-4 dental implant solution is a wonderful permanent and fully functional option for those looking to replace an entire arch or mouth of missing or damaged teeth with dental implants in the most functional, safe and cost effective way possible. This procedure provides patients with the very next best thing to their own healthy natural teeth.
Rather than using an implant for every missing tooth which can be extremely expensive and traumatic in cases that require bone grafting, four strategically placed implants can be used on each arch to create a stable foundation that supports a customized fixed prosthetic of 10 to 14 teeth.
The most unique aspect of the All-on-4 solution is that the implants placed in the back of the arch are angled 30-45 degrees in order to optimally anchor your replacement teeth safely in an area of the mouth that is more dense in bone and thus better able to support a full arch of teeth for daily use.
This fact makes it a favourable and desirable solution for those who have already experienced bone loss and are no longer eligible for more conventional solutions such as standard implants and dentures. For the implementation to be successful a careful analysis of the bone structure needs to be made. The most ideal way to evaluate the bone is by a CBCT scan.
Once the four implants are placed they serve as the foundation for a permanent prosthetic that is customized and fastened upon them immediately. This serves as a replacement for your teeth that provides the function, aesthetics and health benefits of your own teeth.
