An innovative treatment option to restore your entire smile with just four dental implants
Significant advances in dental implant technology have made it possible for just four implants to replace the entire upper or lower set of missing or damaged teeth. These four implants support permanent restorations, such as dentures or dental bridges. They provide structural support to these appliances and make them stable and sturdy. This system is used when there is insufficient bone in the posterior areas of the jaws.
Each implant can provide support for multiple replacement teeth depending on the bone quality. To replace missing teeth, you do not need one dental implant for each missing tooth. Thus, this system helps you to replace your whole upper or lower jaw with just four implants
How do they work?
All on four implants is a proven technique in which two implants are placed vertically in the front area of the jaw, and the posterior two implants are specially designed and placed at an angle. While using this technique at Signature Smiles, we use Nobel Biocare implants with a very high success rate. These four implants anchor the implant-supported dentures, also called snap-in dentures or fixed restorations like dental bridges. This helps to support the entire set of replacement teeth.
It’s a great solution for people who have lost all of their teeth and do not have enough bone for the All on six system.
What Is the All on 4 Dental Implant Procedure?
We at Signature Smiles believe in making maximum use of advanced technology to save time and money! We make sure the entire implant procedure is digital from start to end. After an initial consultation and thorough examination of your mouth, our implant specialists will discuss your needs and determine the best treatment option for you.
Our experienced & certified Implant specialists are trained in the USA & Germany. They have more than 20 years of expertise and experience in placing implants.
Your mouth will be evaluated using 3D imaging with our in-house Cone Beam CT scan machine. This is done for an accurate assessment of the amount and density of available bone in your jaws. Our state-of-the-art Virtual Implant Planning software helps decide the details of your treatment plan. The software then facilitates the design and fabrication of the final replacement teeth. It also helps to construct surgical guides, which makes it easy for our specialists to place the implants in the most accurate and safe position.
With the intraoral 3D scanner, virtual measurements of your jaws are made. These assist in planning the implants and your new replacement teeth for a successful treatment outcome.
Just like other implant-supported restorations, the procedure consists of two phases. During the first phase, four implants are placed into the jaw bone. Our dental specialists take excellent care to perform the procedure under local anesthesia to make it pain- free and extremely comfortable for all patients. You will receive a temporary denture or dental bridge immediately after the placement of implants, which will be used throughout your healing period.
The second phase takes place about 4-6 months later when the bone and gums are fully healed and bonded with your implants. This process is called osseointegration. At this point, you will receive the permanent implant-supported bridge or denture.
How do they work?
There are many benefits of all-on-four implants
- As compared to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures are more comfortable and a natural-looking alternative. They are stable and secured firmly into the jaw. This makes it easier for you to chew effectively and smile and speak confidently. You no longer have to worry about dentures moving around or coming out of place. Plus, they are easy to maintain, just like your natural teeth.
- Since the implants are embedded in bone, they promote bone growth and significantly reduce the loss of jawbone.
- These devices also significantly reduce the need for bone grafting. So, it is a good solution for patients who have jaws with low bone density and volume.
- With proper care, the implants can last a lifetime and are an excellent long-term investment.At Signature Smiles, our decades of experience and expertise in dental implants have earned us an outstanding reputation for being one of the best. We pride ourselves in using dental implants that are backed by research and of the highest quality. Our in-house lab crafts all the implant-supported restorations with precision to give you a natural-looking and amazing smile.
The cost of all on four dental implants depends on several factors, including the type of replacement teeth the patients want, such as a dental implant-supported fixed bridge or a denture. Thus, the cost varies from one individual to another. At Signature Smiles, you will receive high-quality all on four implant treatment at an affordable price.
