What Is an All-on-4 Implant?

All-on-4 dental implants are a type of permanent denture that are affixed to your jawbone. They both look and feel like your natural teeth. This type of denture is utilized in cases when a patient has lost their teeth because of severe injury, gum disease, decay or old age. Once you have received this innovative type of denture you take care of them just as you would have taken care of your natural teeth.

How Does an All-on-4 Implant Work?

The All-on-4 system is comprised of four implants that are surgically embedded within the jaw. These implants are then permanently attached to a full denture or bridge that is located on the lower or upper jaw. Your treatment process will begin with your dentist giving you light sedation so that he or she can place two tiny posts into the jawbone in the front of your mouth. The dentist will then place two other posts into the jawbone at the back of your mouth. These back posts are placed at a 45-degree angle. This means that the implants are embedded deeper into the jawbone than traditional implants are. Due to this fact, patients who receive All-on-4 implants rarely need to have bone graft procedures performed.

Since the posts are made out of titanium, they are fully compatible with bone tissue. This means that you will be able to heal from the procedure fairly quickly. You will be given a temporary denture to wear while your mouth is healing from your initial procedure. Once your implants have healed fully, you will come back to your dentist in order to have a permanent denture attached to the implants. Your denture will be custom made to match both the shape and the color of your natural teeth.

Some patients are able to receive All-on-4 implants in just one visit. Talk to an All-on-4 dentist at our office in order to determine if you are a good candidate for our teeth-in-a-day service.

What Will Happen Before and After My Procedure?

You may be wondering about what the All-on-4 before and after process will be like. Before you begin pursuing this form of treatment, your dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth. If the dentist finds any problems that need to be addressed before you can undergo this treatment, he or she will do so before your All-on-4 procedure takes place.

Once your implants have been placed, you will be given a set of instructions to follow so that you can properly heal from the treatment. You should follow these instructions exactly to avoid developing an infection. Once you have had your dentures permanently attached, you will take care of your dentures in the same exact way that you did your natural teeth.

What Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Cost?

The amount that you will have to pay for your All-on-4 implants will depend on the exact nature of your case. Our staff will be able to give you a detailed estimate after you have had your initial examination with one of our dentists. It is important to remember that this type of denture is typically less expensive than the procedure required for traditional implants. This is because the All-on-4 process is less invasive and requires fewer implants to be utilized.

Is There a Difference Between All-on-4 and Traditional Implants?

All-on-4 implants offer patients a full dental arch with the use of only four implants. Traditional implants tend to take up to 10 implants per each dental arch. In most cases, traditional implants require bone grafts to be performed in order to replace a patient’s jawbone. Patients who pursue All-on-4 dental implants in Suffern don’t need to undergo this kind of invasive surgery.

How Do All-on-4 and Traditional Dentures Differ?

Traditional dentures can be taken out and typically rest on the top of the gums. This means that they are often unstable. They are also known to be fairly messy due to the adhesive that is required in order to keep them in position. All-on-4 dentures are attached directly to the implanted posts in the jawbone. This keeps the dentures securely in place. All-on-4 implants also maintain the shape of your jawline, which is something that traditional dentures are unable to do.
