All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure
Minimally Invasive Dental Implants in Frisco
Modern dental technology makes replacing missing teeth with dental implants possible for patients who don’t have a dense enough jaw bone for traditional dental implants. At Stonebriar Smile Design, we’re always looking for innovative solutions to common dental problems, and the All-on-4 dental implant technique is a game-changer. You can enjoy all the benefits of implant-supported restorations even if you don’t have the necessary oral tissue. All-on-4 is one of the most advanced dental treatments in the industry. Improve your quality of life and transform your smile by scheduling a consultation.
How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?
Traditional implant dentures are attached to four to six implants that are positioned in your jawbone. With All-On-4, we are able to secure the restoration atop four posts that are strategically placed in the naturally stronger and denser areas of your jawbone. We’ll place two implants in the front and two in the back that will be diagonally angled. This way, you can still enjoy the stability and added strength of dental implants because they’ll be supported by the strongest portion of your jaw, possibly eliminating the need for a bone or soft tissue graft.
Who is a Good Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
During a consultation, our All-on-4 implant experts will walk you through the process and discuss your smile goals. The process utilizes the latest techniques and technology in dentistry to determine the ideal placement of your implants, allowing nearly every patient who suffers from tooth loss to be a great candidate. Good oral health is still vital to ensure that your implants will last.
What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Implants?
All-On-4 dental implants are highly recommended by patients and professionals alike because they offer a variety of benefits. While there are several restorative options, only some may mesh with your daily lifestyle, and you should never have to settle. That’s why we offer this modern solution so patients can enjoy the following benefits:
- Long Lifespan. Traditional restorations need to be replaced every seven or so years. Your All-On-4 dentures can last up to three decades when properly cared for.
- Stable and Strong. Traditional removable dentures only replace the biting surface of your teeth. All-On-4 uses implants fused with your jawbone to allow for a stronger, stable solution that won’t slip or shift while speaking or chewing.
- Improved Oral Health. Implant posts naturally fuse with your jawbone, providing it with stimulation and preventing it from deteriorating.
All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants
Traditional implant restorations may require a number of preparatory procedures if your jawbone isn’t dense enough to hold more than four posts. With All-On-4, you can get all the benefits of regular implants without worrying about adding months of healing time to your treatment from needing bone and soft tissue grafts. This way, you can complete your smile in less time, so you won’t have to live with temporary dentures for months! By strategically placing four posts in the strongest areas of your jaw, they can secure the restoration and still stimulate your bone to help preserve it.
