All On 4 Implants Specialist

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are dental restorations that give you a stable, long-lasting, natural-looking smile. Implants are secured in your jawbone using a screw, which acts as a sort of artificial root and fuses with natural bone tissue. This creates a strong base for a new crown or bridge that looks like your natural teeth.

You may benefit from dental implants if you:

• Have lost one or more teeth
• Have healthy bone tissue
• Want to avoid the hassle of dentures

If you have significant tooth loss, including loss of your entire top or bottom row of teeth, All-on-Four implants may be the best tooth replacement solution for you.

What are All-on-Four implants?

All-on-four implants are a specialized type of dental implant that allows for the restoration of large sections of teeth, up to an entire top or bottom arch.

All-on-four technology uses only four dental posts that are secured in your jawbone, used as a mount for your entire new set of teeth. The advantage of this type of implant is that you’re able to avoid having separate implants for each tooth that needs restoration. This makes the process of restoration less difficult and gives lasting, natural-looking results.

All-on-four implants are made of titanium, which permanently bonds with and helps to preserve the health and strength of your bone tissue.

What does All-on-Four placement entail?

If you need dental implants, it requires specialized oral surgery. Wall St Dental Spa offers All-on-Four dental implants in the comfort of their office. Their implant specialists answer any questions you may have regarding your implants and are highly experienced in restoring your new smile using this technology.

Steps for placement take place a few visits, and may include:

• Consultation
• Examination and X-rays
• Placement of posts and temporary crowns
• Healing of bone tissue
• Placement of permanent, customized crowns

You’re sedated during placement of the posts, which will need time to heal before attaching your permanent crowns. Your dentist will place temporary crowns, which you’re able to use immediately. You return for your permanent, customized restorations, which will be attached to the posts after your bone and gums have healed and the new post is secure. This is a straightforward and painless process that only takes a few minutes.
