All-on-4 Dental Implants in Hamilton, Ontario
Graftless, Full-Arch Prosthetic Teeth Solution
The all-on-4 technique is a dental solution to replace multiple missing teeth and restore a patient’s full mouth. A full dental bridge is permanently fixed in your mouth, using only four dental implants, offering you the look and feel of natural teeth. At Century Stone Dental, we are proud to be able to offer this implant dentistry option to our patients as an alternative to dentures or a full set of individual implants.
How are All-On-4 Dental Implants Different from Traditional Implants and Dentures?
All-On-4 dental implants differ from dentures in their permanence and stability. While dentures sit on the gums and may slip, All-On-4 implants are fixed securely in the jawbone, providing a more reliable and natural feel, without requiring any adhesives.
Unlike traditional dental implants that require a one-to-one replacement of missing teeth, All-On-4 uses just four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of teeth. This method minimizes the number of surgeries, minimizes costs, and offers immediate results.
All-On-4 dental implants are beneficial for those with extensive tooth loss who are looking for alternatives to dentures or having many individual implants. This procedure is suitable for those who are unable or unwilling to undergo extensive dental implant processes, and can help those who have been told they would need bone grafting surgery before having a dental implant, since an All-On-4 procedure often eliminates the need for bone graft surgery. The implants are put in at an angle, to maximize the bone that is present, so patients with lower bone density and quantity can undergo the procedure without additional bone grafting. This makes All-On-4 a practical and efficient solution for a wide range of patients.
The All-On-4 Dental Implant Procedure and Aftercare
The All-On-4 dental implant procedure is an efficient way to restore a full set of teeth. Typically completed in a single day, four implants are optimally placed so they can support a full arch of teeth. Two implants are inserted vertically in the front, while the two implants at the back are angled strategically to maximize contact with your available bone. Using the right angle and position ensures the implants can withstand biting and chewing forces.
After the surgery, you will be provided with an immediate, temporary set of teeth, along with post-surgical care instructions. Your custom, final set of teeth will be placed during another appointment, after the implant sites have healed.
Afterwards, regular dental check-ups are important to monitor the healing process and address any concerns promptly. Good oral hygiene practices are also critical, including regular brushing, flossing, and possibly recommended antibacterial mouthwashes. Our dentists may also recommend special brushes or floss threaders to ensure thorough cleaning around the implants. While All-On-4 dental implants offer a durable, permanent solution, a proactive approach to oral health significantly helps with their long-term success.
