All-on-4

What are All-on-4 implants?

All-On-4 implants are an implant-supported denture system that makes your replacement teeth more steady and secure with just four dental implants. Implant-supported dentures use posts that your dentist secures to your jawbone. 

Bone tissue grows over your dental implants, which fully integrate into your jawbone and act as a permanent foundation for your customized dentures.

Missing teeth can place your oral health at risk. Your dentist uses All-on-4 implants to protect your bone structure and facial symmetry, prevent tooth decay, avoid shifting of your natural teeth, and keep your jawbone healthy and strong.

Do I need All-on-4 implants?

Your dental team at Sunrise Dental may recommend All-on-4 implants if you have extensive tooth loss. All-on-4 implant-supported dentures may be ideal if you have tooth loss due to:

• Advanced periodontal disease
• Age-related bone loss 
• Extensive decay
• Oral trauma 

All-on-4 implants support customized dentures that help replace your missing teeth and restore your natural-looking smile. 

What are the benefits of All-on-4 implants?

All-On-4 implants have several benefits, including:

• More secure than suction- or adhesive-based dentures
• More comfortable than traditional dentures
• Easier to speak and chew
• Makes your dentures feel less bulky in your mouth

The biggest benefit of All-on-4 implants, however, is that they provide healthy stimulation to your jawbone. Because your dental implants are connected directly into the bone tissue, they help to keep your bone healthy and strong and prevent the deterioration or resorption that can sometimes happen with traditional dentures. This helps to maintain the shape and appearance of your facial features. 

What are the steps for getting All-on-4 implants?

First, the team at Sunrise Dental places your dental implants. This involves a minor surgery where your dentist embeds the implant in your jawbone.

After you’ve healed from your implant surgery and your implant has fused with the bone tissue in your jaw, your dentist fits you with the prosthetics to restore your smile. There are many types of prostheses to restore your arch. Generally, your dentist takes an impression of your mouth to start, which is sent to a lab that uses it to fabricate your prosthesis. When the prosthesis is ready, your dentist seals and attaches them to your implants.
