Have you heard the latest buzz in the dental world?  If so, chances are you have heard about All-on-4 dental implants!  They are an easy way to replace missing teeth or dentures using modern technology and materials.  It is a perfect solution if you have dentures or you happen to be missing many natural teeth. #smilewithconfidence

All-on-4 Dental Implants can support a whole arch of teeth, but only have to use four implants.  The implants can be placed on the upper or lower jaw, immediately replacing missing teeth.  They look and feel similar to your natural teeth, and function just as well, too! All on 4 Scottsdale AZ

Four titanium implants are inserted into each jaw.  These implants will act as the foundation for the bridge.  A fixed set of teeth are then added to the implants, replacing the teeth you are missing. 

If you are worried about bone loss, all-on-4 is still a good solution.  The posterior implant will be tilted 45 degrees, which reduces the need for bone grafting.  Having an all-on-4 procedure will take advantage of the denser bone that usually remains in various parts of the jaw.  Positioning the implant at an angle can avoid the nerve canal in the lower jaw and sinus cavities that are found in the upper jaw. All on 4 Scottsdale AZ

Before the all-on-4 procedure, you will need one or two appointments so that your dentist can develop a treatment plan for you.  This usually involves taking x-rays, photos, impressions and any other measurements needed.  After all this is done, you will be scheduled for surgery implantation. #martindental  This is when the new teeth will be fitted and adjusted within a 24-hour period, even if an extraction is necessary.  Don’t worry, you will be sedated during this procedure!
