At TrueSmiles, we understand the impact of missing teeth on your confidence and overall oral health. Dr. Maribel Lopez, our skilled dentist, offers All-on-4 dental implants in Kendall as a revolutionary solution to restore your smile and improve your quality of life.

What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 dental implants are an advanced and efficient way to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, whether it's the upper or lower jaw. This innovative technique involves the strategic placement of four dental implants to support a full set of fixed, natural-looking prosthetic teeth.

Key Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

In many cases, a temporary set of teeth can be attached to the implants on the same day as the surgery, providing immediate aesthetic and functional benefits.

The strategic placement of four dental implants in areas of the jaw with optimal bone density ensures strong support for the prosthetic teeth, offering stability and preventing bone loss.

All-on-4 dental implants often require fewer implants than traditional methods, making them a cost-effective solution for full-arch tooth replacement.

The All-on-4 procedure is often less invasive than traditional implant methods, reducing the need for bone grafting in many cases.

All-on-4 dental implants provide a natural and comfortable fit, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

The All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure

Dr. Maribel Lopez will conduct a comprehensive examination, including imaging, to assess your oral health and determine if All-on-4 dental implants are the right solution for you.

A personalized treatment plan will be developed, taking into account your specific needs, jawbone structure, and aesthetic preferences.

During a minimally invasive surgical procedure, four dental implants are strategically placed in the jawbone to provide optimal support for the prosthetic teeth.

In many cases, a temporary set of teeth is attached to the implants on the same day as the surgery, allowing you to enjoy immediate aesthetic and functional benefits.

The implants will undergo a healing process, during which they fuse with the jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation for the final prosthesis.

Once the implants are fully integrated, a custom-made, permanent set of prosthetic teeth is attached to the implants, providing a beautiful and functional smile.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Caring for All-on-4 dental implants involves regular oral hygiene practices, such as brushing, flossing, and attending routine dental check-ups. Dr. Maribel Lopez will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure the long-term success of your All-on-4 dental implant restoration.

FAQ

What makes All-on-4 dental implants different from traditional implants?

Cross Icon Image

All-on-4 dental implants are a full-arch restoration solution using only four implants per arch. This technique often eliminates the need for bone grafting and can be ideal for patients with low bone density or volume. Unlike traditional implants, which may require six or more implants per arch, All-on-4 uses fewer implants that are placed at strategic angles to maximize support.

How long does the All-on-4 procedure take, and what can I expect during recovery?

Cross Icon Image

The All-on-4 procedure typically takes about 2-4 hours per arch. Recovery time varies among patients, but many can return to normal activities within a few days. Initial healing usually occurs within a few weeks, but full integration of the implants into the bone can take several months. During recovery, following your dentist's instructions regarding diet, oral hygiene, and follow-up visits is crucial for successful healing.

Are All-on-4 dental implants permanent?

Cross Icon Image

All-on-4 dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting, permanent solution. With proper care and maintenance, including regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits harmful to dental health (like smoking), they can last many years or even a lifetime.

Can All-on-4 dental implants be used for both upper and lower jaws?

Cross Icon Image

Yes, All-on-4 dental implants can be used for both the upper and lower jaws. They provide a stable and secure foundation for fixed dentures, restoring functionality and aesthetics to patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both jaws.

How do I maintain my All-on-4 dental implants?

Cross Icon Image

Maintaining your All-on-4 dental implants involves regular brushing and flossing, just like your natural teeth. It's also important to schedule regular dental visits for cleanings and check-ups to ensure the health of your implants and the surrounding tissue. Special attention might be needed to clean under the arch of the prosthesis to prevent plaque buildup.
