8 benefits of All-on-4 implants

All-on-4 Dental Implants are changing the way that dentists replace many or all teeth. Not all dentists in the Los Angeles, California area and beyond have the expertise and capabilities to perform this innovative service, though. As specialists, Pasadena Periodontics is equipped to rebuild your smile with as few as 4 – 6 dental implants per arch. So, you can experience the eight benefits of All-on-4 for yourself.

1 – Fast

All-on-4 implants are sometimes referred to as “teeth in a day,” because you can walk into our office with many gaps or badly damaged teeth and leave with brand-new, healthy, and beautiful teeth. Our thorough pre-planning and onsite capabilities (like a surgical guide to support the precise positioning of each implant) allow us to do more in less time. So, treatment fits your packed schedule and active lifestyle.

2 – Minimally invasive treatment

The surgical guide mentioned above helps us to position each implant in a way that there is minimal impact on the surrounding gums and bone. This capability makes the procedure minimally invasive. And the less invasive the treatment, the less post-treatment discomfort you will experience.

3 – A fixed (non-removable) option

Natural, healthy teeth “stay put.” They are stabilized well in your jawbone. All-on-4 implants are the same way. Our specialists use a minimal number (4 – 6) of specially positioned implants in each arch to hold each new tooth in place. These teeth can only be removed by your dentist, as they do not snap in and out of place like other implant-supported options.

4 – A natural option

Since All-on-4 so closely mimics the structure of natural teeth, natural function follows. Your new teeth effectively become a part of your jaw. Our team can restore things like your chewing function back to about 90% of normal. That means most of our patients can enjoy a wider variety of food again, including more unforgiving or chewy items that would normally be “off-limits” with dentures and other techniques to replace lots of teeth.

5 – No grafting required

Many benefits flow from the precise nature of treatment. For instance, we use 3-dimensional scans of your jaw and plaster study models to identify the exact locations and angles needed when placing your implants. This preparation allows us to position implants to take advantage of the available bone. In turn, most All-on-4 cases do not require any bone grafting or other treatments to build up tissue lost due to bone loss that occurs naturally when teeth fall out or are removed/extracted.

6 – Never be seen without teeth

If any of your teeth need to come out, we can extract them during the same visit as the placement of your implants. You will be provided with fully functional, temporary teeth that protect the extraction sites and support healing. The implant and bone must fully integrate before we provide you with your permanent teeth.

7 – Supporting a lifetime of smiles, healthy function

All-on-4 teeth are truly permanent as long as you take good care of them. Our use of the highest-quality materials, exacting planning, bite adjustments, and more ensures that your teeth “work” optimally and do not place excessive pressure on the implants. This form of tooth replacement is designed and built to last.
