Tooth loss is incredibly common. Over 178 million American adults today are missing at least one tooth, and about 40 million Americans and 30% of adults over 65 are missing all of their teeth. Many patients feel embarrassed about the appearance of their missing teeth or have difficulty chewing and speaking without their natural teeth present. Dr. Bennett and her team can help patients reclaim their overall health and confidence by utilizing dental implants to recreate a beautiful natural smile.
What Exactly Is All-on-4® (“All-on-X”, “Teeth In A Day”)?
- All-on-4® dental implants offer a secure, natural-looking smile – even with bone loss. This innovative technique replaces a full arch (upper and/or lower jaws) of missing teeth using as few as four strategically placed dental implants. With All-on-4®, you’ll regain the ability to eat the foods you love and smile with newfound confidence.
- How it works: Four or more specialized implants are placed into your jawbone, providing a strong anchor for a fixed set of new teeth. This means fewer implants but maximum stability. In most cases, a natural-looking temporary set of teeth will be connected to the implants on the same day as surgery.
How Does All-On-4® Compare With Regular Dental Implants?
Traditional implants are a great choice but often require each missing tooth to be replaced with an individual implant. This may necessitate bone grafting for those with bone loss, and usually requires a period of healing before a prosthetic tooth can be attached.
All-on-4®, on the other hand, is designed to maximize the available bone you have, as well as provide an immediate restoration (teeth attached to the implants on the same day as your surgery). This is a great option for patients who are missing many or all of their natural teeth, as well as for patients with deteriorating dentition who need a fresh start. Only four to six implants are needed to support a full arch of teeth, often reducing the need for bone grafting. This streamlined approach may result in faster treatment times, more predictable outcomes, improved esthetics, and a more comfortable experience.
