Candidates for All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 Dental Implants are a good option for patients who have lost most or all their teeth and would prefer to have a more permanent solution than dentures. Although you can never be too old for All-on-4 Dental Implants, you certainly can be too young, as facial, and dental bones are still forming through the younger adult years.
There are a range of immediate and long-term benefits that you will enjoy following your All-on-4 Dental Implants, including the following:
- Minimally invasive compared to individual implants
- Cost effective
- Faster results and quicker recovery time
- Less discomfort and maintenance then dentures
- Easier to speak compared to traditional dentures
- Reduces likelihood of requiring a bone graft
- Feels and functions like natural teeth
- Maintains integrity of bone structure
- Keeps adjacent teeth healthy
- Evenly distributes bite forces
- Prevents additional bone loss, which can create an aged appearance
Carrollton All-on-4 Dental Implants Procedure
In order to determine if All-on-4 Dental Implants are right for you, you will need to schedule an initial consultation, during which we will examine the overall health of your teeth, review your medical history, take scans and x-rays, and determine what treatment options are best suited to your unique needs. Next, your periodontist will examine your jawbone to ensure there is an adequate amount of bone density to hold an implant in place.
If All-on-4 Dental Implants are determined to be the optimal treatment option for you, your periodontist will develop the implant placement plan designed specifically for your unique needs to maximize the support necessary for the denture tray.
The procedure begins with the administration of a local anesthesia. Once the soft tissue of the gum is numbed our periodontist might first have to remove any unhealthy or loose teeth. Otherwise a small incision will be created to gain access to the jawbone. Next a small hole will be drilled in the jawbone into which the implant will be placed. The implant is a small titanium post. The small surgical site will be sutured closed. The next several months are crucial as the post grows or fuses to the jawbone. You will be fitted for a temporary set of dentures during this time. Once it is determined the posts are adequately fused, extensions or abutments are added to reach the surface. The permanent trays that have been fabricated in the dental lab have small clips on the inside. The clips snap on to the extensions and your All-on-4 implants are finished. The All-on-4 Dental Implants provide the security of positioning and the posts serve as roots, delivering sensations of pressure through biting and chewing and even temperature variations.
Aftercare for All-on-4 Dental Implants in Carrollton
Following your All-on-4 procedure, recovery time is minimal, although you will need to allow two to three months for the jawbone to bond to the implants. It will be necessary to follow special aftercare instructions; however, to maximize the benefits and longevity of your All-on-4 Dental Implants, it is critical to practice good oral hygiene habits at home day in and day out. This includes brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing at least once daily. It is also important to practice proper brushing and flossing techniques. In addition to practicing this consistent and proper oral selfcare, it is also just as important to schedule regular checkups every six months. By maintaining a consistent and preventative oral health care routine, you will significantly reduce your risk for developing additional periodontal issues and will continue enjoying a healthy smile.
All-on-4 Dental Implants Cost
One of the primary benefits of having All-on-4 dental implants is that doing so is typically more cost effective than having many individual implants. There are a range of factors that can impact the final cost of having All-on-4 implants. These are the severity of your case, the addition of any sedation during the procedure, the number of visits necessary and any associated procedures that will need to be performed, as well as your insurance plan.

PERIODONTAL SERVICES
To determine if you have gum disease, your periodontist will measure the space between your teeth and gums. Patients who have pockets that are deeper than the average depth of three millimeters or less will be considered candidates for treating gum disease. Depending upon how severe your case is, your periodontist will suggest a follow up appointment, during which several different treatment options may be recommended.
