All-on-4 Dental Implants in Texarkana & Paris
All-On-Four dental implants offer a permanent solution for individuals with extensive tooth loss or decay. This innovative technique provides a permanent and stable alternative to traditional dentures by anchoring a complete set of artificial teeth to four strategically placed implants in each jaw. With All-On-Fourr implants, our surgeons can maximize the available bone in the jaw and avoid the need for bone grafting procedures, which are often required for conventional implant treatments.
All-on-four surgery involves precise planning and placement of the implants to ensure optimal support and distribution of biting forces. By strategically angling the implants, we can provide a secure foundation for replacement teeth. This approach reduces treatment time and minimizes discomfort and the recovery period for our patients.
Benefits of All-On-Four Dental Implants
If you have extensive tooth loss or need multiple teeth extracted, All-On-Four implants offer several advantages over traditional dentures:
· Enhanced Stability: Unlike removable dentures, All-On-Four implants are securely anchored in the jawbone, eliminating issues such as slippage or discomfort while eating or speaking.
· Improved Aesthetics: The prosthetic teeth attached to the implants closely resemble natural teeth, providing a natural-looking smile.
· Preserved Bone Health: By stimulating the surrounding jawbone, dental implants help prevent bone loss, preserve facial structure, and maintain oral health.
· Enhanced Confidence: With All-On-Four implants, patients can eat, speak, and smile without worrying about their dentures shifting or falling out.
· Long-Term Durability: With proper care and maintenance, All-On-Four implants can last a lifetime, offering a permanent solution for tooth replacement.
The All-On-Four Implant Procedure
At your initial consultation, we evaluate your oral health, discuss treatment goals, and determine whether you are a suitable candidate for All-On-Four dental implants. Using advanced imaging techniques, including CBCT scans, we meticulously plan the placement of the implants.
On the day of the surgery, your surgeon surgically places four implants in the jawbone at precise angles to maximize stability and support for the prosthetic teeth. Following implant placement, a temporary set of prosthetic teeth is attached to the implants so you can eat and smile without embarrassment while waiting for your permanent restoration.
Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring a strong and durable foundation for the permanent restoration. Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, the temporary prosthetic teeth are replaced with custom-made, permanent restorations that closely resemble your natural teeth.
Am I a Candidate for All-On-Four Dental Implants?
While All-On-Four dental implants offer significant benefits for many patients, not everyone is a suitable candidate for this procedure. Ideal candidates for All-On-Four implants typically:
· Have multiple missing or failing teeth in one or both jaws.
· Have sufficient bone volume and density to support the implants.
· Are in good overall health, with no uncontrolled medical conditions that may interfere with the healing process. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes, blood clotting disorders, active cancer, or certain immune disorders may not be good candidates for All-On-Four implants.
· Are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups after implant placement.
