All on 4 Dental Implants Q&A

What are all-on-4 implants?

All-on-4 implants are replacement teeth that are surgically implanted into your jaw. They look, feel, and function like your permanent teeth. Additionally, they can:

  • Restore your smile
  • Prevent bone and soft tissue deterioration
  • Help you enjoy eating again
  • Are nonremovable

In addition, all-on-4 dental implants allow you to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Clinical studies say men and women with all-on-4 dental implants bite with up to 70% more force.

How are all-on-4 implants different from traditional dental implants?

Traditional dental implants generally require between six and eight implants per arch. All-on-4 dental implants, on the other hand, are unique to every patient, meaning there’s no time wasted during the installation process, and the doctors use the necessary number of implants per arch. All of this can be done on the same day.

What is the process for getting all-on-4 dental implants?

Getting all-on-4 dental implants requires at least two separate appointments with Dr. Young.

During your initial consultation, he takes X-rays of your mouth and performs a thorough oral exam. If you’re a good candidate for all-on-4 implants, Dr. Young schedules an appointment for surgery a week or two later.

At your second appointment, Dr. Young administers a local anesthetic and sedatives, ensuring you’re comfortable and feel no pain.

Next, he makes a series of surgical incisions, placing the necessary amount of implants required to complete the procedure.

Once your procedure is finished, you’re sent home, and your mouth heals for six months. After that, you return to Dr. Young, and he applies your permanent crowns.

Can all-on-4 dental implants be combined with other treatments?

Yes, Dr. Young routinely uses all-on-4 implants in combination with other treatments, like implant-supported dental bridges.

Dr. Young also provides all-on-6 implants, which are slightly more stable than all-on-4 implants because they require two additional implants. However, they are also more expensive and difficult to clean.

If you’re embarrassed by your smile and ready to take action, call Dr. Young or schedule an all-on-4 consultation online today.
