Are you missing multiple teeth or struggling with ill-fitting dentures? Dental implants combined with the All-on-4® treatment concept can give you a full set of natural-looking teeth and restore your smile. Dr. David White and Mason Dental can help any patient feel confident about their smile once again!
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into your jawbone. They fuse securely to the bone during a process called osseointegration. Custom-made replacement teeth called crowns are then attached to the top of the implants. The result is a durable, long-lasting restoration that looks and functions just like natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Restore chewing ability, speech and confidence
- Prevent bone loss and sagging facial muscles
- No need to alter adjacent teeth like bridges
- Low maintenance; similar care to natural teeth
- Success rate of 95% and last 15-25 years
What is All-on-4®?
All-on-4® is an advanced technique for completely replacing teeth in an arch using just four dental implants. It was developed as a cost-effective alternative to having an implant placed for each missing tooth.
How All-on-4® Works:
During one surgery, four dental implants are secured into the jawbone. The implants are strategically placed at angled positions for optimal stability and support. They serve as anchors to hold in place a full arch of temporary teeth.
Over the next few months, the implants fuse to the bone through osseointegration. Finally, the temporary teeth are replaced with a permanent bridge made of lifelike artificial teeth.
Benefits of All-on-4®:
- Replaces a whole upper or lower arch of teeth
- Reduces costs compared to multiple implants
- Immediate function with temporary teeth
- Shorter treatment time; full arch in one visit
- Supports fixed bridges, not removable dentures
- Lasts for decades with proper care
