How Are All-on-4 Implants Different from Traditional Dental Implants?
All-on-Four implants offer a groundbreaking solution for individuals who have lost multiple teeth. This advanced dental technique uses between four to six implants to support a full-arch prosthesis, providing a reliable, comfortable, and visually appealing alternative to traditional dentures. This guide delves into the benefits, procedure, and candidacy for All-on-Four implants, helping you make an informed decision about your dental care.
Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 implants offer numerous advantages. The use of only four implants for a full arch reduces the complexity and duration of the surgery, making the procedure quicker and less invasive. This streamlined process also means fewer trips to the dentist, saving you time and effort.
One of the standout benefits is the immediate results. With All-on-4 implants, new temporary teeth are fitted on the same day as the implants, allowing you to enjoy your new smile right away. Additionally, the need for bone grafting is rare, simplifying the process further.
The All-on-4 system not only provides functional benefits but also enhances aesthetics. These implants offer a natural look and restore full mouth functionality, creating an attractive and practical solution for tooth loss.
Can this replace my Bridge or Dentures?
Yes, bridges and dentures also can be used to replace missing teeth. However, they do not have all of the benefits that dental implant restorations have. At your consultation, we will discuss all possible options with you and if needed, we can provide bridges and dentures too.
Does it hurt ?
No! We make sure we give you local anaesthetic (and sometimes sedation) so that the procedure is pain-free.
Will it look natural ?
Our team will work with our lab technicians to ensure your final teeth look as natural as possible, taking into consideration your facial features, old photographs of your teeth and your dental needs.
Why Should I Consult an Implant Specialist?
Consulting an implant specialist ensures you receive expert care and a tailored treatment plan. These specialists have advanced training and extensive experience, enabling them to handle complex cases with a high success rate. They perform thorough assessments, including detailed imaging and evaluations of your oral health, to develop customised solutions that meet your specific needs.
Their expertise leads to more precise implant placements, reduced risk of complications, and ultimately, a natural-looking, long-lasting smile. At BPI Dental, our specialists are dedicated to excellence, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcomes for your dental implants—far beyond what many general dentists may offer due to their limited experience in this field.
Is the Procedure Painful?
No, the implant placement process is designed to be gentle and is usually performed under local anesthetic, sometimes with mild sedation. This approach minimises pain, though you might feel some pressure or mild discomfort. Our experienced team is committed to ensuring your comfort throughout the entire procedure.
By using meticulous techniques combined with effective anaesthesia, we aim to provide a smooth and painless experience for all our patients. Whether you are considering implants or other cosmetic treatments, you can trust that your comfort and well-being are our top priorities.
