All-on-4 Dental Implants — Midlothian, TX

How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?

As the name of the treatment implies, All-on-4 in Midlothian uses just four dental implants to provide support for an entire arch of prosthetic teeth. Two implants are placed at the back of the jaw, and two are positioned toward the front of the jaw — in areas where the bone is naturally strong and thick. Immediately after the implants are inserted, you’ll receive a provisional (temporary) denture to go on top of them. After you have healed adequately from the surgery, you’ll receive a permanent set of replacement teeth.

Am I A Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?

You may be a good candidate for All-on-4 treatment if:

• You have lost all your teeth in either your upper or lower jaw (or both).
• You are committed to excellent oral hygiene and are free of active gum disease.
• You have adequate jawbone density to support dental implants in Midlothian. Even if you have already lost some jawbone density, you might still qualify for All-on-4 due to the strategic.
• You are tired of your traditional dentures

What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Implants?

Some of the most outstanding benefits of All-on-4 treatment include:

• Most patients require just one surgery. This is in contrast to traditional implant treatments, which typically require at least two surgeries.
• The procedure is minimally invasive. This contributes to a relatively fast recovery time.
• The results are beautiful and functional.
• The implants are substitute tooth roots. Because they bond with the jawbone, they can help to keep it as strong as possible.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants

Some key differences between traditional dental implants and All-on-4 include:

• All-on-4 usually requires fewer dental implants per arch. (Traditional treatments may require 6-8 implants per arch.)
• The treatment timeline with All-on-4 allows you to enjoy a restored smile on the same day as your implant placement surgery. With traditional implants, you usually have to wait several months between the surgery and restoration.
• All-on-4 may cost less than traditional treatments.

Of course, there are some circumstances in which traditional dental implants are a better option than All-on-4.
