Rebuild a Strong & Confident Smile

Dental implants are lauded as the best way to rebuild a strong and confident smile. However, since they replace the roots of missing teeth, you might wonder if you need a dental implant for every single lost tooth. Not necessarily. In fact, thanks to the innovative All-on-4 treatment, you may be able to regain a full arch of teeth with as few as four implants! You can even receive a beautiful new denture on the same day as your implant surgery. Would you like to learn more about this streamlined tooth replacement treatment? Get in touch with the team at Fromuth & Langlois Dental today. We look forward to answering your questions.

How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?

During All-on-4 surgery, your remaining natural teeth are extracted, and four dental implants are placed into the jawbone. Two go toward the front of the jaw, and two go toward the back at a 45-degree angle. This strategic placement utilizes parts of the bone that are naturally strong and thick, so most patients do not require a bone graft. Immediately after the implants are inserted, you can receive a provisional (temporary) denture. That is why this treatment is sometimes referred to as “Teeth in a Day.” After a healing period, we replace the temporary denture with a permanent one.

Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?

You are free of active gum disease.
You have good habits that will support your implants’ long-term success.
You are well enough to undergo minor surgery.

Some of the most remarkable benefits of All-on-4 dental implants include:

You can regain a strong bite. In fact, you can even consume tough and chewy foods with the help of All-on-4 dentures
You can regain a confident smile. We carefully design All-on-4 dentures so they look and feel as natural as possible.
Dental implants stimulate the jawbone. This helps it to stay healthy and promotes a youthful facial shape.
Caring for All-on-4 dentures is easy. In many ways, maintaining your new smile should be just like caring for natural teeth!

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants

All-on-4 treatment is usually faster and less invasive than traditional implant treatments. That is because it typically involves just one surgery, as opposed to two or more. Its streamlined nature may also make it less costly than full-arch tooth replacement with traditional implants.

Of course, there are some circumstances in which traditional implants are the better option. For example, using more implants to support a denture can result in greater stability and strength.

Our team can help you to compare your treatment options so you can make a well-informed decision about how to move forward with rebuilding your smile.
