You will need to be a little careful until the implants have fully stabilised in the jaw, but once you receive your permanent teeth, they won’t be far off the strength of healthy natural teeth.
Sometimes referred to as “All-On-6”, “Same-Day Teeth”, or “Teeth-In-A-Day”, the treatment allows patients to have a fully -functioning set of teeth from day one, using a concept known as full-arch reconstruction.
All-On-4 is so-called because an entire arch of lifelike restoration teeth is held in place by just 4-6 dental implants. Many edentulous patients have resigned themselves to a lifetime of conventional dentures. Consequently, full-arch rehabilitation gives people hope who may have otherwise been told there wasn’t any.
Are you a long-term denture wearer who has been told that removable dentures are your only option? Contact the Fen House Dental team and talk to us about All-On-4 dental implant solutions.
Around 90% of all edentulous cases wear full dentures, and while modern appliances do a good job of replacing teeth from an aesthetic standpoint, they don’t do so without issue.
Because dentures rely on either suction or soft-tissue support to hold them in place, they’re prone to movement. When dentures move, they can cause rubbing and sores inside the cheek.
Additionally, because dentures sit atop the jaw bone, they don’t halt ongoing bone loss associated with teeth loss. As such, every time the jaw shrinks, dentures can quickly become ill-fitting.
Finally, many long-term denture wearers need to adopt dietary restrictions to account for a weaker bite, often depriving them of their favourite foods.
Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be this way. Dr Shahin, Dr Pirvu and their team can treat patients using the All-On-4 fixed-arch concept. Now, orally challenged patients can go from problematic dentures to a fully fixed set of permanent teeth in just one day!
Most people who undergo this procedure tell us that the results are life-changing.
The advantages of All-On-4 dental implants with full arch rehabilitation are numerous.
That’s how full-arch rehabilitation using the All-On-4 concept can help!
The beauty of All-On-4 is that it replaces troublesome dentures while giving you a new set of fixed teeth in just one session. Here’s how the process works:
We’re able to quickly assess the situation during a consultation, but essentially, if you have lost many teeth, have multiple decayed teeth, or are a long-term denture wearer, there’s a strong chance that you’ll be a good candidate.
The results are unmatched by any other form of replacement, which provides almost perfect bite functionality with unrivalled aesthetics.
A great-looking smile can make a huge difference in confidence and self-esteem, and the All-On-4 fixed arch treatment can deliver exactly that.
Give yourself a confidence boost with a perfectly crafted set of permanent teeth, and let us work together to achieve the fully-functioning smile you deserve. Get in touch today!
You will need to be a little careful until the implants have fully stabilised in the jaw, but once you receive your permanent teeth, they won’t be far off the strength of healthy natural teeth.
The All-On-4 procedure is comfortable. You’ll be under either a local anaesthetic or conscious sedation, so you will be awake, but you shouldn’t feel any discomfort whatsoever.
You may feel some discomfort after the surgery. This is normal and can be managed using conventional over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen or paracetamol. Any discomfort or swelling should disappear within 7-10 days.
It all depends upon how quickly osseointegration (bone-to-implant fusion) takes, but as a general rule of thumb, most people receive their permanent set of teeth within 12 weeks. But don’t forget, you will walk out with a new set of (temporary) fixed teeth that same day.
As with all dental implant procedures, All-On-4 doesn’t come cheap, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t affordable.
