Unlike traditional implant treatment, the All-on-4 method gives patients the advantage of receiving a full set of teeth in just one office visit. The strategic placement of the implant posts creates balanced, stable forces that do not hinder the healing process. Therefore, the temporary prosthesis can be attached to the implants the same day they are placed. After a few months, the temporary restoration will be replaced with a permanent, fixed prosthesis.
Dental implants carry over a 95 percent success rate. Specifically, All-on-4 treatment boasts a 96 to 100 percent survival rate at the four year-mark and a 95 to 98 percent success rate after 10 years. In other words, patients who choose All-on-4 treatment are likely to enjoy optimal results for the rest of their lives.
Long-term denture-wearers are well-aware of the challenges that accompany traditional prostheses. Conventional dentures can become loose and wobbly over time, due to changes in the underlying bone structure. With All-on-4 dental implants in Chandler, AZ, patients can enjoy a permanent restoration that will not shift or slip when eating or speaking.
Traditional dentures are often made from plastic or acrylic. The restorations crafted for All-on-4 are made from advanced dental ceramics that mimic the color and sheen of natural teeth. Furthermore, the skilled technician who fabricates your prosthesis will ensure the new restoration fits your unique oral anatomy for optimal results.
Have you ever been told that you do not qualify for dental implants because of bone loss? Strong, dense jawbone is a prerequisite for conventional implant placement. Therefore, bone grafting procedures are typically necessary. Individuals requiring bone grafts before implant placement typically add three to nine months to their total treatment timeline.
Because All-on-4 implants are unique, they can be placed in patients who are lacking optimal bone. As a result, All-on-4 dental implants in Chandler, AZ can be placed much faster than traditional implants.
All-on-4 dental implants in Chandler offer so many advantages, it’s easy to assume they are more expensive than traditional implants. On the contrary, All-on-4 actually costs less in comparison. This is because an entire arch of teeth can be replaced using just four implants. In contrast, traditional implant-supported dentures usually require six to eight implants per arch.
