All-on-4 Dental Implants – Rome, GA

Streamlined Full-Arch Tooth Replacement

A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth root. Does that mean, then, that you need an implant to replace every single missing tooth? No, not necessarily. In fact, thanks to the innovative All-on-4 treatment, our team can provide streamlined full-arch tooth replacement with as few as four dental implants! This innovative technique is so efficient that it is even referred to as “Teeth in a Day”! Would you like to learn more about it?

How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?

During the All-on-4 procedure, we strategically insert four dental implants into the jawbone. Two go close to the front, and two are placed toward the back at a 45-degree angle. This placement strategy utilizes areas of the bone that are naturally strong and thick, so many patients can complete All-on-4 treatment without undergoing a bone graft first. After the implants are inserted, we attach a provisional (temporary) denture to them, so you can leave our office with a brand-new smile! After a healing period, the provisional denture gets replaced by a permanent one.

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

You might be a suitable candidate for All-on-4 treatment if:

You are missing all or most of your teeth throughout one of your dental arches.
Your jawbone is healthy enough to support dental implants.
You are free of active gum disease and other conditions that could adversely affect your implants.
You are committed to good habits that will support your implants’ long-term success.

If you are unsure of whether All-on-4 dental implants are right for you, visit us for a consultation. Most patients who want this treatment can qualify for it, either immediately or after some preparatory care.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 dental implants offer a number of outstanding benefits:

You can expect your new denture to have a strong bite that allows you to easily eat virtually any food.
Because they are securely anchored in the mouth, you will not have to worry about your dentures slipping out of place.
All-on-4 dentures are permanently attached to the implants beneath them, so in many ways, you can treat them just like natural teeth.
Jawbone preservation. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone and can prevent the deterioration that normally occurs following tooth loss.
We carefully design All-on-4 dentures with the goal of making them look as natural as possible.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants

There are some noteworthy differences between All-on-4 treatment and traditional dental implants:

Treatment process. All-on-4 treatment usually involves just one surgery, as opposed to two or more. Therefore, it is less invasive and faster overall.
Traditional implants can replace any number of missing teeth, whereas All-on-4 is only for full-arch replacement.
In some cases, traditional dental implants can be stronger than All-on-4 dentures.

Both types of implant treatment come with their own set of pros and cons. Our team can help you decide which option is a better fit for your circumstances and preferences.
