If you’re missing an entire arch of teeth, All-On-4® dental implants offer a stable and long-lasting solution. At Caputo Dental, we restore smiles with advanced implant technology that provides superior comfort, function, and aesthetics compared to traditional dentures. You’ll enjoy a secure fit and a natural look that feels like your own teeth.
What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?
All-On-4 is an innovative dental implant technique that replaces a full arch of teeth using only four strategically placed implants. Because of this approach, most patients avoid bone grafting and enjoy a shorter treatment timeline. As a result, you regain your smile faster with fewer appointments.
Benefits of All-On-4 Implants
Choosing All-On-4 implants offers several advantages, including:
- Immediate Results: Many patients leave with a temporary set of teeth the same day as surgery.
- Fewer Implants: Just four implants can support an entire arch, which reduces complexity and cost.
- Improved Stability: Unlike traditional dentures, these teeth stay firmly in place.
- Better Jaw Health: The implants stimulate the bone to prevent loss and preserve your facial structure.
Who Is a Candidate for All-On-4?
This treatment works well for patients missing most or all of their teeth, as well as those frustrated with loose dentures. If you have healthy gums and adequate bone density, you are likely a candidate. Even if you lack bone in some areas, this technique often works when other options don’t.
The All-On-4 Process
The procedure involves several important steps, but it’s designed for efficiency and comfort:
- Consultation: We perform a comprehensive evaluation, including digital imaging, and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: Our dentist places four implants in precise positions for maximum support.
- Temporary Teeth: In most cases, you leave with a set of temporary teeth so you can smile the same day.
- Final Restoration: After healing, we secure your custom full-arch restoration for a permanent, natural look.
