What is All-on-4 Implants in McKinney?
Also referred to as "Teeth in a Day," this innovative procedure allows patients requiring full upper or lower restorations to receive both the implant and restoration on the same day!
Unlike a bridge, which can replace multiple teeth, this procedure involves replacing an entire arch of teeth with titanium implants for secure placement.
All-on-4 Implants vs. Traditional Implants
In a traditional dental implant procedure, patients typically need to make three or more visits over a period of 6 to 9 months to complete the process. The first visit involves removing the affected tooth and placing the dental implant, followed by visits to place the attachment site and attach the permanent crown.
On the other hand, All-on-4 offers a more efficient solution by allowing patients to have the dental implant and restoration placed in a single visit. This is made possible by using 3D CT Scan planning software to carefully plan the placement and surgery of the implant. With minimal healing time, patients can receive their restorations immediately after the procedure.
Advantages of All-On-4 Implants
This treatment is the perfect choice for patients requiring replacement of multiple teeth.
Here are some advantages of this option:
- Efficiency of the procedure - Patients can leave our office with a brand new smile after just one visit, with the surgery taking approximately 2.5 hours per arch. Imagine having a full, new smile in under 3 hours!
- Less bone required – Typically, dental implant procedures require a good amount of bone in the jaw to support the implant. If a patient lacks sufficient bone, they may need a bone graft, adding weeks or months to the process. However, our 3D scanning system identifies areas in the jaw that can support implants, making it possible for patients with low bone mass to undergo the procedure.
- Restores natural function of the teeth and jaw – Implants act as tooth roots, providing a sturdier solution compared to dentures or bridgework. This allows patients to eat and speak normally and confidently.
- Restores the shape of your face – Missing teeth can alter the shape of your face over time. Implants prevent jawbone shrinkage, preserving your facial structure in the long term.
- Restores your confidence – Permanent and secure prosthetic teeth boost our patients' self-confidence.
- More convenient than other options – Implants eliminate the need for messy adhesive creams or ill-fitting bridgework, providing a more convenient solution.
