What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is an innovative method for replacing several missing teeth at a time. A minimal number of dental implants are used to replace as many teeth as possible. Just four strategically placed dental implants can securely anchor a full row of artificial teeth in place. The skilled dentists for oral surgery at Family Dental in Glenview, IL, can determine if you are a candidate for restoring your smile with All-on-4 tooth treatment.

All-on-4 Tooth Replacement

Dental implants are small screw-like metal posts that serve as roots for prosthetic teeth. Dental implants are placed directly in bone tissue through a minor surgical procedure. Over time, the bone tissue and metal implants permanently bond together. Being firmly rooted in bone allows dental implants to securely hold artificial teeth in place.

Unlike natural teeth that each have their own root, it is possible to anchor a full row of prosthetic teeth with just four dental implants, which is exactly what All-on-4 tooth replacement treatment does. When properly placed, it is possible to hold a dental bridge or fixed denture in place with just four dental implants.

Candidates for All-on-4 treatment should have a strong immune system, healthy gums, and adequate bone tissue in the jaw area for placement of the dental implants. The experienced dentists for oral surgery at our practice in Glenview can determine if you are a candidate for All-on-4 tooth replacement.

Benefits of All-on-4

There are multiple benefits to restoring your smile with All-on-4 treatment. One of the primary benefits is that only four dental implants are needed to replace a full row of teeth. Fewer dental implants mean fewer surgical incisions are needed to place them. Additionally, All-on-4 is a secure and permanent tooth replacement option so you will never have to worry about your denture or bridge coming loose or falling out.

Another benefit of All-on-4 treatment is that it can reduce or eliminate many of the unwanted side effects of tooth loss, including gaps in your smile, changes in speech, and facial sagging. Without a full set of teeth to support the muscles of the face, sagging and drooping can occur. Additionally, speech can be affected as the tongue slips into the gaps left behind by missing teeth. Restoring your smile with All-on-4 treatment fills in the gaps caused by tooth loss and can improve speech and reverse facial sagging.

All-on-4 could be the solution you have been waiting on for permanent tooth replacement. Schedule an appointment with one of our knowledgeable dentist to find out if you are a candidate for this oral surgery option by calling Family Dental in Glenview, IL, at (847) 998-1281.
