Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4® Implant-Supported Dentures
Can you tell me about All-on-4® implant-supported dentures?
All-on-4® implant-supported dentures are an innovative tooth replacement solution that utilizes four carefully planned and placed dental implants. These implants can support a complete denture to replace a full arch of teeth. Compared to traditional dentures, these are permanently fixed, providing superior stability and comfort. At Avanti Dentistry, we recommend All-on-4® for patients seeking a natural-looking, long-lasting solution to extensive tooth loss. The procedure is minimally invasive and often completed in a single day, allowing patients to leave with a fully restored smile. This approach eliminates the need for individual implants for each tooth, reducing treatment time and cost.
Who is a good candidate for All-on-4® dentures?
Ideal candidates for All-on-4® dentures are individuals with significant tooth loss or damage who want a permanent solution. Although bone grafting may be possible for patients who have lost bone, patients should have enough bone density in their jaw to support the implants. Good oral and general health are also important for a successful outcome. At Avanti Dentistry, our team performs thorough evaluations, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to determine your suitability for the procedure. We’ll customize your treatment plan to ensure the best possible results for your specific needs.
How long does the All-on-4® procedure take?
The All-on-4® procedure is designed to be efficient, often completed in a single day. The process involves strategically placing four implants within the jawbone and attaching a temporary prosthetic arch. Over the next few months, the implants integrate with the bone through osseointegration. Once healed, a permanent prosthetic arch is attached for a durable, natural-looking finish. At Avanti Dentistry, we streamline the process using advanced technology, ensuring you receive a fully restored smile with minimal downtime.
What are the benefits of All-on-4® dentures?
All-on-4® dentures offer numerous benefits over traditional dentures. They are permanently fixed, so there’s no need for adhesives or worries about slipping. The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure. All-on-4® also provides a natural appearance and allows you to enjoy your favorite foods without restriction. The streamlined procedure reduces the need for multiple appointments, and the prosthetics are easy to care for with regular brushing and professional cleanings. At Avanti Dentistry, we customize your All-on-4® solution for optimal comfort and aesthetics.
How do you recommend I best care for my newly placed All-on-4® dentures?
Taking care of your All-on-4® dentures is akin to caring for your natural teeth. You should brush twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss daily around your implants. A water flosser could make this easier if you don’t already have one. Regular dental checkups at Avanti Dentistry are crucial for monitoring the health of your implants and ensuring the prosthetics remain in good condition. Avoid using your teeth as tools or biting into extremely hard foods, as these could damage the prosthetics. Proper care ensures your All-on-4® dentures last for many years.
Does dental insurance cover All-on-4® dentures?
While many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for implant-supported dentures, coverage varies depending on your provider and plan. At Avanti Dentistry, we work with you to maximize your insurance benefits and provide clear information about any out-of-pocket costs. We also offer financing options to make All-on-4® dentures more affordable. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss payment plans so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.
