All-on-4® in DC
At Dental Town DC, our dentists are highly skilled in improving smiles with the All-on-4® dental implant-supported denture technique. This approach allows for a complete smile makeover in just a few visits.
For those dealing with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures, this procedure offers a significant improvement to quality of life. Implant-supported dentures are a step up from traditional dentures, which can slip, make eating hard, and impact your speech. With four or more dental implants to secure the dentures, these issues are resolved, enabling you to eat a variety of foods, speak more clearly, and smile confidently. With the skill of an experienced cosmetic dentist, like the ones at our DC dental office, this method mimics the look and function of natural teeth closely.
Why Choose All-on-4®?
- Quick results: Unlike traditional methods that can take months, the All-on-4® technique gives you a new set of teeth in as little as one day if a patient is a candidate for immediate loading.
- More comfort and stability: The implants provide a firm base, making the dentures more secure than traditional ones. Additionally, since the denture is secure to implants and doesn’t need a wide base to rest on the gums, it’s less bulky and more comfortable than typical dentures.
- Helps maintain jawbone health: With the absence of teeth in the bone, the bone starts to get absorbed by the body in a process called ‘resorption’. Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often happens with regular dentures.
- Better for your oral health: Implant-supported dentures don’t cause the gum sores and other issues often seen with traditional dentures.
What to Expect with the All-on-4® Procedure:
- First, you’ll have a detailed dental exam, including scans, to plan the implant placement.
- Once the treatment plan is drafted and you approve, the dentist places four or more implants in your jaw.
- If you are a candidate for immediate loading, a temporary set of teeth may be attached to these implants right away, so you leave with new teeth after the surgery.
- Over the following months, as the implants bond with your jawbone, your final, more durable and aesthetically pleasing denture is made.
- Once the implants have fully integrated, the dentist will fit the permanent denture, ensuring a comfortable and natural look.
