All-on-4® dental implants offer a revolutionary solution for individuals seeking full-mouth restoration. At Langhorne Family Smiles, our dentist and team offer All-on-4 implants to restore both function and aesthetics to patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. This procedure is an innovative alternative to traditional dentures, offering a permanent and stable solution for a complete smile makeover.
What Are All-on-4 Implants?
All-on-4 implants involve placing four dental implants in strategic positions in the jaw to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This advanced technique allows for maximum support and stability using fewer implants, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. Dr. Jayashree Thorat uses cutting-edge technology to ensure a precise and comfortable implant procedure. The result is a set of natural-looking, durable teeth that function just like real teeth.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implants
- Permanent solution: All-on-4 implants provide a long-lasting and fixed replacement for missing teeth.
- Immediate results: Patients often leave the same day with a fully functional set of teeth.
- Improves oral function: With All-on-4 implants, patients can eat, speak and smile confidently, just as they would with natural teeth.
- Prevents bone loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.
- Cost-effective: Compared to replacing each tooth with individual implants, All-on-4 offers a more affordable full-arch restoration option.
The All-on-4 Procedure
The All-on-4 procedure typically begins with a thorough consultation and examination to determine the patient’s suitability. Once the implants are placed into the jawbone, a temporary set of prosthetic teeth is attached to allow immediate functionality. After a healing period, a final, custom-made set of teeth is placed, providing a beautiful, fully restored smile.
