All-on-4 Dental Implants Springdale

Efficient & Strong Full Arch Tooth Replacement

The purpose of dental implants is to act as prosthetic tooth roots. The question might arise, then, do you need an implant for each and every missing tooth? No, you do not. In fact, thanks to the innovative All-on-4 method, you may be able to enjoy efficient and strong full arch tooth replacement with as few as four implant posts. And, the main portion of your procedure might take just one day!

How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?

The All-on-4 procedure is sometimes called Teeth in a Day because in just one appointment, we may be able to extract your remaining natural teeth, place your implants in your jawbone, and provide you with a beautiful new provisional (temporary) denture. This strategy works because we place the implants in areas of the jaw that are naturally strong and thick, so they can support prosthetic teeth right away. Two get placed toward the front of the jaw, and two go toward the back.

After a sufficient healing period, the provisional denture gets replaced by a permanent one.

Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?

Is All-on-4 right for you? It might be if:

  • You are missing all or most of your teeth throughout one of your dental arches. (Or your remaining natural teeth are in poor condition.)
  • Your jawbone is strong enough to support dental implants. (Most patients meet this requirement even without a bone graft.)
  • You are free of oral and overall health conditions that might interfere with your implants’ success.

If you are unsure of whether you qualify for All-on-4, visit our team for a consultation. Most adults can qualify for this procedure, either right away or after necessary preparatory treatment.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

After completing All-on-4 dental implant treatment, you can expect to experience many benefits:

  • A strong bite. You should be able to eat virtually any food with ease.
  • A beautiful smile. We design All-on-4 dentures so they look incredibly natural.
  • Easy maintenance. All-on-4 dentures are permanently fixed to the implants that support them. Therefore, you can treat them almost exactly like natural teeth.
  • Jawbone preservation. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone and can prevent it from deteriorating.
  • Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime, and the prosthetics on top of them are also built for longevity.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants

There are a few key differences between All-on-4 and traditional dental implants:

  • Treatment method. Traditional dental implants may require two or more surgeries, whereas All-on-4 usually involves just one.
  • Treatment timeline. Often, All-on-4 is faster than traditional implant methods.
  • Strength and stability. In some cases, traditional implants offer greater strength and stability than All-on-4. That is because traditional methods may use more implants to support a denture.
  • All-on-4 is exclusively for full-arch tooth replacement. In contrast, traditional implants can be used to replace any number of missing teeth.
