What is an All-On-4 Dental Implant?
The All-on-4 is also known as a full arch implant. It contains four posts made of titanium material, which are secured on your jawbone at various intervals. Our dentists attach them to the arch and then connect a denture plate. These dental tools are the best for replacing a complete set of teeth.Installing dental implants is surgical and takes an average of two hours. With these implants, you don't require bone grafts, as our dentist can select a part of the jaw with adequate mass and volume.
All-On-4 Placement Procedure
If you have lost all of your teeth due to an accident or severe gum disease, our dentist will recommend All-on-4 implants as the best option. The procedure starts with history taking and x-rays. We proceed to the placement process if you are a good candidate for the implants.The placement process is a surgical procedure and requires sedation. Our dentists prepare for the placement by removing any infected tissues or broken teeth at the site. Incisions are then made. We then drill a hole in your jaw that will work to anchor the screw of the implant. Unlike traditional implants, the All-on-4 is set at a predetermined angle. Abutments are then attached to the posts and will function similarly to your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Once you have lost all of your teeth, your oral health will deteriorate. The jawbone no longer receives stimulation from the teeth and will start losing its volume and mass. With time the jawbone will shrink, recontour, and deteriorate. Biting, chewing, and pronouncing words will also become challenging.All-on-4 implants help to avoid such problems. With this dental solution, you can bite and chew food normally. They give a comfortable, natural look and feel. The process is completed within a short period; you don't have to wait for years. Once the implant heals, you can have a complete set of teeth.
To ensure that your dental implants last for a lifetime, ensure you practice good dental tips. Proper cleaning can eliminate the buildup of tartar and plaque on your teeth. You will have a reason to smile again with these implants. Our dentist will advise you on the best way to care for them, thus you should visit us often.
With All-on-4 implants, you will have a perfect dental formula and smile confidently. Ensure you visit our clinic at East Valley Implant & Periodontal Center, so you can learn better how the implants work. You also contact us at (480) 900-2771 and schedule an appointment.
