All-on-4 Dental Implants – Allen, TX

Efficient Full-Arch Tooth Replacement

happy dental patient

Have you lost all or most of your natural teeth? Are you tired of your dentures? Do you want to finally feel confident about your teeth again? If so, consider restoring your smile and improving your oral health with All-on-4 dental implants from Advanced Dental Care of Allen. As its name implies, this remarkable procedure may be able to replace an entire arch of lost teeth with as few as four dental implants.

How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?

During the All-on-4 procedure, a dentist in Allen inserts two implants in the jaw’s posterior region (the back) at an angle of roughly 45 degrees. This allows for maximum bone-to-implant contact. The other two implants are placed vertically in the bone’s anterior (front) region. Placing them in this way, utilizing areas where the bone naturally tends to be thicker and stronger, gives the implants the support they need.

Patients receive a set of prosthetic teeth on the same day as their implant procedure. After their mouth has had time to heal, they receive their permanent All-on-4 denture.

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

One of the most outstanding aspects of All-on-4 dental implants in Allen is that they are a suitable tooth replacement option for the majority of patients who have suffered extensive tooth loss. Even individuals whose jawbones are not dense enough to support traditional implants may be candidates for All-on-4 because of the strategic way in which the implants are placed. With that being said, you should be in fair overall health, be free of active gum disease, and be ready to comply with all treatment instructions from your dentist.

Benefits of All-on-4 Implants

All-on-4 vs Traditional Implants

As noted above, the procedure for All-on-4 tends to be faster and less invasive than traditional implant procedures, which can require up to 10 dental implants per arch. Also, bone grafts are often necessary with traditional procedures. However, traditional implants have some outstanding advantages of their own. For example, they may be even sturdier than All-on-4. Your implant dentist in Allen will carefully assess your unique circumstances and help you understand the pros and cons of each treatment option before making a treatment recommendation.

Why Choose a Prosthodontist for Your All-on-4 Procedure?

Many dentists place and restore dental implants, but not all of them are as well-qualified as a prosthodontist. After dental school, a prosthodontist undergoes years of additional training that helps them understand how to create the most functional, beautiful, and comfortable dental prostheses possible. The artificial teeth they create are crafted with precision and care, providing patients with a strong bite and a confident smile. A prosthodontist’s intimate understanding of how the oral structures work also makes them well-qualified to perform implant placement surgery.

Dr. Kar, a prosthodontist in Allen, has studied the patented All-on-4 process in detail, and he has already helped many individuals to enjoy the benefits of the procedure. Each implant-supported denture he designs features a sturdy, biocompatible titanium bar to support its structure. The prosthetic teeth themselves fit precisely and are made to provide outstanding aesthetics.
