All-On-Four in Placentia

What Are All-On-Four Implants?

All-On-Four is a full-arch tooth replacement that can replace one arch or all of the teeth in the mouth. Combining the best of both worlds, a bridge is stabilized by a series of implants. This enables us to support an entire arch of teeth without placing individual implants for each tooth. In the past, 6 to 8 implants were necessary to replace an entire arch of teeth.

However, it was discovered that if you place two dental implants at a 45-degree angle at the back of the jaw, then only four implants are needed to support a whole arch of teeth. This is because the precise placement of the implants increases their load capacity.

Unlike traditional implants, this bridge is stabilized with dental implants which preserve the jawbone. Contact us at Tranquility Dental Arts in Placentia to schedule a consultation.

What Are The Benefits Of All-On-Four?

All-On-Four implants prevent bone loss, don’t require bone grafting, and can last for a lifetime with proper care. This procedure revolutionized patients' ability to replace all of the teeth in the mouth without spending a fortune with single-tooth implants for every tooth. 

Replacing missing teeth will help you speak more clearly, restore your smile, and assist with tooth functionality. Preserving your jawbone will also prevent premature facial sagging and changes to your face.

Am I A Candidate For All-On-Four?

Unlike traditional implants, patients with minimal bone support make good candidates for All-On-Four. Normally, you need to have enough bone density and healthy bone structure to support dental implants. 

However, the implants are strategically placed in areas of the jaw where bone density is most plentiful. Since they are also placed at an angle, this allows for greater flexibility to find good bone support. 

This is a game changer for patients who have suffered from gum disease, extensive tooth loss, and osteoporosis. Normally, these patients would require bone grafting. If you are looking for a solution to extensive tooth loss and you’re in good oral health, then this is a great option for you, especially if you aren’t a great candidate for traditional implants.

Do All-On-Four Implants Prevent Bone Loss?

Yes, All-On-Four implants prevent bone loss just like any dental implant procedure. The implants restore tooth roots that provide stimulation to the jawbone so it continues to regenerate itself.

This prevents bone loss that would occur as a result of tooth loss. This is because when tooth roots disappear, stimulation can no longer reach the jawbone and the body does not receive the necessary signal it needs to continue producing it.
