What Are All-on-4® Dental Implants?
The All-on-4® approach uses only four dental implants to securely anchor a full arch of teeth. These implants are strategically angled and placed to maximize contact with the available bone, eliminating the need for extensive bone grafting in many cases.
Once the implants are placed, a custom-designed arch of teeth is attached, creating a beautiful, permanent smile.
Benefits of All-on-4® Dental Implants
Choosing the All-on-4® treatment at Manhattan Dental Spa provides numerous benefits over traditional dentures:
- Permanent, Secure Fit: No slipping, shifting, or need for adhesives.
- Natural Look and Feel: Custom prosthetics closely resemble the appearance and function of natural teeth.
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
- Quick Results: Many patients leave with a full set of teeth the same day as their procedure.
- Improved Comfort: No plate covering the roof of the mouth, making eating and speaking easier.
- Enhanced Durability: Longer-lasting and more reliable than traditional dentures.
- Better Oral Health: Maintains gum and bone health while reducing dental issues caused by missing teeth.
What to Expect
- Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive exam and 3D imaging to assess your dental health and bone structure.
- Implant Placement: Four titanium implants are strategically inserted into the jawbone.
- Immediate Restoration: In many cases, a temporary arch of teeth is attached the same day.
- Final Prosthetics: After the implants fully integrate with the jawbone, a permanent set of teeth is custom-made and securely attached.
