About All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-On-4 dental implants have made it possible for patients missing an entire arch, or a full set of teeth to enjoy the long term benefits of dental implants in Virginia Beach, VA. All-On-4 dental implants is an innovative procedure that works through strategic planning and placement of only a few dental implants to secure a permanent denture.
The All-On-4 dental implants technique uses as few as four strategically placed dental implants that will secure a cosmetic denture for a functional and stable smile. The fact that you only need four implant posts means you save money.
This unique treatment approach can bring back full function without the need for daily maintenance, dietary restriction, and garbled speech that often accompany traditional dentures. All-On-4 dental implants will enable you to enjoy the best possible quality of life and confidence in your smile. No slipping, no discomfort, and no maintenance.
Dental Implants vs. Dentures
Many people report having issues with the way their traditional dentures fit. They are known to slip around in your mouth, making talking difficult, and even fall out while eating or talking. This can lead to many embarrassing situations. In addition, dentures require a lot of maintenance and adhesives to stay in place. With dental implants to secure your dentures, your dentures will stay in place.
Dental implants can also stabilize the jaw bone and helps to prevent jaw line recession. However, even though traditional dentures are cheaper, they can not guarantee the same quality of life as dental implants.
About the All-on-Four Procedure
Norfolk, VA dentist Dr. Sinclair spends significant time in the pre-treatment and planning phase to create a personalized treatment plan with predictable and successful results. After Dr. Sinclair creates a customized treatment plan, he will coordinate treatment with an oral surgeon or periodontist who will place the implant.
A skilled oral surgeon or periodontist will remove the damaged, decayed, or compromised teeth. They will use dental sedation. Next, they will surgically place around 4 dental implants depending on the patient’s needs. Then, we will secure a temporary dental restoration to the dental implants to restore esthetics and function.
The dental implants will take about 3-6 to heal and then you will return to our Virginia Beach, VA dentist office. When the dental implants are fully integrated with the jaw bone, the temporary bridge will be removed and the final, permanent, custom-designed partial or full denture will be secured.
