All-on-4^® by Nobel Biocare in College Park, Maryland

What Are All-on-4 Dentures?

All-on-4 dental implants are sets of artificial teeth that are anchored to your jaw by four implants, so your artificial teeth remain in place and you don’t have to worry about them moving around or falling out. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to age, disease, decay or trauma, a set of All-on-4 dentures can function like your natural teeth and make you feel more self-confident. They require the same care as your natural teeth, so there’s no soaking, no adhesives, and no breakage to worry about. Call our College Park office today to learn more about getting All-on-4 dental implants in College Park.

How Do All-on-4 Implant Dentures Work?

When your dentist begins work on your set of All-on-4 dentures, you’ll receive two titanium posts in the front and two in the back of your jaw, and they can be in either the upper or the lower jaw. The rear posts will be placed at a 45-degree angle because that enables the posts to be placed deeper into the jawbone; it also eliminates the necessity of a bone graft except in unusual cases.

Titanium is a biocompatible metal, so you don’t have to worry about a reaction. It will also speed the healing time for the incision sites. As soon as your implant sites have healed, you’ll return to our office for the installation of your custom denture. Since it’s customized to your teeth, it will match them in shape and color and will look very natural.

Usually, the placement of an All-on-4 will take two or three office visits and you’ll receive a temporary dental appliance to wear until you receive your permanent denture. In some cases, it’s possible to get this type of implant in one visit. Call our College Park office today to learn more about our teeth-in-a-day service.

All-on-4 Before and After Steps

Before your treatment, your dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth, teeth, and gums to ensure that your mouth is healthy enough for implants. If there’s additional work that you need, we’ll complete that before we perform the All-on-4 procedure. After your initial consultation and after the posts have been installed, you’ll be given aftercare instructions, and it’s essential that you follow them in order to prevent infection. You’ll need to continue a program of good oral hygiene after your implants are installed because the All-on-4 dentures require the same good oral hygiene regimen as natural teeth.

What’s the All-on-4 Dental Implants Cost?

As with any dental treatment, your cost will be unique to you. No two patients are the same, so no two patients will have the same cost for the same dental treatment. However, All-on-4 dentures are more cost effective than traditional implant dentures, and they’re less invasive and they require fewer titanium posts. If you need the All-on-4 treatment but can’t afford it, ask about our attractive payment options. Don’t forego needed dental treatment because of financial concerns, call us today for more information.

Is There a Difference Between All-on-4 Dental Dentures and Traditional Dentures?

Traditional dentures rest on your gums, so there’s no permanent fixture to hold them in place. Traditional dentures don’t help maintain the structural integrity of the jaw, and food particles can get trapped underneath and cause discomfort. All-on-4 dentures are very stable because they’re anchored front and rear to the jawbone. They help maintain the structural integrity of the jaw, and food particles don’t get lodged underneath them. If you want more information on the All-on-4 dentures, call our College Park office and we’ll be happy to answer all of your questions.

Is There a Difference Between All-on-4 Dental Implants and Traditional Implants?

With traditional implants, sometimes up to ten posts are required to secure your new dental device. All-on-4 saves pain and trouble by only using four secured posts. Additionally, bone grafts are usually not necessary when getting All-on-4 implants, saving time and extra procedures for the patient. Call us today to learn more.
