Are you missing a full arch or all of your teeth? Are your old dentures uncomfortable?
Fuller Dental offers advanced replacement options for those missing a full arch or all of their teeth. Your dentists in Burlington, NC can also work with patients who suffer from poorly fitting dentures to restore a more stable, functional bite.
Our team proudly offers the All-On-Four™ implant procedure. We can give you a beautiful new smile due to careful treatment planning. Our Burlington dentist office uses advanced digital technology to help with the process.
This tooth replacement option has opened the door for those who may not have been considered suitable candidates for dental implants. Using strategically placed dental implants or mini implants, we can secure a hybrid denture for a new smile that feels like it has always been there.
The All-On-Four Implants Process
The first question is often, “How does All-On-Four work?“. The key to a successful and lasting result is careful treatment planning. During your initial dental exam, we will use digital diagnostics to evaluate your bone structure and soft tissue and determine proper implant placement.
This will help us build a treatment plan for your procedure. No two treatment plans are alike since we treat each patient for their unique needs.
Once your procedure is planned, we will review it in detail with you. We will schedule a day for you to come in to complete the surgical implantation process.
On that day, the dentist will surgically place the implant posts and attach a temporary denture to your new implants. Using a temporary denture allows for subtle changes in fit to occur before we take impressions for a final, custom hybrid denture.
It will also help heal the soft tissues and gums of your mouth. Your final restoration will provide the most comfortable, stable, and natural fit possible. Your temporary implant dentures can serve as a “backup” if necessary at some later time.
Why Choose All-On-Four?
Unlike traditional dentures or other implant methods, All-on-Four combines stability, durability, and convenience, improving oral health and quality of life.
1. Restored Functionality
All-on-four implants restore the ability to eat, speak, and confidently smile. The implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for the replacement teeth. Unlike dentures, which can slip or shift, All-on-Four implants stay firmly in place, allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods without worry.
2. A Permanent Solution
One of the biggest advantages of All-on-Four implants is their permanence. The titanium implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, providing a strong and long-lasting base. With proper care, All-on-Four implants can last a lifetime, making them a reliable investment in oral health.
3. Improved Appearance
All-on-Four implants look and feel like natural teeth. They are custom-designed to match the patient’s facial structure, ensuring a natural, beautiful smile. This treatment also helps prevent the sunken facial appearance that often occurs with tooth loss, preserving a youthful look.
4. Bone Preservation
Tooth loss leads to bone loss in the jaw, as the bone no longer receives stimulation from chewing. All-on-four implants address this problem by stimulating the jawbone like natural teeth roots. This prevents further bone loss and helps maintain the structure of the face and jaw over time.
5. Faster Treatment and Recovery
Compared to traditional implant methods, All-on-Four is faster and more efficient. In most cases, patients can have the implants and a temporary set of teeth placed on the same day. This reduces the number of dental visits and allows patients to start enjoying their new smile sooner.
6. Cost-Effective Option
Because All-on-Four uses only four implants per arch, it is often more cost-effective than replacing each tooth with an individual implant. The streamlined process and fewer implants also reduce treatment time and overall expenses, making this a more affordable option for many patients.
7. Enhanced Comfort
All-on-Four implants are designed to feel like natural teeth. They eliminate the discomfort and irritation of traditional dentures, such as gum sores and difficulty speaking. Patients often report that their new teeth feel comfortable and secure, improving their daily lives.
8. Easy Maintenance
Caring for All-on-Four implants is simple and similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups keep the implants and surrounding gums healthy. There’s no need for messy adhesives or special cleaning solutions, making maintenance hassle-free.
