All-On-4 Implants – Fresno, CA
Rebuilding Your Full & Beautiful Smile
For those who struggle with severe tooth loss, you likely know all too well how difficult it is to eat and speak comfortably. While dental implants are a fantastic and effective way to replace missing teeth, it might not be viable to replace every single tooth with a metal post. Instead, our team at Shinkawa Dental can provide you with All-on-4 treatment, which utilizes four titanium posts to support a full denture to rebuild your smile. Keep reading to learn more about this treatment option or give us a call today to schedule your initial visit.
How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?
Dental implants are one of the most comprehensive solutions for replacing missing teeth because of how they directly support restorations or prosthetics via the jawbone. However, to rebuild an entire arch, our team can use simply four metal posts to secure a full denture in place. Not only does this minimize how many implants are placed into your jawbone, but your new teeth will also remain in position indefinitely, as you won’t have to worry about them shifting around when eating. This treatment is also beneficial for patients who have minimal jawbone density.
Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
The only way to know for sure if you’re eligible for All-on-4 implants is to visit our team for a consultation and thorough examination of your oral health and jawbone. In most cases, you might be a good candidate for the treatment if you:
- Lost most or all of your teeth in an arch
- Are free of periodontal disease and any other oral health problems
- Possess good overall health to undergo minor oral surgery
- Have adequate jawbone density without needing a bone graft
- Are committed to preserving great oral health
Even if you don’t immediately fit the criteria for All-on-4, our team can work with you to prepare your mouth for the procedure if this is a solution that can improve your smile and quality of life.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implants
By getting All-on-4 implants, you can be sure to enjoy a wide range of advantages for your smile, including:
- Enhanced biting power without any worries about your prosthetics moving out of place
- Completely personalized results that fit your mouth perfectly
- Simplified maintenance that requires no special techniques or tools
- Preserves the jawbone
All-on-4 vs. Traditional Implants
Compared to traditional dental implant treatment, All-on-4 utilizes fewer titanium posts while still being able to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Not only can it be more cost-effective and involve a shorter timeframe, but some patients might be able to walk out of their procedures with their new teeth right away. That said, if you need greater stability for your restorations, then traditional implants might be necessary. Our team will walk you through your options so that we can help develop the best treatment plan for giving you back your smile.
