Are you ready for an entirely new smile? The All-on-X and All-on-4® treatment concepts replace a full arch of teeth permanently.
The All-on-4® treatment concept is a dental implant technique where the upper and lower set of teeth are replaced with just four implants each. These four implants act as a support mechanism for the placement of a new set of fixed teeth.
Here at Bridge Creek Dental, we have seen a lot of success in using the All-on-4® treatment concept for dental implants. You get to walk away with an entirely new smile on the day your implants are placed. That is something to smile about.
Conventional Dental Implants Vs. All-on-4® Treatment Concept
The dental implant itself is a small titanium screw that is positioned into the jawbone and then supports either a single tooth or a bridge of teeth. The titanium implant forms the foundation by which the replacement teeth are attached.
For the conventional dental implant procedure, a full arch rehabilitation required 6-8 implants to support a full fixed bridge. However, with the All-on-4® treatment concept, Only four implants are needed to provide support for the full arch. Just two implants are placed at the front of the mouth and two angled implants can be placed in the back.
The less invasive nature of the All-on-4® treatment concept also means the healing and rehabilitation process is considerably shorter, and since fewer implant fixtures are used, there is more flexibility to design and fit the optimum replacement teeth.
All-On-X
Similar to the All-on-4® treatment concept, All-on-X restores your smile the day your implants are placed. This treatment offers flexibility with the amount of implants attached to your permanent arch restoration, perfect for those who have bone loss or other oral health issues.
All-on-4® Treatment Concept Helps with Jaw Bone Health
The All-on-4® treatment concept has given patients with bone health issues a better choice. In the past, a lack of upper jaw bone was a big problem for implant candidates and often required bone grafting to build the jaw up enough to support the 6-8 implants the old methods required.
The All-on-4® treatment concept eliminates the need for bone grafting and usually allows patients suffering from osteoporosis to have the All-on-4® treatment concept procedure.
Overall, these innovative options from the All-on-4® treatment concept can circumvent the need for invasive bone grafting procedures altogether.
