Frequently Asked Questions

What are All-on-4 implants?

Each year, millions of Americans experience tooth loss, whether it be from gum disease, facial trauma, aging, or normal wear-and-tear. Whatever the reasons, tooth loss can have a detrimental impact on the functionality and appearance of your mouth and face, leading to a misaligned bite, speech and chewing difficulties, and the social embarrassment that comes along with knowing that you are missing teeth. 

All-on-4 implants are a revolutionary treatment that serves to replace multiple teeth or a full arch of missing teeth. During the treatment, four tooth implants are installed into your jawbone in strategic placement. These implants serve to anchor the replacement teeth firmly in place, creating a convenient, functional, and beautiful tooth replacement solution. 

Who could benefit from All-on-4 treatment?

All-on-4 treatment is an adaptable method that serves as a solution if you are missing multiple teeth or a full arch of teeth. All-on-4 works for both the upper and lower arch. In addition, All-on-4 is a wonderful solution for those that have a deteriorating jawbone that may not be able to handle many individual implants. 

Those who do not want to deal with dentures and the sticky adhesives that they usually require can also benefit from All-on-4 implants, as they offer a long-lasting, durable, and functional option. All-on-4 treatment can also be completed in a convenient manner, making them a perfect solution to fit into your busy life. 

What can I expect at my appointment?

All-on-4 implants can be completed in just two visits. Initially, the team at SEDA Dental will take digital impressions and X-rays in order to be able to accurately design and plan the procedure. Titanium implants are then placed into your jawbone, where they become firmly rooted over time. The team will place same-day teeth onto the implants during the same visit. The permanent replacement teeth are specially designed in a laboratory and then installed during your second visit. 

You may experience some discomfort following the procedure, although this should resolve quickly. In addition, it is important to brush and floss your replacement teeth as directed by the team at SEDA Dental. Initially, follow-up visits to ensure the health and fit of your new teeth will be necessary.
