All-on-4 Treatment
• All On 4 is a dental implant technique where the upper or lower set of teeth are replaced with just four implants. These four Implants act as a support mechanism for the placement of a new set of fixed teeth.
• With the All On 4 dental implant procedure, the posterior implants are tilted 45° towards the rear of the mouth and placed into the anterior maxilla, a region of the jaw with higher bone density. Compared to other implant methods, the All On 4 technique doesn’t require the same density of bone in order to secure the implant.
Oral Bone Issue:
• The All On 4™ technique has given patients with oral bone health issues, a better choice. In the past, a lack of upper jaw bone (frequently caused by sinus issues or bone loss) 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.
• But the All On 4™ technique has made a huge difference. And this is great news for patients with Osteoporosis or a lack of jaw bone.
• For patients suffering with Osteoporosis, they often think that they’re not candidates for dental implants due to their poor quality bone. And in the past, that was definitely true. But because All On 4™ eliminates the need for bone grafting, patients suffering from osteoporosis are usually able to have the All on 4 procedure.
• The same is true for patients who have severely resorbed upper jaws. The Zygomatic implants are a great option. These longer implants anchor to the underside of the cheekbones through the sinus space, bypassing the need to rely on the jaw bone as the sole source of support.
• These innovative options can typically circumvent the need for invasive bone grafting procedures all together.
