Millions of adults are missing most or all of their teeth, which can lead to a variety of oral and overall health complications. Many patients at Parkway Dental Care in Kissimmee choose to replace their missing teeth with dentures because they are affordable- which are effective, but not ideal.
We recommend a more permanent solution- dental implants. Unfortunately, replacing each tooth with a single dental implant can be out of reach for many people due to the expense.
There is another option: All-on-4 dental implants. This tooth restoration solution replaces an entire arch of teeth with 4 dental implants. This is often referred to as “teeth in a day” because we can usually fit the prosthesis on the same day that the implants are placed.
The All-on-4 Dental Implant technique replaces an entire arch of missing teeth with just four strategically placed implants. Unlike traditional implants, which require one implant per tooth, All-on-4 supports a full set of fixed prosthetic teeth with fewer implants, offering a faster recovery and long-lasting results.
You may be eligible for All-on-4 Dental Implants if you:
Our implant specialists at Parkway Dental Care will assess your oral health to determine the best approach for your treatment.
The procedure for All-on-4 dental implants is similar to that of traditional implants, with the only difference being the surgery. Traditional implants take several months to a year to complete, while All-on-4 can be completed in one day. Here’s what you can expect:
The process of All-on-4 dental implants requires oral surgery. Therefore, there are a few things to consider:
Find out if your insurance covers the procedure or if you must pay out-of-pocket
Make sure that you understand the procedure and what is expected of you
Make sure that you have someone who can take you home after the surgery, especially if you have sedation
Make sure that your oral and overall health is good
Understand your aftercare instructions
Every procedure at Parkway Dental starts with an initial consultation. At this time, we will perform a comprehensive exam including x-rays and other necessary imaging. This will help us to determine if you are a candidate for the procedure and if you need any other procedures such as gum disease treatment, bone grafting, or sinus lift. We believe that the patient should be involved in their treatment, so we will be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have. We will also discuss your expectations for treatment.
Since no two patients are exactly the same, this step will look different for everyone. As a general rule, dental implants have a 95% success rate. However, if you have any dental issues that are not addressed prior to implant placement, you may fall into that 5% failure category.
The most common prep procedures are extractions and gum disease treatment. These procedures may be surgical or non-surgical, depending on the complexity of the extraction and the severity of the gum disease. Other possible procedures include bone grafting and/or sinus lift.
Once all of these procedures have been completed, we will create an impression of your mouth. This will allow the lab to fabricate a custom denture. This typically takes a few weeks.
The next step is to place the four implants. Two of these are placed at the front and two in the back at a 45° angle. The reason the back implants are placed at an angle is to provide a more natural bite force. Most of our patients only need local anesthesia- but we do offer sedation dentistry for patients who need it. We do ask that you discuss this during your initial consultation so that we can include it in your treatment plan.
Proper aftercare is essential for the long-term success of your All-on-4 Dental Implants. Follow these simple guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery and lasting results.
Choosing All-on-4 Dental Implants at Parkway Dental Care comes with a range of life-changing benefits that go beyond just replacing missing teeth. This advanced procedure provides a permanent, natural-looking solution that restores both function and aesthetics to your smile.
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 Implants are permanently anchored into the jawbone, ensuring a secure fit that doesn’t shift or loosen over time. You won’t have to deal with messy adhesives or the fear of your teeth slipping while eating or speaking.
Your new teeth are custom-designed to match your facial structure and smile goals. The high-quality prosthetic teeth used in All-on-4 treatment mimic the appearance of natural teeth, enhancing your facial aesthetics and restoring confidence.
Traditional dentures limit the types of food you can eat. All-on-4 Dental Implants restore up to 90% of natural chewing power, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of foods, including crunchy fruits, nuts, and steak, without discomfort.
When teeth are missing, the jawbone starts to shrink due to lack of stimulation, leading to premature aging and facial sagging. All-on-4 Implants stimulate the jawbone, preserving bone density and maintaining facial structure and youthful appearance.
Since only four implants are needed per arch instead of individual implants for each missing tooth, All-on-4 is a more affordable and time-efficient solution for full-mouth restoration. It reduces the need for additional procedures like bone grafting in most cases, further lowering costs.
Missing teeth and loose dentures can cause slurred or unclear speech. With a permanently fixed set of teeth, All-on-4 Implants improve pronunciation, allowing you to speak clearly and confidently.
Traditional dentures often cause gum irritation, sores, and discomfort due to constant friction. All-on-4 Dental Implants eliminate these issues by securing the prosthetic teeth to implants, offering a comfortable and irritation-free experience.
If you are missing all or most of your teeth and want a more permanent restoration than conventional dentures, All-on-4 may be the best solution. This replaces a full arch of teeth with 4 dental implants. Schedule your consultation with the team at Parkway Dental Care today. We have the experience and expertise to successfully restore your natural smile.
