All-On-Four Dental Implants
All-on-four braces provide a long-term treatment for missing or failing teeth. It fully improves the appearance of your smile and restores your dental function by using four to six screws and a precision-engineered fixed full-arch dental implant.
What Are All-on-four Implants?
If you have a lost tooth or need a tooth extracted, both the tooth and the root are removed. While extractions are sometimes essential, removing the tooth root causes complications such as jawbone deterioration and displacement or loss of nearby teeth. Dental implants are a method of preventing these difficulties by replacing teeth as well as their roots.
Dental implants are small posts that are surgically implanted into the jawbone to replace the tooth root. The tiny titanium post is surgically implanted into the jawbone and then allowed to heal.
During the 3-6 month healing period, your body begins to treat the implant as a natural tooth root, forming bone and gum tissue around it to help support the post. This natural process, known as osseointegration, is part of your body’s natural healing system.
Once the dental implant has healed, an abutment will be attached to it, followed by a dental crown. An abutment is the component that joins the implant to the crown, which will serve as your new tooth.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Many people prefer dental implants since missing teeth bring a variety of complications. It can be difficult and uncomfortable to chew food when it is lacking. As the jawbone deteriorates, the face will appear hollow and old.
Finally, the other teeth will begin to move out of place to fill in the empty space, causing them to lose their foundation. However, dental implants can help to avoid these problems.
