At Dental Specialists of Fort Collins, we understand the profound impact that missing teeth can have on both your appearance and your confidence. That is why we offer All-on-4® dental implants – a cutting-edge solution designed to restore your smile with a secure and natural-looking outcome. Our prosthodontists and team are dedicated to providing exceptional care tailored to meet your individual needs.
All-on-4 dental implants are a revolutionary approach for those who need a full arch of teeth replaced. Unlike traditional implants, which may require numerous posts and extended healing times, All-on-4 uses just four strategically placed implants for support. This technique not only simplifies the procedure but also offers faster results and greater comfort.
What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 dental implants involve placing four titanium implants into the jawbone to act as a foundation for a complete set of replacement teeth. This method maximizes the use of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafts. The implants are angled to provide optimal support and stability, allowing for the immediate placement of a temporary prosthesis while the implants integrate with the bone.
Why Choose All-on-4?
The All-on-4 technique offers several advantages over traditional implant methods:
- Quick Results: Patients can often receive their new teeth on the same day as their implant placement.
- Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is typically less invasive, leading to a faster recovery time.
- Cost-Effective: Fewer implants and reduced need for bone grafts make this solution more affordable.
- Stable and Secure: The implants provide a solid foundation for your prosthetic teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
What to Expect
During your initial consultation, Dr. Isra Ahmed or Dr. Ziad Salameh will conduct a thorough examination to determine if All-on-4 is the right solution for you. This will include assessing your oral health and taking detailed scans to plan the implant placement with precision. On the day of your procedure, you will be comfortably sedated to ensure a painless experience. After the implants are placed, a temporary set of teeth will be attached, giving you an immediate smile enhancement. Once your implants have fully integrated with the bone, you will return for the placement of your permanent prosthesis.
