The Power of All-on-4® Dental Implants: A Smile Restored with Just Four Implants

All-On-4® Dental Implants are a revolutionary tooth replacement solution that utilizes four (or more) strategically placed titanium implants to support an entire row of teeth (also known as an arch).

This innovative technique offers a permanent, secure, and natural-looking solution to those who are missing teeth or are looking for a full mouth restoration.

By providing a stable foundation and aesthetically pleasing results, All-On-4 Dental Implants transform smiles and restore confidence in those with missing teeth.

How Do They Work?

After understanding the transformative potential of All-On-4® Dental Implants, you may wonder exactly how these implants provide such stable and aesthetic results with only four (and sometimes more) titanium posts. Here’s a detailed look into the procedure that helps restore full functionality and aesthetics to your smile:

Detailed Planning: The process begins with a complete dental examination where your doctor will evaluate the condition of your oral health. Nuvia uses advanced imaging techniques to assess the bone structure and density of your jaw. This step is crucial to ensuring that the implants are placed in the most optimal positions for durability and support.

Strategic Implant Placement: The core of the All-On-4® technique involves placing four (or more) titanium implants into your jawbone. These implants are positioned to maximize the use of the available bone, particularly in areas where bone density is highest. This is what makes All-On-4® a viable option for those who may have experienced some bone loss. Typically, two implants are placed at the front of the mouth, and two are placed at the back at specific angles to enhance support and stability.

Immediate Placement of Permanent Teeth: One of the standout features of the All-On-4® method has been the ability to add a fully functional set of teeth - whether that be temporary or permanent. At Nuvia, we don’t place temporary teeth. We provide patients with their permanent set of teeth 24 hours after the dental implant surgery. 

Healing: Over the following months, a critical process called osseointegration occurs, where the implants fuse with the jawbone, creating a solid foundation. This period is essential as it ensures the implants are securely anchored in place. With Nuvia you can enjoy using your permanent teeth on a soft food diet immediately while your jaw goes through the healing process.

Ongoing Care and Maintenance: To maintain the health and longevity of All-On-4® Dental Implants, regular follow-up appointments are recommended. During these visits, your Nuvia team will check the condition of the implants and surrounding tissues. Consistent oral hygiene and routine dental visits are crucial to ensure the lasting success of your new smile.

The History of All-on-4® Dental Implants: A Graftless Solution for Full Mouth Dental Implants

All-on-4® Dental Implants was pioneered in the 1990s and was patented by Nobel Biocare. This technique was developed as a graftless and cost-effective alternative to traditional implant methods that often required extensive bone grafting and used more implants. 

By using four (and sometimes more) strategically placed implants, two of which are angled to maximize contact with the existing bone, the All-on-4® method made it possible to support a full arch of teeth without the need for bone grafts. 

This breakthrough provided a quicker, less invasive, and more accessible full mouth restoration option, transforming how full mouth dental implants are done for patients with significant tooth and bone loss.

How Much Do All-on-4® Dental Implants Cost?

All-on-4® Dental Implants are a great solution for those looking to restore their smiles, especially if they’ve experienced minor bone loss. If you’re considering a full mouth restoration, you may be wondering how much All-on-4® Dental Implants cost. We’ve made it simple.

How many teeth are on All-on-4?

All-on-4® dental implants support a full arch of teeth, typically consisting of about 10 to 14 prosthetic teeth (fake teeth). This setup is designed to replace an entire row of upper or lower teeth using four or more implants as the supporting structure.

How long do all on four implants last?

Nuvia’s full mouth dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Other factors can impact the longevity of dental implants such as lifestyle habits and bone density. 

Who is not a candidate for all on 4 dental implants?

Individuals with insufficient jawbone density or those suffering from certain medical conditions that impair bone healing (such as uncontrolled diabetes or severe osteoporosis) may not be suitable candidates for All-on-4 implants. Heavy smokers or those with poor oral hygiene might also face increased risks of implant failure and may not qualify for dental implants.
