The process is explained as follows:
At Royal Family Dentistry, our doctor has enhanced the traditional All-On-4 procedure to deliver exceptional results for our patients. We adopt a personalized approach, thoroughly assessing each case and tailoring the treatment to fit the patient's unique anatomy. Throughout the procedure, our doctor will implant four to six implants per arch and affix temporary fixed bridges while the implants fuse with the jawbones and the mouth heals. Once the healing process is complete, our doctor and lab technician will craft the final teeth using zirconia, a stronger and more natural-looking material compared to the acrylic denture teeth commonly used by other dental practices. Zirconia teeth are also more hygienic and resistant to staining, ensuring a longer lifespan and superior aesthetic compared to the acrylic/titanium hybrid bridges typically found elsewhere.
Can I be considered for eligibility?
Many patients, including those who have been informed of insufficient bone for dental implants, can still undergo the procedure. To optimize the use of the strongest bone and prevent interference with the sinuses, a combination of straight and angled implants will be utilized by your doctor. This approach typically eliminates the necessity for costly and time-consuming sinus augmentation bone grafts. Your doctor will evaluate if All-On-4, also known as "Teeth in a Day," is suitable for you during your complimentary consultation.
FAQs
Absolutely! It is indeed possible. However, we kindly ask that you adhere to a soft diet for the 4-month healing period, even though your implants and teeth are securely in place from the start. What does this entail exactly? A helpful guideline is to only consume foods that can be easily cut with a plastic fork. This precaution is necessary because you are making a significant investment that could potentially last for many decades, if not your entire life. By following a softer diet during the healing period, you will enhance the successful integration of the implants into your bone and improve the chances of achieving the best long-term outcomes.
Our zirconia bridge is superior to traditional acrylic All-On-4 teeth in terms of strength and durability. It is essential to evaluate the quality of teeth offered by other dental practices, as acrylic denture teeth with a titanium bar can become stained and may need to be replaced every 5-10 years. Additionally, it is crucial to consider the associated costs, as some offices may initially charge for surgery and temporary teeth, but later require an additional $5,000-$15,000 for the final teeth.
All-On-4 Procedure Timeline:
The procedure typically lasts 4-6 hours, depending on whether you are treating one arch or both arches. Once the procedure is complete, temporary bridges will be securely attached to your new implants. These temporary bridges should be worn for 4 months to allow for proper healing and integration of the implants with your bone, as well as healing of your jaws and gums. This healing period is crucial to ensure a stable and long-lasting outcome before creating your final bridges. After the healing period, we will begin the process of making your final bridges. This will involve several appointments over a 5-6 week period, during which you will have the opportunity to collaborate with us in designing the smile you desire for your permanent teeth.
