The Procedure

How It Works

The procedure involves extracting any remaining teeth, inserting 4–6 implants per arch, and securing a low-profile bridge to those implants. The implants are carefully placed to avoid the sinuses, eliminating the necessity for costly bone grafts and extended recovery times.

Our skilled doctor at Gresham Advanced Dentistry has personalized the traditional All-On-4 procedure to enhance outcomes for our patients. Each case is carefully evaluated and treatment is customized to fit the patient’s unique anatomy. During the procedure, four to six implants are placed per arch and temporary fixed bridges are installed while the mouth heals.

Once the healing is complete, our doctor and lab technician will create the final teeth using zirconia, a stronger and more natural-looking material than acrylic denture teeth. Zirconia is also more hygienic and stain-resistant, resulting in longer-lasting and aesthetically superior teeth compared to acrylic/titanium hybrid bridges commonly used elsewhere.

Caring for Your Smile

Caring for Your All-On-4 Teeth

Taking care of your teeth, including All-On-4 teeth and implants, is a simple yet crucial task. Just like natural teeth, it is important to brush and floss regularly. Use a soft bristle toothbrush to brush your bridges and clean underneath them with a water flosser like WaterPik, multiple times a day.

To reduce the risk of complications with dental implants, it is recommended to avoid smoking. Diabetics should also be cautious as they are more prone to complications. Properly managing diabetes is key for the long-term success of your implants. It is also essential to schedule regular visits to your dentist for check-ups on your new implant teeth throughout the year.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this procedure unique is the ability to immediately attach your implants by incorporating your new teeth, creating an implant bridge that securely connects all the implants together. This strong connection prevents any potential movement among the implants that could lead to early failure. Essentially, the implants and bridge work together to provide mutual support.

Made from titanium, the same material used in artificial hip and knee joints, your dental implants will seamlessly fuse with your jawbone, promoting natural growth and attachment over time.

For individuals with limited bone, there is a specialized solution available, perfect for those who have been told they do not have enough bone for implants. The implants are carefully placed to avoid the sinuses, eliminating the necessity for costly bone grafts and extended recovery times. We’ll evaluate your case at your consultation.
