Today, we’re excited to dive into a revolutionary dental treatment that’s changing lives – the All-on-4 treatment, also known as ‘Same Day Teeth’. At Solutions Dental Clinic, we’re proud to offer this innovative solution to our patients who are looking to replace a full arch of teeth quickly and effectively. Let’s explore what All-on-4 is all about and why it might be the perfect solution for you.
All-on-4 is a groundbreaking technique that allows us to replace an entire arch of teeth (upper or lower) using just four dental implants. The name ‘All-on-4’ comes from the idea that ‘all’ teeth are supported ‘on four’ implants. Here’s what makes it special:
1. Speed: The entire procedure can often be completed in a single day, hence the name ‘Same Day Teeth’.
2. Efficiency: It uses only four implants, compared to traditional methods that might use six or more.
3. Bone Preservation: The technique often eliminates the need for bone grafting, even in patients with bone loss.
4. Immediate Results: Patients leave with a full set of fixed, functional teeth on the day of surgery.
The All-on-4 technique involves:
1. Strategic Implant Placement: Two implants are placed vertically at the front of the jaw, and two are placed at an angle at the back. This angled placement maximises use of available bone.
2. Immediate Loading: A fixed bridge is attached to the implants on the same day as the surgery.
3. Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants integrate with your jawbone, providing a strong, stable foundation for your new teeth.
4. Final Restoration: Once healing is complete, we replace the initial fixed bridge with a final, permanent prosthesis.
When you choose All-on-4 at our Winchester clinic, here’s what you can expect:
1. Initial Consultation: Our experienced team, led by Dr. Riz Syed, will assess your suitability for All-on-4. We’ll take 3D scans of your jaw and discuss your options.
2. Treatment Planning: We’ll create a detailed treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
3. Preparation: We’ll prepare your mouth for the procedure, which may involve extracting any remaining teeth.
4. Implant Surgery: The four implants are placed using a minimally invasive technique.
5. Same-Day Teeth: We’ll fit you with a temporary but functional set of teeth on the same day as your surgery.
6. Healing Period: Over the next few months, you’ll return for check-ups as your implants integrate with your jawbone.
7. Final Prosthesis: Once healing is complete, we’ll replace your temporary teeth with a permanent, custom-made prosthesis.
All-on-4 offers numerous advantages:
1. Quick Results: Walk in with missing teeth, walk out with a full smile in just one day.
2. Cost-Effective: Often more affordable than individual implants for a full arch.
3. Improved Quality of Life: Eat, speak, and smile with confidence immediately after the procedure.
4. Bone Preservation: Helps maintain facial structure and prevent further bone loss.
5. Easy Maintenance: Can be cleaned like natural teeth.
6. Long-Lasting: With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last a lifetime.
All-on-4 can be an excellent solution for many people, particularly:
– Those missing all or most of their teeth in one or both arches
– People with significant bone loss who want to avoid bone grafting
– Those looking for a faster alternative to traditional implant methods
– Individuals who want a fixed, permanent solution (as opposed to removable dentures)
During your consultation at Solutions Dental Clinic, we’ll assess whether All-on-4 is the right choice for you.
