How All-On-4 Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are a permanent way to replace missing teeth. Often used for a single missing tooth, an implant is embedded into the jaw as a permanent fixture and then a dental crown that looks just like your own tooth is fixed on top of it. But what about when you have multiple missing teeth?
The All-On-4 dental implant process is used to help replace a series of missing teeth in the upper or lower arch of your mouth. Instead of filling the mouth with one dental implant for each missing tooth, only four implants are used to support a bridge that replaces up to 14 teeth, giving you a more cost-effective and efficient way to regain your confidence and smile.

All-On-4 Dental Implant Benefits
All-On-4 dental implants can be used to replace 10 missing teeth or your entire mouth so your dentures can be tossed aside. The result is a smile that won’t budge while you enjoy chewing stability, confidence when going out with friends and a more youthful appearance as the implants fill out your face resulting in less sallowness and wrinkles. The following are the numerous benefits that patients love about All-On-4 implants:
Get a mouthful of beautiful and functional teeth in the least amount of time
Confidence when dining out because your new, teeth stay where they belong
Comfort is one of the most popular benefits, as patients don’t have to deal with dentures rubbing on the gums or sliding out of place
Easy care with daily dental hygiene like brushing and flossing
Enjoy better health with less risk for periodontal disease, infection or chronic inflammation
Improved appearance with better tooth structure to support facial muscles and a gorgeous smile
Save your jawbone with implants that will act as your normal tooth root, which slows or stops the jawbone from deteriorating
Enjoy your dental implants just like permanent teeth with no need for daily removal
Save money with All of 4 dental implants because they don’t have to be replaced like dentures and you have only four implants instead of one for each tooth
Who Can Get All-On-4 Dental Implants?
The best candidates for these dental implants are patients who have many missing teeth or those who require that all their teeth be removed. All-On-4 can be used to replace dentures, and if you have been turned down for dental implants in the past, this procedure may be an option since less implants are used. All-On-4 dental implants work best for missing teeth in the top and/or bottom arches and can help most patients achieve the smile they desire.

The All-On-4 Dental Implant Procedure
Replacing your teeth using the All-On-4 solution can save you time and money. While other implant therapy may require multiple visits, bone grafting and months of healing time, the All-On-4 procedure is more efficient resulting in lower cost, speedier healing time and a quicker route to a restored smile. Here’s what you can expect at Northern Dental Design when you see us for your All-On-4 implant solution:
An initial dental examination will help us determine that you are a good candidate for the All-On-4 dental implant solution
Qualified candidates will get x-rays and dental photos that will be sent to a lab
A natural-looking replacement prosthesis will be created to match your natural teeth
When the prosthetic is complete, we will schedule a visit for oral surgery
Oral surgery will be different for each patient, but during this time we will prepare your gums and begin the implant process
Your comfort is important to us, so be assured that during your initial visits we will discuss all options with you for sedation or anesthesia

Dental Implant Recovery
Even though recovery is quicker than with most implant procedures, you will still need a day or more to recover. Of course, each patient is unique, and Dr Mahdi will offer individualised recommendations for you. General instructions for All-On-4 recoveries include the following:
Arrange a way to get safely home from your oral surgery, as anesthesia may take time to wear off
Avoid using straws to drink beverages
Avoid smoking because it can cause infection or put your implants at risk for failure
Avoid food of extreme temperatures and follow any diet you are given
Avoid moving the lips or mouth too much so as not to tear any sutures you may have
Avoid pressure in the facial area, if you must blow your nose or sneeze, try to be gentle
Rest as much as needed
Follow instructions for all prescribed medications
Swelling is normal and your dental hygienist might recommend placing on an ice pack on the swelling for 15 minutes at a time to help reduce it. Any bruising is also normal and only temporary.
Maintenance of All-On-4 Implants
Your new dental implants are like teeth and so require daily hygiene just like your normal teeth. Continue to brush and clean as your dentist recommends and be sure to use regularly scheduled dental exams to allow our team to ensure your oral health is in top shape while your implants are free of problems.
