All on 4 Dental Implants
All on 4 Dental Implants Applecross
Can just 4 implants replace all the teeth on the upper or bottom jaw? Thanks to modern advances in dental implant technology, that answer is a resounding YES.
All on 4 dental implants are designed to replace your entire upper or lower set of teeth and act as a more permanent and natural-looking alternative to dentures.
Traditionally, each dental implant has one titanium screw inserted into the gums.
Then, the dentist places a single replacement tooth to the screw. With All on 4 implants, you don’t need to replace each lost tooth individually.
Instead, a dental professional will surgically insert 4 titanium posts into your jawbone as the anchors. They can then attach a permanent restoration to those four areas for a seamless look in your entire mouth.
The prosthesis will permanently stay in your mouth and look just as natural as your own teeth.

The All on 4 Dental Implant Procedure
It can be terrifying to undergo dental surgery for the first time. Most of that fear is probably due to uncertainty.
Here’s the procedure for getting All on 4 implants.
First, your Applecross dentist will make sure you are relaxed.
Next, your mouth is then prepared for the implants. This involves removing remaining failing teeth and diseased or infected tissue from your jaw and gums.
Then, the dental implant process starts. Titanium posts will be attached to your jawbone.
Most likely, they will place two anterior implants and two posterior implants so the “anchors” can evenly bear the force of the denture.

How long do I recover from an All on 4 dental implant procedure?
Recovery time for traditional dental implants typically ranges from 3 to 8 months, but with All on 4 implants, you’ll likely recover much sooner. An All on 4 system can fuse to your bone more easily than individual implants, promoting better stability.
Will my results look natural?
Absolutely. The All on 4 dental implant system gives you permanent teeth that look, feel and work just like natural teeth. No one will know you have dental implants unless you tell them.
How do I clean my dental implants?
Dental implants should be cleaned like your natural teeth; daily brushing and flossing is recommended. Our dental team will review oral hygiene instructions with you and recommend the most appropriate oral hygiene treatment plan that will fit your needs.
