If you’re seeking a permanent and reliable solution for missing teeth, All-on-4 dental implants may be the perfect option for you. At Purley Dental Care, we offer the innovative All-on-4 treatment, which provides a full-arch restoration using just four strategically placed implants. This cutting-edge solution offers the stability of traditional implants with a faster and more affordable treatment process, giving you a confident, natural-looking smile.
All-on-4 dental implants are a revolutionary method for replacing a full arch of teeth using only four implants per jaw. Unlike traditional dental implants, which may require more implants and bone grafting, All-on-4 uses the natural contours of your jawbone for support. The implants are placed at strategic angles, allowing for a secure and stable foundation for a complete arch of replacement teeth. This is one of the best methods for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth and are looking for a permanent alternative to dentures.
Immediate Results: One of the main advantages of All-on-4 dental implants is that they can often be fitted with a temporary set of teeth on the same day as the implant surgery, allowing you to leave the clinic with a full set of teeth.
Fewer Implants Needed: Only four implants are required per arch, reducing the need for additional surgical procedures such as bone grafting.
Stability and Comfort: All-on-4 implants offer greater stability than traditional dentures, preventing slippage and providing a more comfortable experience.
Natural Appearance: The custom-made prosthetic teeth are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, enhancing your smile’s aesthetics and boosting your confidence.
Bone Preservation: By stimulating the jawbone, All-on-4 implants help prevent bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth or traditional dentures.
The All-on-4 treatment involves a carefully planned multi-step process to ensure the best possible outcome:
We begin with a comprehensive examination of your oral health, including digital scans and X-rays, to assess your suitability for the All-on-4 treatment. We’ll discuss your goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
The four implants are strategically placed into your jawbone during a single surgical procedure. These implants are positioned at specific angles to maximise contact with the bone, providing a solid foundation for your new teeth.
In many cases, following surgery, a temporary set of teeth can be immediately fixed to the implants, so you can enjoy the look and function of your new smile while your implants heal.
In the coming months, a process known as osseointegration will happen, whereby the implants will organically join with your jawbone. This ensures a strong and durable bond.
Once the healing process is complete, we will replace your temporary teeth with a custom-designed permanent set. These final prosthetic teeth will be tailored to your exact specifications, providing a natural look and comfortable fit.
Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your implants and ensure that they remain in excellent condition. We’ll provide guidance on how to care for your new teeth to maintain their longevity and appearance.
