All-on-4® by Nobel Biocare in Center City Philadelphia

What Is an All-on-4^® Implant?

At our dental practice, we offer All-on-4 dental implants that can replace all of the teeth on the upper or lower part of your jaw. These implants are ideally suited for patients who want to feel absolutely confident about their appearance and who want to avoid the potential embarrassment that removable dentures can sometimes cause. If you want the convenience and confidence that comes with permanently attached artificial teeth, All-on-4 dental implants may be the right solution for you.

How Are All-on-4 Implants Placed?

All-on-4 implants use a revolutionary technique that allows your dentist to use just four implants to hold each arch of your dentures. The titanium posts used for these procedures are strong enough to support an entire row of teeth with just four attachment points. The angle at which these posts are inserted can also reduce the impact of bone loss, expanding the number of patients who can benefit from these advanced procedures.

What Happens Before and After the Procedure?

For most patients, understanding the procedures required for All-on-4 before and after the implant treatment can help to provide a greater sense of comfort and preparedness. Generally, we will schedule an initial consultation with you to determine your desired results and to provide you with detailed information on the All-on-4 treatment regimen. If you still have teeth on the arch that need to be removed before your procedure, we will also schedule these extractions.

After your implants have been placed, we will provide you with a detailed set of instructions on the best way to care for these dental appliances during the healing process. In some cases, we may be able to offer All-on-4 implant dentures in just one day. If you are interested in this service, please let us know so that we can determine if you are a good candidate for this process.

How Much Does the All-on-4 Procedure Cost?

At our dental practice, we know that many of our patients are concerned about the potential All-on-4 dental implants cost. We work diligently to make sure that our entire lineup of services is as affordable as possible for our patients. Our dental office can accept most types of insurance and will work with your dental plan to make sure that they cover as much of your cost as possible. Our convenient payment options can also provide you with added flexibility in dealing with the expenses associated with your treatment in our office.

Are Normal Dental Implants Different from All-on-4 Implants?

Unlike previous methods for placing implant dentures, All-on-4 implants consist of titanium posts that are inserted at a 45-degree angle. This can provide increased support for the dentures that are attached to them. Because the posts make contact with a larger surface area of the jawbone, they can provide added support even under the pressure of chewing and biting. This can be a significant improvement over the durability and expense of regular implant procedures.

How Do Traditional Dentures Differ from All-on-4 Dentures?

All-on-4 dentures result in permanently attached dentures that look, feel and work like your natural teeth. Most traditional dentures are removable and are applied using adhesive, which can sometimes fail and allow dentures to slip out of place. This can result in discomfort and embarrassment that could be avoided by the use of permanently affixed dentures like those made possible by All-on-4 procedures.
