Replacing one or two missing teeth isn’t a big deal for many people. Replacing an entire arch or all your teeth, however, is HUGE. At Wahlen Dentistry in Perry, Utah, we offer all-on-4 dental implants to help put full teeth replacement within your reach. All-on-4 implants allow Drs. Jennifer Wahlen and John Torghele restore an entire arch of upper or lower teeth using only four implants for support. This saves time and money when restoring your beautiful smile.
All-on-4 implant placement offers numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options, making it a worthy investment. Here’s what you can expect from this treatment:
Your teeth and jaw play a key role in facial support. When you lose most or all of your teeth, you lose jaw support due to bone loss, causing your facial features to sag or sink. Implants strengthen and support your jaw to prevent facial sagging and help you retain your youthful appearance. In addition, you’ll have a whole new set of natural-looking teeth to enhance your appearance.
Once implants fuse with your bone system, they feel as natural as real tooth roots. Drs. Wahlen and Torghele will permanently attach your new teeth to the implants to restore your smile’s functionality. You’ll feel no discomfort or pain when you bite or chew. There’s also no risk of your new teeth slipping or coming loose. Knowing you have strong, secure replacement teeth, you can eat, speak, laugh, and sing confidently.
All-on-4 implants shorten your recovery time as only four implants support an entire arch of upper or lower teeth, as opposed to six to eight implants needed for traditional implant treatment. Drs. Wahlen and Torghele can complete your all-on-4 procedure in one day and fit you with temporary teeth until your implants fully heal. With all-on-4 implants, there’s no need for bone grafting, which helps expedite your treatment.
With proper oral care, all-on-4 implants can last decades to support your new teeth. When your restorations need an upgrade, they can be placed on the same implants, saving you the cost of another surgery.
Like toppling dominoes, missing teeth can trigger many oral health issues. Tooth loss can cause bone loss, dental drift, uneven bites, gum disease, and more. All-on-4 implants keep these problems from occurring so you can enjoy better oral health.
Caring for implants couldn’t be easier, as they can be brushed and flossed like natural teeth. No soaking or adhesives are needed. But you should see Dr. Wahlen every six months for routine checkups and cleanings.
Longevity, high success rate, the use of fewer implants, and the elimination of bone grafting make all-on-4 implants a cost-effective teeth replacement treatment worth considering.
