What is All on X - Dental Implants
All-on-X dental implants typically refer to the number of implants a patient requires to replace missing teeth or support dentures. For Example, All On Four Refers to 4 implants. The number of implants depends on the number of missing teeth and the condition of the patient’s jawbone. The most common types of dental implants include single-tooth implants, multiple-tooth implants, and implant-supported dentures. Dental implants are made of titanium or zirconia and are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root. Once the implant fuses with the bone, a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to the implant to restore function and aesthetics.
Who is suitable for All on 4 dental implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are suitable for individuals who are missing a full arch of teeth, either in the upper or lower jaw. They are particularly beneficial for those who:
Have extensive tooth loss or are edentulous (completely toothless) in one arch.
Are looking for a fixed and stable solution for tooth replacement.
Want to avoid or replace removable dentures.
Have sufficient bone density and volume to support the implants.
However, the suitability of All-on-4 dental implants is determined on a case-by-case basis, and a thorough evaluation by a qualified dentist or oral surgeon is necessary to assess the patient's specific dental and medical conditions.
How long does All on 4 Dental Implants treatment take?
The duration of All-on-4 dental implant treatment can vary depending on individual cases and factors, but in general, it follows this timeline:
Consultation and Evaluation: This is the initial phase where your dentist or oral surgeon will assess your dental health, take X-rays, and determine your suitability for All-on-4 implants. This step can take a few hours.
Planning and Design: Once you're deemed a suitable candidate, a treatment plan is developed, including the design of your new teeth. This phase can take a few weeks.
Extraction (if needed): If any remaining teeth need to be removed, this is typically done before the implant surgery.
Implant Surgery: The placement of the dental implants can often be completed in a single day, but it may take longer if additional procedures are required, like bone grafting.
Osseointegration: It takes about 3 to 6 months for the implants to fuse with the jawbone.
Prosthesis Placement: Once the implants are secure, the customized prosthetic teeth (the fixed bridge) are attached. This can take several appointments, sometimes spread over a few weeks.
