Replace all your top or bottom teeth with just four Implants? The All-on-Four procedure offers an alternative to dentures in restoring your smile. At Pacific Heights Dental, we can permanently restore your dental arch with just four implants.
Tooth loss can be stressful and embarrassing for anyone, but for the 35 million Americans living with total upper or lower tooth loss, that struggle can be painful and debilitating. For many years, cumbersome dentures or extensive implantation were the only options for patients with this condition. But now, a revolution in dental implant restoration offers a new alternative, the All-on-Four Dental Implants. At Pacific Heights Dental we are specialists in All-On-Four Dental Implants in San Francisco.
Traditionally, a dental implant is a titanium screw placed in the jawbone below a dental crown or false tooth. Titanium is biocompatible, meaning that the bone will heal and grow around the implant, creating a robust and secure bond.
A custom crown completes the implant, filling the space left by the missing tooth. Dentistry has advanced significantly over the years and dental implants have come a long way. They are the strongest possible device available to provide replacement teeth permanently. And what's best, they look and function just like normal teeth.
When facing total upper or lower tooth loss, placing an implant beneath each tooth is unwieldy and dangerous. Instead, your dentist will expertly position four implants around the curve of your gums. These implants will be custom aligned with a full bridge, instantly restoring a natural, durable smile. Say goodbye to the tedious cleaning and irritating adhesives of Dentures forever.
Your dentist will first assess if you are a candidate for this procedure. While far less invasive than other methods, this treatment does require some minor surgery to place the Implants. You and your doctor will decide if you are in the proper health for the procedure and recovery.
All-on-four can be a life-changing option for many patients dealing with this level of tooth loss. With your new fixed implants, you'll discover a more youthful facial structure. The Implants will help forestall future bone loss and preserve oral health. You may be surprised by how young you look and feel with your new smile. Contact San Francisco's premier dentist today to schedule your consultation.
When undergoing the operation your dentist will apply a local or general anesthetic to ensure you are as comfortable as possible. If any discomfort is felt following the procedure, consult with your dentist who will recommend the appropriate over the counter medication.
While the recovery time from patient to patient may vary, most people are able to return to their normal routine in 1-2 days after surgery.
With good oral care and regular dental checkups your All on 4 dental implants should last for decades and even your entire lifetime.
The cost of All on 4 dental implants can vary from person to person. This is due to the fact that the course of treatment may be different for each person depending on the condition of their gums and bone, as well as any extractions that need to be done. Pacific Heights Dental offers consultations to help you determine what you need and get any questions answered.
