All on 4 What Are All-on-4 Implants?The All-on-4 method uses four strategically placed dental implants to maximize the available jawbone. This allows more people to qualify for the amazing benefits dental implants provide. While the All-on-4 method has all of the same benefits as traditional dental implants, including bone health benefits, there are a few differences that make them an excellent dental option for some patients. No Bone Grafting NeededTraditional implants require sufficient bone tissue for a strong foundation. This means patients with existing bone loss often do not qualify for dental implants unless they undergo bone grafting. Using the All-on-4 method, our Scottsdale dentists can place four implants at strategic angles to maximize the existing bone material without bone grafting. Immediate RestorationTraditional dental implants typically require three to six months of healing time for the implants to fuse with the jaw, a process called osseointegration. All-on-4 dental implants allow your dentist to place either a permanent or temporary set of dentures on the same day as surgery. Less InvasiveBecause All-on-4 implants only require four implants per arch, it is less invasive. Traditional implants for complete tooth loss typically require six or even eight implants per arch. Fewer implants mean reduced healing time. Can Be Less ExpensiveAgain, because the All-on-4 method only needs four implants per arch, less time and material are needed. Fewer implants can reduce the overall cost of your treatment. What Are All-on-X Implants?Similar to All-on-4, All-on-X offers a more advanced approach to dental implant placement. In these cases, six implants are placed on the top arch, while four are placed on the bottom. This is a great option for patients who need extra stability. Our skilled dentists will evaluate your mouth and bone health to craft a custom treatment plan and give you the best possible chance of success. See the All-on-4 DifferenceThe All-on-4 implant method requires only four implants along the dental arch, instead of the six to eight needed for traditional implant-supported dentures.

Candidates for All-on-X & All-on-4You may be a good candidate for these dental implant techniques if you: Are In Good HealthSome health issues can affect how your body heals.

Are Committed to Good Oral HealthYou must be free from oral health concerns such as gum disease. This ensures a strong foundation for your implants. Our Scottsdale dental office offers comprehensive treatments to help you reach and maintain good oral health. Are Missing Most of Your Natural TeethAll-on-4 dental implants support a full set of dentures along one or both dental arches. This method is best for patients suffering from extensive tooth loss. If you are only missing one tooth or a few teeth, other restorations may be a better option for you. Have Existing Bone LossPatients suffering from existing jawbone loss can benefit from this method. Your dentist will place two implants at strategic angles to maximize the bone material. However, those with significant bone loss may still require bone grafting before implant placement.

The All-on-4 & All-on-X Implant Timeline1. ConsultationDuring your initial consultation at our dentistry office in Scottsdale, AZ, your dentist will examine your mouth and discuss your concerns to determine if the All-on-4 method is the best treatment for you. 2. ImpressionsUsing digital technology, your dentist will take impressions of your mouth so that your custom dentures can be crafted. 3. Sedation/AnestheticOur Scottsdale dental practice offers sedation options to help patients relax in the dental chair. Your dentist will discuss your options during your initial consultation. 4. Implant PlacementIn a surgical procedure, your dentist will make small incisions in the gums before placing the dental implants directly into your jaw. Our dentists use 3D CT scans and surgical guides to ensure the precise placement of your implants. 5. RestorationIn some cases, the permanent dentures are secured to the implants. But most patients will require a temporary to be placed first. 6. HealingOver the next several months, your implants will fuse to your jawbone. Your dentist will provide you with all the information you need to remain comfortable as you heal. Caring for Your Implants and DenturesCaring for your implants and dentures is easy. Because your dentures are secured to the implants, you will not need to remove them. Instead, treat your dentures like natural teeth. Brush and floss twice a day and continue to visit your dentist regularly to maintain your new smile and oral health. A water flosser or floss threader can help clean under the restoration. With proper care, your dental implants will last a lifetime, while your dentures can last 15 years or more. Frequently Asked QuestionsAbout All-on-4 Dental Implants in Scottsdale
