A full upper and/or lower arch reconstruction can be comfortably performed under IV sedation in ONE visit with the All-On-4™ Dental Implant Procedure. This procedure uses four implants with the back implants tilted to increase the bone-to-implant contact, which enables the "immediate load" of the replacement teeth.
THE DIAGNOSTIC PHASE At the first visit, hi-resolution photos, digital x-rays, a 3D CAT scan and a thorough clinical evaluation will take place followed by expert explanation of the case diagnosis and treatment options. During this visit, impressions are taken (to make the replacement teeth), and a clear financial overview will be presented.
THE SURGICAL PHASE For most cases, this phase involves the extractions, bone graft (if necessary), surgical placement of the 4 implants and the immediate load of the replacement teeth in ONE visit. Patients typically resume a full schedule of activities within 24 to 72 hours. Follow-up visits are 1, 4 and 12 weeks after surgery.
THE RESTORATIVE PHASE When the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone (4 weeks to 4 months later), the “final” teeth are secured. |
