All-on-4 Dental Implants in Vancouver

All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 is a unique restorative technique that allows us to create permanent dental restorations for missing teeth. For this treatment, a custom-fitted denture is placed in the mouth and secured to four dental implants. This creates a non-removable arch of teeth that stay securely in place. They make chewing easy, provide a natural look, and help preserve the structure of the jawbone.

The Benefits of All-on-4 Restorations

Many patients like how economical, long-lasting, and quick their smile transformation can be with All-on-4. Unlike dentures, which need to be removed and cleaned, this treatment allows you to have a permanent restoration that does not move. Another benefit of All-on-4 dental implants is that a temporary denture can be placed the same day the implants are inserted, providing an instant restoration.

Who Should Get All-on-4 Implants?

Those with complete tooth loss (on the top arch of teeth, the bottom arch, or both arches) can consider All-on-4 dental implants. If you have some remaining natural teeth, you can discuss options with your dentist. Depending on your needs and the health of the remaining teeth, they may recommend having them extracted and pursuing All-on-4 implants. Due to the strategic angling of the four implants, this treatment can also be an option for patients who don’t have the bone structure to support individual implants that are placed vertically into the jaw.
