All-On-4 Dental Implants – Grapevine, TX

A Simple Route to a New Smile

Traditional dental implants are a proven solution to replace missing teeth from the roots up. However, patients missing most or all their natural teeth may no longer have the jawbone density needed to support a whole row of dental implants without a lengthy and complicated bone grafting procedure. That’s where All-on-4 dental implants in Grapevine, TX come in. At Smiles by Martin, we can restore your entire smile faster and with less hassle using this alternative treatment option.  

How Do All-On-4 Dental Implants Work?

The All-on-4 method for addressing tooth loss utilizes four strategically-placed implant posts to support a full arch dental prosthetic. The posts are typically placed in the front portion of the mouth where the jawbone is naturally denser, allowing just a few implants to permanently anchor a full row of replacement teeth.

The All-on-4 placement and restoration process is similar to that of traditional dental implants. Once any remaining teeth are removed, an oral surgeon will place four to six implants in the jawbone below the gumline. The patient is then given a few months to allow the healing process to take place, during which the implant posts will fuse with the surrounding bone. A lightweight temporary denture is provided to the patient during this time. After a few short months, the patient will return to their dentist in Grapevine to have their full restoration firmly anchored in place.

All-On-4 Dentures VS Traditional Dental Implants

Traditional dental implants in Grapevine or even traditional implant-supported dentures could require as many as ten implants to secure an upper or lower arch. In addition, a patient missing most or all their teeth for some time has probably lost a significant amount of jawbone density and may need a bone graft before undergoing dental implantation.

With the All-on-4 dental implant system, however, patients can achieve the same outstanding results as traditional implants with less than half the number of implants needed. With just four strategically placed dental implants, patients can achieve a full smile while avoiding lengthy treatment and recovery times. In addition, All-on-4 implants are usually placed at an angle that maximizes bone-to-implant ratio, helping patients avoid the need for bone grafting altogether.
