Wondering why implant-supported dentures are so popular? The All-on-4® implant process allows people in need of dentures the ability to wear dentures that are fully supported by multiple dental implants. This process can be used to replace all of the lower teeth, all of the upper teeth or both. Ready to learn more about this implant process so you can decide whether or not it is right for you?
Learning more about the All-on-4 process is a great idea when you are in need of dentures. There are quite a few denture choices available, with some of the more popular choices being traditional dentures, partial dentures and implant-supported dentures. The All-on-4 process supports implant-supported dentures, which means wearers do not have to worry about the dentures slipping out of place, a common denture complaint.
One of the most frequent questions people who are looking into their All-on-4 teeth replacement options have is how long will this process take. This is because the overall process will take longer due to the need for implant placement. While it will take longer for someone to go through the process, the end result is wearing dentures that are securely held in place, giving denture wearers the confidence they want and need.
The information below includes details on the process.
During the first dental appointment, a dental professional will take X-rays and scans of the teeth and mouth, as well as make a mold of the mouth in order to create a custom set of dentures. 3D imaging is used when taking a mold of the mouth, which allows for more precise measurements and allows for a more comfortable set of dentures.
Once the dentures have been made, the next step is undergoing the surgical process to have the dental implants placed in the mouth. A temporary set of dentures will be used until the implants are fully integrated with the jawbone, after which the permanent dentures can then be worn.
Once the osseointegration process has been completed, it is now time to place the permanent dentures in the mouth. This final step can be a very exciting time for those who are in need of dentures, as All-on-4 dentures allow people to perform their everyday activities with ease, like talking, eating and smiling.
It takes anywhere between four and six months for the All-on-4 implant process to be completed. It may take longer for those who are in need of additional dental work, which can add another month or two to the overall process. Those who are interested in learning exactly how long it will take them to undergo the process need to make a consultation appointment with a dental professional for more detailed information.
