All-on-4 Dental Implants — New Baltimore, MI
A State-of-the-Art Way to Achieve a Complete Smile
For patients dealing with total tooth loss on one or both arches, All-on-4 dental implants in New Baltimore offer a secure, long-term way to replace missing teeth. This system uses four strategically placed dental implants to secure a full denture, eliminating many of the struggles associated with traditional removable dentures. Because the prosthetic can often be attached the very same day as your surgery, many patients experience an immediate boost in comfort, confidence, and function. At Great Lakes Dental Excellence, we’re proud to provide a solution that restores your smile and your quality of life.
How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots, anchoring restorations directly to your jawbone. All-on-4 takes this concept further by supporting an entire arch of replacement teeth using only four implants.
The two implants in the back are placed at a 45-degree angle, which maximizes contact with available bone for better stability. This technique requires less jawbone density than traditional implant methods, meaning many patients—even those with bone loss—can now enjoy the many benefits of fixed implant dentures.
Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
If you’re worried you may not qualify for All-on-4 dental implants because of bone loss, you’ll be happy to know the procedure was designed with patients like you in mind! Those with total tooth loss, unstable dentures, or significant jawbone shrinkage often make excellent candidates thanks to the angled implant placement.
When our team is exploring your options, we look for generally good health, no active gum disease, and a commitment to consistent oral hygiene. During your consultation at our New Baltimore office, we’ll examine your mouth, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. Then, we can decide together whether All-on-4 is the right way to replace your missing teeth.
Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 offers life-changing advantages, making it one of the most efficient ways to restore a full smile:
- Permanent Restoration: With All-on-4 prosthetics, you don’t need to worry about removing them for cleaning or maintenance.
- Natural Look and Feel: Your new smile will look like it belongs to you and will feel very similar to having natural permanent teeth.
- Improved Chewing: All-on-4 Implants restore 70% or more of your bite force, allowing you to chew all your favorite foods.
- Helps Prevent Bone Loss: Implants stimulate your jawbone, preventing it from deteriorating due to tooth loss.
- Same-Day Placement: In many cases, your prosthetic can be placed on the same day as your surgery, letting you enjoy your smile sooner.
All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants
Traditional implant dentures often require six to eight implants per arch and may involve bone grafting before placement. Not only does this extend your treatment time, but it can also make your procedure more expensive.
All-on-4 uses unique placement strategies to reduce the number of appointments you need and the complexity of your surgery. The streamlined nature of this procedure reduces stress while providing a reliable path to a bright, fully restored smile.
