Diagnosis: If you're considering getting All-on-4 dental implants, it's crucial to make sure you're a good candidate for the procedure. This is where diagnosis and treatment planning come into play. We'll perform a complete examination of your mouth, including taking dental X-rays to evaluate the jawbone and other underlying structures. Additionally, we'll discuss your medical history and current health problems to determine the best course of action. By doing this, we can ensure our treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs, giving you the best chance for a successful outcome.
Placement: All-on-4 is a revolutionary dental implant treatment that replaces all of your teeth using just four implants. These implants are strategically placed in your jawbone and are designed to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Removing any healthy teeth in the way of these implants is crucial to ensure a successful and long-lasting All-on-4 treatment. So, if you're considering this innovative treatment, make sure to follow your dentist's advice and have any necessary teeth extracted before getting your All-on-4 implants.
Final Steps: After the implants are placed, the final adjustments and follow-up appointments are crucial to ensure proper healing and success of the procedure. Abutments will be placed and your custom-made teeth will be connected. Take it easy for a few days after the procedure and use ice packs to reduce any swelling. It's important to follow your dentist's post-surgery instructions, which may include medications for pain and to prevent infections. Give yourself three to six months for proper healing, and during that time, stick to a soft-food diet to avoid any discomfort. With the all-on-4 treatment, you can enjoy a beautiful, natural-looking smile without the worry of missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures.
Two amazing tooth replacement solutions in dentistry are dentures and all-on-4 implants. These revolutionary procedures have quite a number of similarities, including multiple tooth replacements at once and the need for dental implants. At City Dental of Wellington, these two solutions differ greatly in terms of patients' preferences. The main difference between the two lies in their permanence. Many patients prefer dentures, which are removable, and as such, require frequent and careful cleaning. In contrast, all-on-4 implants are more permanent and should be treated just like natural teeth. Regardless of your preferences, City Dental of Wellington offers top-notch solutions for all your dental needs.
