Dental Implants

For those struggling with missing teeth, traditional dentures have often been the go-to solution – but they come with a list of well-known problems like slippage, maintenance, and food restrictions. The good news is that dental medicine has made incredible advances, one of which is the revolutionary All-on-4 dental implant technique. At Washington State Prosthodontics and Dental Implant Center, we have perfected this procedure, providing our patients with a life-changing alternative to conventional dentures.

Understanding the All-on-4 Procedure

All-on-4 dental implants offer a permanent solution for replacing an entire arch of teeth with just four strategically placed implants per arch. Here is why All-on-4 stands out:

  • Fewer Implants, Faster Healing: Requires only four implants per arch, resulting in a streamlined surgery and quicker recovery.
  • Immediate Results: Often, we can attach a provisional set of teeth on the same day as your implants.
  • Prevents Bone Loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone deterioration commonly associated with tooth loss.
  • Long-Term Solution: Designed to be a permanent solution, offering stability that traditional dentures cannot match.

The Disadvantages of Traditional Dentures

Transitioning from traditional dentures to All-on-4 dental implants can vastly improve your quality of life by solving issues like:

  • Poor Fit and Discomfort: Dentures can cause discomfort and require frequent adjustments.
  • Chewing Difficulties: With dentures, biting and chewing efficiency can be greatly reduced.
  • Speech Problems: Ill-fitting dentures can slip and cause speech to be unclear.
  • Gum and Bone Erosion: Dentures do not stimulate the bone, leading to deterioration over time.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

The benefits of the All-on-4 system are staggering, offering a new route to smile restoration that is as close to natural teeth as possible.

  • Improved Self-Esteem and Lifestyle: A stable, secure smile enhances confidence and allows for a more active lifestyle.
  • Enhanced Comfort and Convenience: Eliminates the need for denture adhesives or special cleaning routines.
  • Restored Bite and Speech: All-on-4 implants restore up to 98% of bite strength, allowing for a diverse diet and clear speech.
  • A Youthful Appearance: Implants help maintain facial structure, preventing the sunken-in look associated with tooth loss.

Is All-on-4 Right for You?

At Washington State Prosthodontics, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine candidacy for All-on-4. Ideal candidates are:

  • Missing Most or All Teeth: Perfect for those looking to replace a full arch or all their teeth.
  • Experiencing Denture Frustration: An excellent alternative for denture-wearers who yearn for something more permanent and comfortable.
  • In Need of Bone Grafting Alternatives: Patients with bone loss who cannot undergo extensive bone grafting may still be candidates for All-on-4.
