Don’t have to Suffer from Tooth Loss
Living in the modern era has some clear benefits. From a dentistry standpoint, one of the benefits is having the freedom from the difficulties and stigma associated with tooth loss. The Periodontic Association of America estimates that 175 million people worldwide, of all ages, have lost one or more teeth, and that this figure will likely rise over time. This has sparked the development of the market for dental implants and replacement teeth. With implants, you can have new teeth that behave and look the most natural possible. The typical implant process isn't always practical or viable from a physical standpoint. The All-on-4® technique may be a preferable option in this circumstance.

What is All-on-4® Dental Implants?
A full arch (upper or lower) of fixed, non-removable replacement teeth can be supported by a full mouth of implants utilizing only four implants using the All-on-4® minimally invasive technique. With All-on-4®, getting a full set of teeth is possible without needing to have several procedures and replacements to get a full set of implants in your mouth. The best part about All-on-4® is that it can usually be done in our office in just one visit while being given a local anesthetic. This is a fantastic innovation that enables our patients who have lost all of their teeth to have a full set of teeth without having to go through several treatments or who may need to have the remaining teeth taken due to deterioration. In both appearance and function, this treatment gives patients teeth that resemble their original teeth.
Who Should Get All-on-4®?
The short answer is that dental implants are advantageous for everyone who has lost teeth and want a set of long-lasting, attractive replacement teeth. The All-on-4® systems give people the opportunity to replace missing teeth with implants over removable dentures, allowing them to lead full and healthy lives. Those who already use dentures or have many missing teeth are the best candidates for All-on-4® implants. A person who lacks the bone density to sustain a full set of individual implants, the time to have them placed, or the financial means to pay for them should consider this operation. The All-on-4® technique is more suitable and inexpensive.
A Brief Comparison of All-on-4® Implants & Dentures
Dentures are inferior to All-on-4® implants in several ways. Patients maintain All-on-4® implants by cleaning them daily, just as they do with their natural teeth. The patient does not need to be picky about what they eat because the implants function similarly to real teeth. Patients do not have to take out All-on-4® implants when eating or brushing their teeth, and there are no unsightly wires or brackets required to hold the implants in place. What's more crucial for patients is that dental implants let anyone eat whatever they want. You don't need to be concerned about the effects of heat or cold on your dentures. Moreover, you can bite down with up to 70% greater force, allowing you to eat the foods you enjoy. Lastly, All-on-4® implants simulate your natural teeth in appearance identically. You won't be able to hide the fact that you're using a dental prosthetic. It is significant to mention from the standpoint of oral health that All-on-4® implants will stop jawbone resorption and eventually restore your facial features by preventing bone degeneration. The implants stimulate the jaw during the resorption process to signal to the body that the jaw is once again supporting teeth.

The All-on-4® Procedure at Calistoga Dental Group
Generally, each arch requires two hours and thirty minutes of operation. Your upper, lower, or both arches can get your All-on-4® implants at the same time. Although a dentist might make it seem simple, the operation is a complicated process that we can finish quickly. The four steps involved in receiving All-on-4® implants are as follows:
The First Step: It is a thorough examination during which we will look at your medical history, current health conditions if you wear a denture, the requirements of your face structure, and any other elements that might be relevant to the placement of your implants.
The Second Step: Usually requires 3D images of the jawbone called CT scans. The scans show the locations of the replacement teeth as well as vital details about the bone sinuses and nerves that will be needed for the implants.
The Third Step: Involves building a computer model of the implants, which we then digitally place into the jawbone in the right spot to provide you with the maximum support from your replacement teeth. If necessary, we can create your new set of teeth and modify the implants as necessary.
The Fourth Step: Oral surgery comes last and is the most crucial stage. After administering anesthetic during the procedure, we will insert the implants straight into your jawbone to hold your new set of teeth in place.
