Enjoy all-on-4 dental implants for complete smile restoration
Patients of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, area who have experienced significant tooth loss may approach their dentist about the various ways to replace missing teeth. There are so many options available to patients today to choose from, including partial dentures, full dentures, dental bridges, implant-retained dentures, and dental implants. With all of these options, there are pros and cons for the patient to consider. Dr. Raynald Michel and his team can assist patients in choosing their options and achieving a healthier, more beautiful smile! For those who have lost many teeth in the smile, the all-on-4 dental implants, or implant-retained permanent dentures, may be suggested as a reliable and long-lasting option.
How do all-on-4 dental implants and dentures work?
Dr. Michel and his team use the all-on-4 dental implant technology to provide a permanent and stable solution for missing teeth. This involves placing four dental implants in the jawbone and attaching an entire arch of replacement teeth onto them. The dentures used to finish the job are more conservative than other full dentures, which often cover the palate and can be more challenging to adjust to. They also function better, allowing patients to enjoy all their favorite foods without the worry of dental restorations coming loose.
What are the advantages of all-on-4 dental implants?
Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip or shift while eating and speaking, the all-on-4 implants function just like natural teeth. They also help preserve bone structure in the jaw, preventing further tooth loss or facial sagging. This makes it an excellent solution for patients who want to permanently replace missing teeth while avoiding jawbone loss that can often result in an aged appearance. All-on-4 permanent dental implants affect more than just tooth loss but preserve a youthful look to the mouth and jaw area.

FAQs
What are all-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are a type of dental restoration that can provide full-arch tooth replacement using four strategically placed dental implants. These implants can support a complete set of upper or lower teeth, allowing you to regain a natural-looking smile and full dental function.
What’s the difference between all-on-4 dental implants and traditional dentures?
Traditional removable dentures only rest on the gums and may be less stable. All-on-4 dental implants are instead securely anchored into the jawbone with a restoration placed over permanent dental implants to achieve a more stable and comfortable fit that mimics the form and function of natural teeth.
Are all-on-4 dental implants right for me?
If you are missing most or all of your teeth in one or both arches and are looking for a stable, permanent restoration, you could be a good candidate for all-on-4 dental implants. We will evaluate bone density concerns, medical history, and other factors to determine if this treatment is right for you at your consultation.
How can I get all-on-4 dental implants?
After a comprehensive dental evaluation, you can discuss your options with us and begin treatment planning. If you are a good candidate for all-on-4 dental implants, the dental implants will be strategically placed in the jawbone and a temporary restoration will be attached. After a healing period, a final, custom-crafted restoration will be securely attached to the implants, restoring function and aesthetics.
What are the benefits of all-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 dental implants can provide numerous benefits. Some of these benefits include improvements in chewing, speech, facial appearance, and confidence. All-on-4 implants can also help to preserve jawbone density and are easier to clean and maintain than many alternatives.
