The Latest in Restorative Dental Implant Technology
Implants have long been a standard in dentistry. Simply speaking, a dental implant is a prosthetic replacement for a missing tooth that involves attaching an artificial tooth to a titanium post implanted into your jawbone.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire row of teeth. They're durable and long-lasting, and they restore your ability to smile, chew, and speak with confidence.
In the office of Louis Napolitano DMD, dental implants are part of our cosmetic and restorative dentistry services. We also offer All-on-4®, an innovative way to use four dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. If you're tired of dentures and want to consider the next evolution in dental prosthetics, call us today to schedule your appointment.
What Is All-on-4®?
The All-on-4 system is a minimally invasive set of four dental implants that are used to anchor a full arch of replacement teeth. The system is kind of like dentures, only much, much better.
- You care for All-on-4 arches with regular brushing, the same way you care for natural teeth.
- You can eat the same range of foods that you can eat with natural teeth. You'll be able to bite with 70% more force than you can with dentures.
- There are no wires, brackets, or adhesives.
- The replacement teeth are not excessively sensitive to temperatures.
- No one will be able to tell you're wearing a dental prosthetic.
- They prevent the bone deterioration and resorption in your jawbone that leads to the sagging facial features common in denture wearers.
All-on-4 dental implant replacement teeth are ideal for candidates who already wear dentures or are missing multiple teeth. For an evaluation, please call Louis Napolitano DMD to schedule an appointment.
Who Should Get All-on-4®?
Anyone who has lost teeth and wants to have a permanent looking set of replacement teeth will benefit from dental implants. The All-on-4® systems offer people a chance to live a full and healthy lifestyle by replacing the teeth with implants over removable dentures. The ideal candidate for All-on-4® implants is someone who already wears dentures or is already missing multiple teeth. Additionally, this is an ideal procedure for someone that does not have the bone density to support a full set of individual implants, the time to have individual implants placed, or the budget to pay for them. The All-on-4® procedure is faster and more affordable.
Benefits of All-on-4®?
There are several ways in which All-on-4® implants are better than dentures:
- Patients take care of All-on-4® implants in the same way they care for their natural teeth by brushing each day.
- The implants also operate in the same way as natural teeth, so the patient does not have to be cautious of what he or she eats. Along with the fact that patients do not have to remove All-on-4® implants when eating or cleaning the teeth, there is also no need for uncomfortable wires or brackets to hold the implants in place. Even more importantly for patients, the dental implants allow anyone to eat what the heart desires. You do not have to worry about hot or cold affecting your dentures. You also can bite down with more force, which allows you to eat the foods that you love.
- They look exactly like your natural teeth. No one will be able to tell that you are wearing a dental prosthetic.
- From a dental health perspective, it is important to note that when you have All-on-4® implants, it is going to prevent bone deterioration in the jawbone and ultimately restore your facial features by fighting resorption. The process of resorption involves the implants stimulating the jaw to send a message to the body that the jaw is supporting teeth once again. Resorption will help the jawbone to regain some of the mass that it has lost previously.
