A basic dental implant is a small, sturdy, titanium screw that is embedded in the jaw. The implant is typically used to support a dental crown or bridge. Dental implants are one of the best ways to restore teeth such that you feel like you have your natural teeth back.
So, what are All on 4 dental implants? The “dental implants” utilized in All on 4 technology are 4 titanium screws embedded into the jawbone to support a “bridge” or new arch of teeth – the “all” that goes on top of the “4.”
The small titanium screws that are placed in the jaw become stabilized with the surrounding jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Once the 4 dental implants have healed, then the new arch can be secured to the implants.
The end result is a new row of teeth that will look and feel as if you were born with them. In fact, your new teeth will be better than natural teeth in certain ways. They will not be crooked, and you won’t need braces.
Dentist of Bixby Knolls has a lot of experience with All on 4 dental implants. First, we will start with an examination and consultation, where we will take digital 3D pictures of your mouth as well as X-rays. We will then prepare your mouth for the dental implant procedure.
The actual process of placing dental implant plants is a type of oral surgery, albeit minor. The healing process will take a couple of months after the implants have been placed. While the implants are healing, we will provide a temporary bridge. Finally, once the new implants are secure, your new All on 4 arch will be placed permanently in the mouth.
The cost for All on 4 dental implants in the Long Beach area varies based on your unique needs. The total cost will depend on whether you just need a new top arch, a bottom arch, or both arches done. Considering the lifetime value of All on 4 dental implants, the cost is actually very reasonable. Once the dental implants are in place and have healed, they can last for decades, and in many cases for the rest of your life. The bridge that is placed on top of the 4 implants can last approximately 2 decades, and replacing it will be much less expensive, now that your implants are already in place.
