Rebuild Your Smile with Predictable and Natural-looking Full-arch Dental Implants
Full arch dental implants near Toms River, New Jersey, are an innovative solution for patients with extensive tooth loss. This approach uses four or more implants to support a full set of prosthetic teeth. Smile, chew, and speak confidently with full-mouth dental implants at Grand Dental Arts. Drs. Colleen Williamson and Marya Ijaz combine advanced technology and technical skills to achieve superior outcomes.
How do full-arch dental implants work?
When you have lost most or all your teeth, traditional dentures offer a simple and economical solution for replacing missing teeth. Full arch or all-on-4 dental implants provide a more permanent or stable solution for replacing missing or failing teeth because of age, injury, or disease.
The all-on-4 system uses only four implants to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. This technique maximizes the use of the available bone, preventing the need for expensive bone grafting techniques. This makes the all-on-4 implants an attractive option for patients who may be ineligible for traditional implants.
How are all-on-4 dental implants placed?
Here’s what you can expect from full-mouth restoration with dental implants.
- Consultation: We’ll use digital X-rays and scans to assess your jawbone and oral health. We’ll also discuss your smile goals and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Implant surgery: Our doctor will administer anesthetics to maximize your comfort during implant placement. The dentist places two implants in the front and two at the back at an angle. This angulation maximizes contact with the jawbone, providing sturdy support for your prosthetic teeth.
- Immediate restoration: The dentist attaches temporary yet functional prosthetic teeth after surgery. This way, patients leave our office with a functional, aesthetically appealing smile.
- Healing: Your implants will heal and integrate with the jawbone for the next few months to provide a strong foundation.
- Restoration: The doctor will replace the temporary prosthesis with a permanent, customized denture. Your new teeth look natural and function comfortably.
Are all-on-4 dental implants worth it?
Whether you lose one or multiple teeth, you never feel like yourself. The good news is that all-on-4 dental implants come close to your natural teeth, restoring your aesthetics and oral function to near perfect.
Here are the numerous benefits of full-arch dental implants.
- Stability: All-on-4 dental implants are secured into the jawbone, providing remarkable stability when using your teeth. Patients can chew, speak, and smile confidently without worrying about slippage or discomfort.
- Bone preservation: Dental implants replace the missing tooth along its root, preventing jawbone loss that occurs with prolonged tooth loss. Dental implants preserve your jawbone’s height and width, allowing you to maintain your facial structure and prevent sunken-in appearance.
- Natural aesthetics: The prosthetic teeth attached to the dental implants match the natural aesthetics of your teeth. Patients can enjoy realistic outcomes, enhancing confidence and overall appearance.
- Simplified maintenance: Maintaining dental implants is never cumbersome or time-consuming. Full arch implants need similar care to natural teeth, including brushing and flossing. No special detergents are required, making maintenance simple and convenient.
- Fewer surgical procedures: All the implants and abutments are placed in one visit.
