Beaufort, Bluffton, and Hilton Head SC
The All-on-4 dental implant system takes replacing missing teeth and restoring smiles to a whole new level. While dental implants are individual replacement teeth, the All-on-4 treatment concept is similar but utilizes a single unit bridge fused together that is attached to four implants per dental arch. The All-on-4 implant system is often referred to as Teeth-in-a-Day because the procedure produces results in a single day! No need to wait months to heal or for a lab to fabricate your restoration.
Why Choose All-on-4
The All-on-4 implant system combines leading-edge technology with artistic craftsmanship to create aesthetically pleasing results for replacing all missing teeth on a single dental arch. While traditional dentures have been a simple, go-to option for patients with significant tooth loss, false teeth often limit food choices and are uncomfortable and unstable. Instead, the All-on-4 system combines stability, comfort, and aesthetics with permanently placed dental implants, and an open arch restoration, allowing patients to eat nutritious foods without despair.
How does the All-on-4 system work?
An entire arch of missing teeth can be replaced with the All-on-4 implant system. Our Beaufort implant dentist, Dr. Chris Mohler, strategically places four dental implants along each dental arch where the patient has complete tooth loss. Then, a single-unit bridge is permanently attached to the implants. The bridge only covers the boney ridge of your dental arch and does not cover the roof of your mouth like dentures. Since the entire process can be completed in a single day, fewer appointments are needed, saving you time. Additionally, four dental implants are more cost-effective than replacing every single missing tooth with a single dental implant.
Will I have enough jawbone to hold the implants?
Often, long-time denture wearers or patients with jawbone loss may still be candidates for the All-on-4 implant procedure. The implant placement for this treatment is done in the densest areas of the jawbone. Dr. Mohler determines your bone volume through a clinical exam and dental x-rays. If you would like to find out if you are a candidate for All-on-4 implants in Beaufort, schedule a consultation with Dr. Mohler.
