Elmhurst Implant Dentist
Dental implants have proven to be an effective teeth-replacement for those who are candidates. One requirement is that patients have a strong, dense jaw bone. There is now hope for patients who want dental implants but don’t have enough bone. If you’re in this situation, you should see an
Elmhurst implant dentist to discuss the possibility of getting All-on- 4 Implants.
If you don’t have enough bone to get conventional dental implants, then The All-On-4 TM solution might be your answer. This procedure is ideal for patients who want implants but don’t have enough bone density. The procedure has had a very high success rate. If you’re considering the All-on-4 TM, your first step is to have a consultation with a reputable, well-trained
Elmhurst implant dentist like Derrick L. Williamson, DDS who has experience with the procedure. The All-on-4 solution is a dental implant procedure that was created for people who don’t have an adequate amount of bone. It works by maximizing the use of bone that the patient does have. Unlike the conventional implant procedure, the All-on-4 TM uses only fours implants. This is where the name of the procedure came from. Because the procedure was designed to only use four implants and the patient’s available bone, it does not require a bone grafting procedure. If you are a candidate and decide to get the procedure done, it’s important be familiar with it. Before the procedure starts, you’ll receive a local anesthetic. In order to achieve the best results, the four implants be implanted into the areas where the bone density is the best. Once they are placed, a temporary set of teeth will be attached. After the procedure, it will take about three to six months for the bone to fully integrate with the implant. Once that happens, the temporary teeth are removed, and the permanent ones are placed.
