Complete Tooth Replacement with Fewer Implants

All-On-4 Implants – Englewood Cliffs, NJ

Missing most or all of your teeth, don’t want dentures, or been told traditional implants aren’t an option? All-on-4®All-On-4 Implants Effective Solutions For Tooth Loss​​ dental implants may be a great fit.

With All-on-4, just four strategically placed implants support a full arch of fixed teeth. The back two implants are placed at an angle to anchor into the strongest part of your jawbone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. In many cases, a temporary full arch of teeth can be attached the same day, so you leave with a new smile while the implants heal. After about six months, your custom permanent teeth are placed and you can return to a normal diet.

 

How All-on-4® Works

  • Four implants are placed in the jaw (two straight in front, two angled in the back).

  • These posts integrate with your strongest bone, even if you’ve had bone loss.

  • A temporary full-arch bridge is secured right away, so you don’t go without teeth.

  • Once healing is complete, your final, custom-crafted bridge is attached.

 

Are All-on-4 Dental Implants Right for Me?

All-on-4 is often ideal for patients who:

  • Are missing most or all teeth on the upper or lower arch

  • Have been told they don’t have enough bone for traditional implants

  • Are in generally good oral and overall health

Because All-on-4 relies on the thicker bone in the front of the jaw, many patients who can’t get conventional implants may still qualify.

 

Benefits of All-on-4® vs. Traditional Implants

All-on-4 offers the advantages of dental implants with added convenience:

  • Fixed replacement teeth that can last decades with proper care

  • Strong bite, restoring much of your natural chewing power

  • No slipping or clicking like traditional dentures

  • Helps keep your jawbone stimulated and healthy

  • Fewer implants and typically faster treatment compared to full-mouth traditional implants

Dentures Secured by Dental Implants (Overdentures)

You Have an Options. Dentures secured by Implants (Overdentures) are held in place not just by the gums, but by either a few remaining teeth or by metal posts that are implanted in the jawbone.

Overdentures attach to a few remaining teeth or — more frequently — implants in the gums. To fit implant-supported overdentures, the dentist inserts metal posts into the jawbone. The denture snaps onto extensions that protrude from the gums.

The procedure to fit implant-supported dentures involves dental surgery and may take up to six months to complete. To fit snap-on dentures, Dr Lee will perform a surgical procedure to insert implants into the jawbone. The implants look like small, metal cylinders or screws. Over the next two to six months, the bone grows around the implants and they become firmly embedded. During this time, the patient can wear immediate dentures.

Many patients undergo a second surgery, in which the dentist attaches a locator to the implants. These locators protrude from the gums and serve as the bases for the dentures. After approximately a two-week healing period, the denture can be attached to the locators. Some locators allow the patient to snap the dentures on and off, and others permanently fix the replacement teeth to the implants.

In some cases, you may be able to have a single procedure that encompasses the placement of both the implant posts and the locators. Make an appointment to see if this option is suitable for you.
