Dental implants replace the roots of missing teeth, but does that mean you need a dental implant for every lost tooth? Not necessarily. With All-on-4 in Hamden, we can often support a full arch of prosthetic teeth with as few as four dental implants — and you can receive a temporary denture on the same day as your implant surgery! If you are interested in this streamlined process, contact New Haven Dental Group today. We will evaluate your oral health and discuss your restorative treatment options. We look forward to helping you regain a complete, functional, and strong set of teeth.

How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?

Dental implants in Hamden are prosthetic tooth roots that bond with the jawbone and provide a sturdy base for the teeth that go on top of them. During the All-on-4 treatment, we place two implants at the front of the jaw and two toward the back at an angle. This precise placement strategy utilizes areas of the jawbone that are naturally strong and thick, which means that All-on-4 patients usually do not need a bone graft.

You will receive a temporary denture on the same day as your implant surgery. Later, after a healing period, you will receive a permanent set of new teeth.

Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?

Common traits of candidates for All-on-4 include:

Extensive tooth loss in either the upper or lower dental arch
A desire to upgrade from traditional dentures
Adequate bone density in the jaw to support dental implants
Good oral hygiene habits
Fair overall health
No gum disease or other serious oral health problems that might interfere with the implants’ success

If you are not sure whether you qualify for All-on-4, schedule an appointment with your implant dentist in Hamden anyway. Most people do meet the candidacy requirements, either right away or after some preliminary treatments.

What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Implants?

Some of the most outstanding benefits of the All-on-4 treatment include:

Reliable function. All-on-4 dentures provide a strong bite force that can stand up to virtually any food, including foods that regular dentures are not able to handle.
Jawbone preservation. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone and help to keep it as strong and thick as possible. They prevent much of the deterioration that normally occurs after tooth loss.
Outstanding aesthetics and comfort. We carefully design All-on-4 dentures to look like natural teeth and work well with a patient’s unique oral structures.
Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants

In general, All-on-4 treatment is faster and less costly than traditional implant treatments. It is also less invasive because it typically requires just one surgery as opposed to two or more. However, there are some instances where traditional treatment is preferrable. For example, using more implants may provide the strongest base of support possible for your prosthetic teeth. Traditional treatment is also a bit more versatile; it is able to replace any number of missing teeth, whereas All-on-4 focuses solely on full-arch restoration. Our team will help you weigh the pros and cons of all of your tooth replacement options before you decide how to move forward.
