Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry

All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 dental implants are state-of-the-art dentures secured and supported by implants that are precisely positioned to eliminate the constant problems of slipping and shifting that often happen with traditional dentures. This creative restorative solution was designed to help if you have missing teeth in addition to having deficient jawbone density, which would require a bone graft. Since this solution only requires four implants, the All-on-4 dental implant treatment provides an effective and successful restoration that reduces the total treatment time and the cost involved. Unlike traditional dentures, they provide a permanent solution, which does not need to be removed, and will feel natural.

Your compassionate team at Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry is wholly committed to providing you, your family, and every patient with comprehensive periodontal care that improves your oral health and daily function. We pride ourselves on offering a safe, comfortable, and relaxing environment to ensure all patients receive the personalized care and treatment that is expected and deserved. You will find us to excel in effective communications, both in listening and sharing examination objectives. With our initiative-taking engagement in the dental industry and the constant innovative technological improvements offered, each exam and corresponding treatment is completely personalized.

The Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

  • The procedure is minimally invasive.
  • You do not have to remove them daily.
  • You will extend their life expectancy if you practice good oral hygiene habits.

How All-on-4 Dental Implants Work

Most of your personal treatment planning is created at your initial evaluation, preparing you for an efficient and smooth procedure. To begin, Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry will take a Cone Beam CT scan to identify all aspects of your jaw, issues like bone density, integrity, mass, or bone loss. Next, we decide together on the desired look of your replacement teeth and your personal needs for your procedure. After this evaluation, a dental lab creates a surgical template guide for us, which allows the team at Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry to surgically place your dental implants precisely in the ideal spots using innovative software. This step also allows the lab to custom-create your restoration that will be placed onto your implants and complete your treatment with the utmost efficiency.

To begin your procedure, any unhealthy teeth must be removed. We then surgically place your tiny, titanium All-on-4 dental implants into your jaw. With the completion of this step, we place your restoration. This set of teeth is usually temporary and will be worn during your healing from the surgery. Once your gums and jawbones have healed, your permanent set of teeth will be placed at the following appointment. The post-procedure healing time is minimal for All-on-4 dental implants, and you can return to your regular activities the next day. For a few months following your procedure, your gums and jawbone will heal and reach the necessary osseointegration. This is the bonding and fusing of your new implants with the bone, creating a secure, stable, and healthy integration of the dental implants into your jaw. The team at Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry will then schedule an appointment to complete your final restoration procedure.

All-on-4 Aftercare

It is important to maintain your good daily hygiene habits, including daily brushing and flossing. In addition to exercising your daily self-care, it is important to complement your efforts with preventative regular visits to Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry every six months. During these routine checkups, we will examine and monitor the state of your oral health and assess how well your All-on-4 dental implants are doing. We can catch and reverse any additional issues before they develop. By maintaining these simple habits, you will prevent additional issues from future development.

Cost of All-on-4

As with most dental procedures, your final cost is determined by a variety of personal factors, like the severity of your specific case, if any sedation is necessary, the number of appointments, any extra lab materials, and what kind of dental insurance plan you have. We will provide you with an accurate estimate once we have completed your 3D CT scan.

Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry accepts most dental insurance programs and will help by submitting a pre-treatment estimate to determine your insurance benefits. If you do not have dental insurance or have other concerns, our team will be happy to discuss other financial arrangements with you.
