All-on-4® New Teeth in One Day in South Fort Worth

No need for bone grafting

• Patients who are missing all or many of their teeth will experience deterioration in their jawbone due to lack of stimulation normally exerted through chewing pressure. In the past, many patients needed their jawbone rebuilt using bone graft material before any implants could be placed. Bone grafting would add considerable time to the over implant treatment length, as the grafted area could take several months to fully heal.
• The All-on-4 procedure uses four specially angled and positioned implants to take advantage of dense areas of bone that are present in almost all patients, even in those who have experienced extensive bone loss. This eliminates the need for lengthy and costly bone grafting treatment in most cases, and makes implant placement minimally invasive for most patients.

Superior chewing power

• Traditional dentures only give you about 10 percent of normal chewing and biting power, while implant-supported removable snap-in dentures can increase chewing forces to about 60 percent. Comparatively, the All-on-4 procedure raises chewing power to between 80 and 95 percent of that of natural teeth.

No annoying false palate

• Your new teeth will be firmly fixed to your implants, and do not require a false palate at the roof of your mouth to be held in place. A false palate inhibits your sense of taste and can affect your speech, so you will be able to enjoy your food fully and speak without any hindrance.

Prevention of further bone loss

Normal chewing and biting provide our jawbones with the necessary stimulation to induce continuous repair and regrowth. When teeth are missing, the loss of healthy stimulation causes the surrounding bone to gradually reabsorb back into the body a process known as bone resorption. This loss of structure makes the lower part of the face “collapse” inward, giving the face a shrunken, aged look.

When missing tooth roots are not replaced, as with regular dentures, the bone in the jaws starts to diminish, causing facial sagging and a prematurely aged look. Dental implants can prevent this from occurring.

Traditional dentures do nothing to prevent bone loss, and actually accelerate this process. They fail to provide healthy stimulation of the jawbone. Additionally, as the patient carries out normal activities such as speaking and swallowing, the denture constantly rubs against the bony ridge supporting it, causing irritation and deterioration to the underlying bone that speeds up the bone resorption process.



All-on-4 replacement teeth will provide you with the vital chewing pressure and jaw stimulation that preserve your jawbone, keeping it healthy and regenerating.
