All-on-4 Dental Implants in Vancouver WA

A Secure and Comfortable Way to Restore Your Smile!

If you’re missing multiple teeth, it’s time to learn about All-on-4 dental implants. For the right candidate, All-on-4s can be positively life-changing. They provide better feel and functionality than dentures and give you a smile that looks like your natural teeth. At Harmony Family Dentistry, we recommend All-on-4 implants to many patients. 

If you’re interested in learning if All-on-4 is right for you, give us a call. The first step to finding out if you’re an ideal candidate is scheduling a consultation in our comfortable, state-of-the-art Vancouver WA office.

Why Are All-on-4 Dental Implants So Popular?

All-on-4s have become increasingly popular in recent years. One of the primary reasons is that for people with complicated dental conditions, it represents a simple solution. You can replace an entire row of teeth or an entire bridge with just four screws. Hence the name, “all on four.” For a full mouth reconstruction, you can replace all of the top and bottom teeth with just eight screws.

Here are some more of the benefits of All-on-4 implants:

• Beautiful smile: Your new teeth are created based on your input: you may choose the size and shade of your teeth for your ideal smile.
• Improved functionality: With a full set of teeth, you can chew and speak more easily than you have in years.
• Affordability: Since replacing each tooth with a dental implant can be prohibitively expensive, using just four implants is a way to reap the benefit of implants without having to pay for dozens individually. 
• Natural appearance: Prosthetic teeth look more realistic than ever!
• Stability: Because All-on-4 is surgically attached to your jawbone, your teeth are not at risk of slipping around in your mouth like dentures. 
• Easy to maintain: Your teeth are easy to take care of. To keep them clean, simply brush and floss them like you would any of your other teeth. 
• Jawbone preservation: Implants help to stimulate your jawbone just like real tooth roots. By using implants, you can help to keep your jawbone strong and help prevent a sunken look that can develop due to jawbone erosion. 
• Confidence boost: With a full set of teeth, you will feel more like yourself and not withdraw yourself from social situations. 

How Does All-on-4 Work?

All-on-4 typically takes place over several months. After confirming that you are a good candidate for All-on-4, we will digitally scan your mouth and send the images to a laboratory that creates a custom set of prosthetic teeth. This ensures a perfect fit.

Once your new teeth are ready, you can return to Harmony Family Dentistry for the next phase. Dr. Julie Jang will numb your mouth to keep you comfortable during the procedure and extract any remaining unhealthy teeth to make way for your new teeth. She then surgically attaches four titanium posts to your mouth, which will hold your row of teeth.

It takes a few months for these posts to “osseointegrate” with your jawbone.  (In the meantime, you will have lightweight temporary teeth.) Once the posts have fused to the jaw, they are strong enough to support your new teeth and you will return for the final phase of the procedure where your new teeth are permanently installed.
