All-on-4® Implants
- Clinical Candidacy: This treatment is generally reserved for patients missing most or all teeth in an arch. A comprehensive assessment, including 3-D CBCT scans, is required to evaluate your bone volume and suitability.
- Surgical Commitment: All-on-4 is an invasive procedure. You must be prepared for a dedicated healing period and temporary lifestyle adjustments, such as a soft-food diet.
- Health and Lifestyle Factors: Your overall health must be stable for successful implant integration. Habits such as smoking or certain medical conditions can increase the risk of implant failure.
- Long-Term Maintenance: Dental implants are not "set and forget." Maintaining your new smile requires a commitment to strict daily cleaning and regular professional reviews.
- Informed Decision Making: It is a significant financial investment. Ensure you have discussed all potential surgical risks and explored alternative options, such as conventional dentures, with your dentist.
