What if we could not only support a full row of new teeth with dental implants, but we could do so in only one visit? Same-day dental implant prosthetics are possible with the All-On-Four system! In today’s blog, your West Allis, WI, dentist talks about how we secure a new smile with All-On-Four in only one sitting.
The Impact of Advanced Tooth Loss
When you begin to lose large numbers of your natural teeth, you need to see our team to talk about your dental prosthetic options. Missing teeth could impact how you eat, limiting meal options and nutritional intake. Lost teeth also impact how clearly you speak, and could cause embarrassment in social situations, harming your quality of life as you avoid interacting with others. As the body stops sending doses of calcium and phosphorus to the area around the missing roots, the jawbone erodes to cause further tooth loss and an older appearance too. But we can replace your lost teeth, and at the same time preserve your facial structure and youthful features, with implant-supported All-On-Four smiles.
The All-On-Four Process
Traditional dental implant dentures rely on between six and eight posts per arch. If your jaw has weakened due to tooth loss, you may need surgical procedures like grafting or a sinus lift to ensure you can support these posts. But with All-On-Four, we only need four unique dental implant posts per arch, placed at the right angles, positions, and depths to support new teeth and stimulate jawbone growth to prevent the loss of mass and density in your smile. Since these will require less structure for support, you could receive them even if you lost mass and density in some cases, no need for grafting or a sinus lift.
Securing Your New Teeth
When your posts are in place, we will attach a full set of new teeth in the same visit. These will be made from ceramic and able to handle your daily bite forces and pressures. We also shade them to ensure a natural appearance. You will be able to leave our office with a full smile, and eventually enjoy your favorite foods again. Patients can smile with confidence again!

Make this summer the time you finally tackle your missing teeth so you can smile with confidence and enjoy better oral health and bite function at the same time.
