All On Four dental Implants
“All on four” implants sound interesting & intriguing. Well here you will get a clear picture of all about “All on four” implants.
To understand what an” All on four” implant is, you need to know about dental implants first.
Implant is a dental prosthesis which replaces the root part of the missing tooth.

It acts like root of your missing natural tooth and provides support the overlying crown that replaces the crown part of the natural tooth.
Four of such implants make up the “All on four” implants. In All on four implant cases, instead of replacing single tooth with single implant, your dentist will put four implants is different areas of each arch to replace all missing teeth from each arch. In simple words, four implants on top and four implants on bottom will act as anchors for all the missing teeth. After the implants are properly placed and integrated your dentist will form a denture taking support from these four implants.

Your dentist would have already planned the surgery trough the scans and all.
First you will be given local anesthesia so that the entire procedure is carried out smoothly. Next the dentist will remove all the failing natural teeth and also remove any diseased gum tissue. After all the teeth have been removed and other unhealthy tissues been taken care of, they will start with implant surgery. Bone drilling is done up to the calculated depth, bone drilling is lesser in all on four cases as compared to conventional implants. Titanium implant screws are inserted within the jawbone. In All on Four implant cases usually two implants are placed in the front teeth region and two in the back teeth region so that the forces that fall onto the implants get evenly distributed.
After the surgery the mucosa is placed back to its position and sutured. It usually takes 3 to 4 months for the implant to completely integrate with the jawbone. After this the prosthetic phase begins a denture is formed with titanium base that binds with the implant head.
