All-on-4® dental implants in Richland, WA, also known as “smile in a day,” is a procedure that involves using four dental implants to provide a permanent foundation for fixed dentures.
Often referred to as “hybrid dentures”, this treatment option involves the use of dental implants and a custom-fabricated full arch of teeth. With All-on-4 dental implants at Implant & Periodontal Associates Northwest, a minimum of four dental implants per arch are surgically inserted in the jawbone; however, additional implants can be used if you require added stability.
All-on-4 full-arch dental implants in Richland, WA, offer a permanent solution for replacing teeth that looks and feels natural. After healing and a brief adjustment period, your new fixed denture will restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, and elevate your quality of life.
With All-on-4 dental implants, a temporary set of secure teeth is placed the same day as your implant surgery by a collaborating restorative dentist. The streamlined protocol avoids areas of low bone density, with dental implants strategically placed in areas with the naturally strongest bone. This approach often eliminates the need for bone grafting, meaning you can leave Implant & Periodontal Associates Northwest with a functional smile instead of gaps or uncomfortable conventional dentures.
You may be an ideal candidate for All-on-4 dental implants if you’re missing most or all teeth in your upper arch, lower arch, or both. With that said, our periodontist, Dr. Vikas Puri, will determine if this is the best option at your first consultation by assessing the following key criteria:
All-on-4 dental implant-supported dentures offer several advantages over a complete set of dental implants and traditional non-supported dentures. Unlike regular dentures, All-on-4 dentures don’t require relining or replacement regularly, and don’t have to be removed daily for cleaning.
Instead, as is the case with any dental implants in Richland, WA, the whole bridge of teeth can be cared for in much the same way as your original teeth. All-on-4 dental implants also offer advantages compared to a complete set of individual dental implants, because four implants can be supported more readily by existing bone in your jaw. Furthermore, the dental implants are surgically placed at an angle, thereby relying on the stable support of denser and wider bone.
As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Puri has extensive training and experience in various gum-related conditions, oral surgery, and implant procedures. Seeing a periodontist offers significant advantages for your oral health and smile, and is especially valuable when it comes to complex procedures like dental implant placement.
Advanced training, decades of expertise, and state-of-the-art technology help ensure that your implant treatment is carried out with exceptional skill and precision. In addition to being treated by a periodontist certified in administering soothing IV sedation, we go the extra mile to make sure you’re informed about all your options, and you feel 100% comfortable and confident getting implants at Implant & Periodontal Associates Northwest.
