Many patients turn to advanced solutions like the All-on-4® dental implants, for a radiant smile and improved dental health. This innovative procedure not only enhances the aesthetics of your mouth but also provides a permanent and stable solution, in just 24 hours, for people with missing teeth. Kew Dentistry specialises in transforming smiles with All-on-4® dental implants in Kew.
What Are All-on-4® Dental Implants?
The All-on-4® dental implant solution involves placing four titanium dental implants in areas of the jaw with the highest bone density. These implants serve as a secure foundation for a full arch of prosthetic teeth that looks just like normal teeth.
Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and can be unstable, All-on-4®dental implants provide a fixed and permanent solution to replacing missing teeth. The treatment does not require bone grafting, making it a less invasive and more efficient option.
The Benefits of All-on-4® Dental Implants in Kew
- Rapid Results: In as little as 24 hours, patients can leave our clinic with a fully functional set of teeth attached to their implants.
- Improved Oral Functionality: With All-on-4® dental implants you can enjoy immediate improvements in chewing, speaking and smiling.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional dentures, which can lead to bone loss over time, All-on-4® implants stimulate and preserve natural bone growth.
- Long-lasting Solution: With proper care, All-on-4® dental implants can last a lifetime. They are designed to be a permanent solution for tooth loss.
- Enhanced Comfort and Stability: All-on-4® implants eliminate the need for denture adhesives, providing a secure fit that feels more like natural teeth.
- A Boost in Self-Esteem: Restoring a full smile goes beyond the physical benefits; it can profoundly impact self-esteem and confidence.
The All-on-4® Procedure: What to Expect
- Step 1: Initial Consultation: At Kew Dentistry, our trained professionals assess your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and explain the procedure. Using state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology, we create a treatment plan customised to your needs.
- Step 2: Preparation: We prepare your mouth for implantation, which may involve tooth extraction and jaw preparation.
- Step 3: Implant Placement: On the day of the surgery, the four titanium implants are strategically placed in the jaw. We ensure your comfort through sleep dentistry or general anaesthesia.
- Step 4: Temporary Prosthesis: A temporary set of teeth will be attached to the implants immediately, allowing you to leave the office with a functional smile.
- Step 5: Attaching the New Teeth: Once we’ve carefully crafted your final set of teeth, to match the natural colour and shape of your existing teeth, the temporary prosthesis are replaced to give you a seamless, natural appearance.
- Step 6: Post-Procedure Care: Over the next few months, the implants will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, to help manage swelling and discomfort. Our team is always available to address any concerns during the recovery phase.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from All-on-4® dental implants varies by individual but generally involves minimal discomfort and downtime. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, with dietary restrictions gradually lifting as healing progresses.
Long-Term Care
Caring for your All-on-4® dental implants is like caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups are essential to maintaining the health and longevity of your implants. At Kew Dentistry, we provide comprehensive support and guidance for all our patients, ensuring you can enjoy your new smile for years.
