Did you know that the smile is the most recognizable part of your face?
Apart from being the first thing people see, a good-looking smile is also a source of confidence. It improves your perception of yourself and makes you more likable.
However, not everyone has the perfect straight-white smile. Some have chipped teeth, some are missing teeth, or maybe we just have naturally yellowed teeth, which are often mistaken for unhygienic.
Whatever the hitch might be, here at Valley Creek Dental Care, we’ve got you covered!
We don't just sell teeth. Our All on Four implants give you confidence and, in just one day, the smile of your dreams!
What are All-on-Four implants?
All-on-Four is a dental implant method used to replace the upper or lower set of your teeth. The ‘Four’ stands for the total number of implants, and since its invention in the 1990s, it’s regarded as the best treatment option for complete teeth replacement.
Basically, with only four titanium screws, you get a new set of teeth, with the best part being they’re functional as soon as the operation is complete. This is why the procedure is often referred to as Teeth-In-A-Day!
Benefits of All-on-Four Implants
Now that you know what all-on-Four is, let's see if this procedure is the right fit for you! There are both functional and aesthetic advantages to going through with the operation.
Aesthetic Benefits
The obvious benefit is that your teeth look better. Having a full set of straight teeth is considered natural, so by going through with the procedure, you make your smile more appealing.
Some other pros include:
Preservation of facial structure
Improved lip and cheek support
Smile symmetry
Stain Resistance
It’s not just about focusing on your teeth; with this procedure, you improve the shape and symmetry of your face. Plus, due to the materials we use in our prosthetics, your teeth are much more stain-resistant.
Functional Benefits
Confidence doesn’t just come from the way you look. It comes from the way you act, speak, and present yourself. With a full set of functional teeth, you instantly get many of the functionalities that you didn’t have.
Restored chewing function
Improved speech clarity
Prevention of bone loss
Increased comfort
Long-term durability
Easy maintenance
Missing teeth and ill-fitting dentures affect speech clarity by causing slurring or mumbling, but with a simple All-on-Four procedure, you can regain your voice and chew your food correctly.
Our implants stimulate jaw-bone growth and are made to be comfortable, easily maintained, and durable for a long time.
How the Process Goes?
If you think this procedure would benefit you, we are here for you every step of the way!
Initial Visit
We want to help you make the best decision, so don’t worry. You won’t get new teeth as soon as you show up for your first appointment.
Before everything, our doctor will perform a simple check-up and recommend that if all All-on-Four implants would be positive for you, we move forward to getting measurements.
We take a 3D image and X-rays for precise analysis and a personalized schedule plan for your surgery.
Next, a complete medical history is needed to evaluate sedation needs and procedure longevity.
Finally, we create molds and obtain pictures and other clinical information to ensure the implants' proper location and placement.
Second Visit
First, we sedate our patient, remove teeth, and place the implants strategically to ensure stability.
Next, a specialized team consisting of a doctor and a lab worker connects the new teeth to the implants.
After this, in the following months, the patient is given time to heal, and we make final modifications to the restoration.
Common Misunderstanding with All-on-Four Implants
One of the most common problems is that the implant procedure is misunderstood. We want to make sure everything is clear about our treatments, so let’s debunk some myths and misconceptions together.
All-on-Four implants are only for elderly patients
We can confidently say that this is NOT the case. All-on-Four implants are an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their appearance, regardless of age or the number of teeth they lost.
Same as traditional dentures
Another misconception is that All-on-Four implants are similar to conventional removable dentures. While both options replace missing teeth, these implants are fixed in place and provide excellent stability and functionality.
Requires extensive surgery & recovery time
Even if the procedure requires oral surgery to place the implants, recovery times and length are minimal, mainly thanks to advancements in our industry.
Expensive & non-durable
Although the cost of this operation may be higher than that of original dentures, the long-term value and durability mean that there are no costly repairs, which saves you money over the long run.
Prone to failure
Rest assured, if you get the procedure done at a reputable facility like ours, these speculations are nothing but baseless rumors.
Conclusion
Your smile is more than just a feature—it reflects your confidence and personality. With our All-on-Four implants, we're restoring not just teeth but confidence.
