What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?

Welcome to our channel! In today's video, Dr. Heath Coleman from Secure Dentures and Implants in Tulsa, Oklahoma is here to discuss a revolutionary dental solution for those who have experienced significant tooth loss: All-on-4 dental implants, also known as Secure Smile.

What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants provide a full-arch restoration using just four strategically placed implants to support a complete set of replacement teeth. This innovative approach is designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both arches, offering a more efficient and effective solution compared to traditional implants, which require one implant per missing tooth.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

There are numerous advantages to choosing the All-on-4 or Secure Smile system:

Cost-Effective: Fewer implants mean lower costs, making it a budget-friendly option.

Same-Day Results: Many patients can leave the office with a temporary set of teeth on the same day as their procedure.

Stability and Functionality: All-on-4 implants provide excellent stability, enabling you to eat and speak normally without the discomfort of traditional dentures.

How Does the All-on-4 Procedure Work? Dr. Coleman walks us through the All-on-4 procedure step-by-step:

Initial Consultation: It begins with a comprehensive consultation, including X-rays and 3D imaging to assess your jawbone and create a tailored treatment plan.

Implant Placement: On the day of the surgery, four implants are inserted into the jawbone—two vertically and two angled back to maximize support.

Temporary Teeth: After placing the implants, a temporary bridge is attached, allowing you to leave with a functional smile while healing occurs.

Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants integrate with the jawbone, ensuring a stable foundation.

Final Restoration: Once healed, the temporary bridge is replaced with a custom-made permanent prosthesis that seamlessly resembles natural teeth.

Success Rates and Important Considerations
All-on-4 implants boast a success rate exceeding 95%. However, maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups is crucial for long-term success.

Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
Patients of various ages and backgrounds may qualify for All-on-4 implants, particularly those with significant tooth loss or those seeking alternatives to traditional dentures. An in-depth evaluation is essential to determine if this option is right for you.

Conclusion and Next Steps
