All-On-4 Dental Implants in Lewiston Maine
All-On-4 dental implants is a procedure that involves replacing an entire row of either the top or bottom teeth while only using four implant posts. This provides many benefits to patients. It can be less expensive than replacing each tooth individually, and it is helpful for patients whose jaw bones might not be able to support that many individual dental implants. All-On-4 uses four implants for an entire row of teeth allowing patients to completely replace their top or bottom teeth with a new, healthy, smile.

How Do Dental Implants Work?
A dental implant procedure requires at least two visits. The first procedure involves surgically placing a titanium screw below the gum line. This screw will fuse with the bones and act as a new root for the tooth. The second procedure takes place months later when the jaw has healed. An abutment and crown are attached to the titanium post. All-On-4 works by using just four posts to connect a full arch or teeth. It is a great option for patients who have lost most or all of their upper or lower teeth due to the natural affects of again.
Are All-On-Four Dental Implants Right For Me?
This is the most important question. Whether due to injury, tooth decay, or just the natural process of aging, it is common for adults to lose their adult teeth over time. Choosing between different restorative procedures including dental bridges, dentures, implants, or All-On-Four implants is a big decision. We recommend making an appointment with a dentist that offers multiple procedures and asking them for their opinion. Different patients might receive different recommendations based on what teeth are missing or damaged as well as other important factors. Implants are often chosen because they are long-lasting and durable. All-On-Four implants are often picked by patients who want to a long-lasting solution to tooth loss.
