For people who have dentures or are seeking a solution for permanent teeth replacement, an All-On-4 implant might be ideal. Permanent implants allow you the freedom and ability to speak and eat naturally.
If you currently wear a removable denture, can you imagine:
- No more slipping dentures when speaking
- No more struggle when eating food
- No more having to remove dentures every night
- No more cleaning dentures
If you are a candidate for All-On-4 implants, you could have a set of beautifully designed teeth that are permanently attached to four dental implants. That means that your dentures would stay in permanently, feeling just like your natural teeth. All-On-4 dental implants can improve dental health and increase confidence with a beautiful new smile. Dr. Firlik is ready to consult with you to determine if you are a good candidate for All-On-4 implants.
About All-On-4 Dental Implants
With All-On-4 dental implants, four implants are surgically inserted into the upper or lower arch. Once healed, they act as anchors to which a permanent denture is attached. Only your dentist can remove them once they are placed.
The benefits are fantastic! Here are some to consider:
- Permanent denture implants require shorter surgery time and quicker healing than conventional single tooth implants
- Fixed dentures allow a person to eat and speak comfortably and with confidence
- Biting force is much more evenly distributed
- All-On-4 implant dentures are long-lasting and strong
- Maintenance is minimal, and the dentures need not be removed for cleaning
- Only four implants per arch (upper or lower) are required
- Facial features are supported better for a more natural and youthful look
- Optimum comfort is enjoyed because they are a precise fit
As a dental implant specialist, Dr. Firlik has the most advanced equipment and technology to evaluate your bone density so that she can place your implants safely and with extreme precision.
Our Cone Beam CT Scanner for Implants
The safest and most accurate way to place dental implants is to use equipment that generates a 3-D image of dental structures, nerve paths, soft tissues, and bones in a single scan. Our Cone Beam CT scanner does just that. It is used in treatment planning for dental implants and orthodontics. It produces high-resolution images similar to those of a conventional CT scanner with far less radiation exposure.
Dr. Firlik uses Cone Beam imaging technology to provide her patients with the best care available. She can place dental implants with pinpoint accuracy, diagnose TMD and other TMJ disorders, and determine bone structure and tooth orientation.
