There are currently tens of millions of people in the United States who are living without mostor all of their original teeth. Countless more are facing an immediate future of a state referredto as “edentulism” - not having a single natural tooth left in your mouth. The most commoncause of tooth loss is tooth decay and periodontitis: an advanced bacterial infection of the gums,also known as gum disease.

Removable dentures have been the preferred method of teeth replacement for millions ofAmericans because, for many years, the alternative approach using dental implants would takeas many as 12 or even 18 months in and out of surgery. The associated costs of repeatprocedures would also work out to be exorbitantly high. This was until the innovation of a newdental implant protocol designed to give patients newnewnewnew teethteethteethteeth inininin aaaa daydaydayday.

Where’s the catch? There isn’t one!

The picture above illustrates, in concept, how the “All-On-4™” dental implant technique works.Through the precise and strategic placement of four dental implants, qualified dentalhealthcare specialists can provide patients with new teeth in the form of a prosthetic dentalbridge. Instead of replacing tooth by tooth in a series of dental implant surgeries, which need tobe spread out over the course of a year to a year-and-a-half, this entire procedure can be donein just one day, in a single appointment.

That’s right; the “All-On-4™” can give candidates new teeth in a day.

How the protocol manages this is:

1. Through the use of only four dental implants in order to give patients new teeth. This caneasily be achieved in just one procedure.

2. Through the use of 3-D Cone Beam CT scans and sophisticated computer software tovisualize the patient’s unique case and meticulously plan treatment ahead of surgery.

3. The avoidance of bone grafting surgery through the strategic choice of implant sites inregions of the jaw that are naturally more resistant to atrophy and so contain sufficientbone volume to support implants. Bone grafting would otherwise require several months inrecovery before a patient can even receive new teeth.

These key factors, coupled with the incredible advancements that have been made in the fieldof fixed oral rehabilitation and dental implant surgery, and the skill and experience of the oralsurgeons and prosthodontists who make it happen, explain how it’s possible for patients to getnew teeth in a day. Even better, owing to the fewer number of implants and surgeries and thefact that the “All-On-4™” seldom requires bone grafting beforehand, the costcostcostcost ofofofof newnewnewnew teethteethteethteeth isalso greatly reduced!

The “All-On-4™” protocol is regarded as a “breakthrough” in the field of dental implantologyfor many reasons, but perhaps most especially because it can give patients new teeth in just oneday. With only one surgery needed and as little as a few days spent in recovery, this amazingprocedure is helping to rehabilitate America’s millions of edentulous and near-edentulouscitizens. And at a cost that is very affordable!
