All-on-4
How does it work?
Zirconia dental implant

All-on-4

Today’s state-of-the-art implant systems enable a minimum number of implants to support a maximum number of teeth. This means that with as few as four implants, you will be able to support a full arch of fixed, non-removable replacement teeth. This incredible life-changing event can be completed in a single day!
All-on-4 implants offer a number of distinct advantages over traditional counterparts. Other dental implants will require anywhere between 6 to 10 implants per jaw, which can be unpleasant for a patient who will need to have 6 to 10 separate incisions made into their gums, followed by the same number of holes drilled into their lower jaw.

How does it work?

Of the four implants used, 2 are fixed vertically to the front of the jaw where the bone is thickest. Like other implants, a hole will be drilled into the bone into which the implants will be placed. These will then be left over a recovery period to fuse to the bone, forming a solid, stable, and long-lasting implant. The final 2 are affixed further back in the jaw, and angled so as to avoid important nerves and arteries. Together these 4 fixings can provide an effective base for the attachment of prosthetic teeth without the hassle, inconvenience, and discomfort of many more implants.
All-on-4 allows for the easy and stable attachment of full arches of teeth, this particular type of implant means that any prosthetic teeth fitted will bit the natural shape of your jaw, feeling much more natural and comfortable.

Zirconia dental implant

Crowns made of zirconia are becoming increasingly common, and they do offer some advantages.
  • Strength
One of the biggest advantages of zirconia is its strength and durability. Consider how much force your back teeth exert on the food that you chew. Your crowns need to be made of a strong material, so zirconia may be a good choice for crowns in the back of your mouth. Also, because zirconia is so strong, a dentist won’t have to do as much preparation of your tooth.
  • Longevity
Zirconia-based crowns fared just as well over the course of 5 years as metal-based crowns, according to a 2017 randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Dentistry. And crowns made of zirconia, called monolithic zirconia crowns, are especially durable.
  • Biocompatibility
Zirconia is the choice of many dentists for its biocompatibility, which means it’s less likely to provoke the body into producing a reaction or immunological response like inflammation.
  • Same-day procedure
Many dentists can make zirconia crowns in their offices rather than sending an impression of your tooth to a lab to have a crown made. Then, they can cement the crown into your mouth in a single visit.
