A Proven Choice for Cutting Edge All-On-4 Dental Implants Treatment
The All-On-4® rehabilitation is regarded as the most economical option for stable dental implant treatment with exquisite esthetic results. If you have multiple broken, worn or missing teeth, this type of treatment may be an option for you to replace these teeth and restore your smile. This protocol uses a prosthesis which is strategically supported by All-on-Four dental implants that are positioned for maximum stability.
History
The All-On-4® dental implant procedure is not new. Using four implants to support permanent teeth was documented for the first time in 1977. The success rate for prostheses built upon four implants in each arch is the same as the success rate for cases requiring more anchorage. Dr. Gregory A. Pette uses state of the art technology to perfect each individual patient’s needs.
Versatility
The All-On-4® system allows a patient to choose from a wide variety of approaches to the fabrication of their new smile. The final prosthesis can be made in various grades of laboratory materials from acrylic to fine porcelain, always with the same attention to esthetic detail, but allowing for the financial investment to suit the patient’s comfort zone. The beauty of this system is that it is upgradeable. Additional implants can be added later and/or the prostheses itself can be fabricated with a higher grade of materials at the patient’s convenience.
Economics
There is no question that permanent teeth add comfort, confidence, vigor and vitality to the quality of life. Dental implants using the All-On-4® treatment protocol are unequivocally the best alternative to limping through life with dentures. Besides the priceless psychological benefits of natural looking teeth, a fixed smile eliminates lifelong visits for the relining of removable dentures as the gum and bone tissue perpetually recedes. It also eliminates the need for an ongoing supply of adhesive products.
