Northern New England
For years, people who have lost all of their teeth had very few options. Traditional dentures were the most common solution, but frequently have limited success. Traditional denture patients often find dentures to be unstable, uncomfortable and inconvenient. At times, dentures can be painful and may make chewing foods difficult. The other option used to involve multiple implants, usually with bone grafts, over several months and many appointments with your oral surgeon and implant dentist.
Fortunately, advances in implant dentistry have resulted in a new and improved solution for our patients at Lifestyle Dental Implant Associates in the Auburn, Maine area. With the All-on-4 treatment option, we can give you a permanent replacement upper and/or lower restoration in as few as two visits. It is convenient and affordable. Best of all, after your All-on4 treatment, you can get back to eating your favorite foods while eliminating the hassles of dentures.
An Efficient Treatment Option
With the unique All-on-4 treatment, Dr. Beebe or Dr. Doss can replace your missing teeth with a full dental bridge supported by only four dental implants. The state-of-the-art All-on-4 dental implant solution reduces the need for bone graft surgery and positions the implants for maximum stability so the replacement teeth are permanent and trouble free. With fewer implants, the overall treatment time is reduced and our patients don’t have to suffer with uncomfortable dentures during an extended treatment period.
Our dentists usually place temporary teeth on the same day the implants are performed. These temporary teeth look and feel like natural teeth and are non-removable. The dental bridge is attached to the implants at the time of surgery. As a result, you can lead a normal life immediately after surgery. After a few weeks healing time, our dentists will replace the temporary teeth with your permanent replacement teeth. The All-on-4 procedure is fast and easy and should improve your overall quality of life so you can start eating the foods you have been craving.
Advantages of the All-on 4 Solution
- It is highly cost effective.
- The procedure itself is fast and it takes less time to heal.
- Because the All-on-4 Solution requires only four implants, we are able to make the procedure more affordable for you. Our financing and payment options also help to make it more affordable.
- With fewer implants, we are able to reduce the need for bone grafts.
- By anchoring two of the implants at an angle, we are able to ensure that your replacement teeth are stable and secure, further reducing the need for bone grafts.
- We typically attach your replacement teeth immediately after inserting your dental implants. You don’t need to wait for the implants to heal before attaching the replacement teeth.
- We offer a choice of replacement options including both permanent replacement teeth and a removable option for easy cleaning.
- The All-on-4 solution has been the subject of clinical studies and the tilting of implants has been used for over a decade with positive results.
