The Procedure for All-On-4 Implants

A thorough examination, including X-rays and scans, is conducted to assess the bone density and structure of the jaw. This helps determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for the procedure. Our dentist in Roslyn, NY, creates a customized treatment plan based on the examination results. This plan outlines the placement of four dental implants at specific angles to maximize stability and distribution of force.

On the day of the procedure, any remaining teeth in the arch are removed if necessary. Then, the four implants are strategically placed within the jawbone. The specific angles of placement help ensure optimal support and integration with the bone. After implant placement, a temporary set of prosthetic teeth is attached. This temporary prosthesis is functional and allows the patient to leave the dental office with a complete set of teeth on the same day as the surgery.

Over the next few months, the implants gradually integrate with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. Once the implants are fully integrated, a final set of prosthetic teeth, often made from more durable materials like porcelain, is crafted and attached.
