Missing a tooth? Think about implants

Dental Implant Consultation

It is important to have a dental exam to see if you are a good candidate for dental implants. A medical, dental and radiographic exam is needed. Jaws are examined to see if you have adequate bone to receive implants. Your gums are also evaluated to determine if you have periodontal disease and to make sure that healthy and stable bone and gums will be surrounding them future implant. Gum treatment may be needed prior to dental implant therapy.

During your consultation the following will be required:

Medical Evaluation.

What is the surgery All-on-4®?

All-on-4® is a surgical and oral rehabilitation technique which objective is to replace all teeth (all) on top of four (on-4) implants on the same day. There are various causes for a patient to loose teeth either on the upper maxilla or the mandible. Among these we find caries, fractured teeth and periodontal or gum disease.

By definition the All-on-4 ® technique must have the following characteristics:

It features 4 implants that support a fixed restoration, a restoration that cannot be removed from the patient mouth.
Angled implants especially the most posterior ones to:
- Avoid anatomical structures such as the maxillary sinuses (upper maxilla) and the mental nerve in the mandible.
- To be able to restore the posterior teeth as far back as possible (Antero-Posterior spread)
The fixed restoration must be installed the same day that the implants area surgically placed or within 24 hours. (Immediate load).

What advantages does this technique offer when it is compared to conventionally placed implants?

This technique was developed by an implant company called Nobel® although some other companies have protocols and similar names such as all-on-X, full arch reconstructions, teeth in day, etc.

Avoid bone-grafting procedures: The angled implants help to avoid anatomical structures such as the maxillary sinus, which is located in the upper maxilla on the posterior aspect. When multiple teeth are lost in this zone and with the pass of time, these maxillary sinuses that are empty spaces lacking good and firm bone to will have the tendency of moving inferiorly. Making implant surgery in these areas difficult unless bonegrafting procedures are done before. With the All-on-4® Dr. Abril offers to his patients implants without the need of grafting.

Shortening the time form the implant surgery to the restoration: When a dental implant is placed in a bone that has not been grafted, then we will increase the stability of that implant that has recently been placed and the (temporary) restoration can be placed the same day of the surgery. The conventional technique used in the past was to use bone grafting techniques followed by 3-4 months of healing then an implant was surgically placed and then another 3-4 months before the fixed restoration was installed.
