All-on-4 implants by Nobel Biocare in McLean

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

The All-on-4 process is an important improvement on traditional implant-supported denture procedures. Rather than using many individually placed implants to hold artificial teeth or rows of teeth, All-on-4 dentures are attached to four strategically placed implants to create secure and permanent attachment points for an entire row of artificial teeth. The careful positioning of the implants is critical to ensure the right leverage and the greatest comfort for these dental devices.

How Much Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Cost?

Dental implants are relatively expensive and may not be covered by most dental plans. If you are concerned about the cost of your All-on-4 treatment, our team will let you know precisely how much you will pay for this treatment option. Dental Care of Alexandria & McLean in McLean can even provide you with payment plans to spread the cost of your All-on-4 procedure over a longer period of time. This can make All-on-4 more affordable for you and your family.

How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?

All-on-4 procedures were first developed in 1998. Dr. Paulo Malo, a dentist from Portugal, discovered that four carefully placed implants were sufficient to provide real support and functionality for a full row of upper or lower teeth. Since that time, All-on-4 has become increasingly popular among dentists and patients thanks to the lower cost this procedure represents over traditional dental implants.

The placement of the implants is the key to secure and stable All-on-4 dentures. At Dental Care of Alexandria & McLean in McLean, our dentists can perform these precision surgical placements to ensure the best possible results for you. By choosing an All-on-4 dentist from our team, you can enjoy the benefits of All-on-4 for many years into the future.

All-on-4 Before and After Your Procedure

Scheduling a consultation with our dentists is usually the first step in the All-on-4 process. At Dental Care of Alexandria & McLean in McLean, we offer convenient appointment times to make scheduling your visit easier. If All-on-4 is suitable for your needs and your dental condition, our team will schedule your implant procedures in our office.

When your implants have healed in place for a few months, our dental team will examine the connection between the implant and your jaw. If the bond is strong enough, our team will apply your dentures to provide you with functional and attractive teeth for a brighter and more confident smile.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dentures and Implant-Supported Dentures

Traditional dentures are designed to be easily removable for comfort or to clean them. By contrast, implant-supported dentures are permanently attached to implants in your jaw and cannot be removed without the assistance of an experienced dentist. All-on-4 implants work in the same way that traditional implant-supported dentures do. They require fewer attachment points, however, to provide stability and functionality for our patients at Dental Care of Alexandria & McLean in McLean. This can make All-on-4 much more affordable and accessible for those who need full replacements of upper or lower teeth.
