What is 4 Implant Dental Treatment?
All-on-4 is a complete and modern approach to placing a full arch of replacement
teeth, permanently. Four dental implants stabilize the replacement teeth using
available bone. The treatment avoids the need for bone grafting. Special supports
allow a temporary set of dentures to be placed. A modified diet is prescribed to
allow gum tissues to heal. The implants integrate with natural bone and six
months later, the final bridge is placed.
This approach involves multiple appointments. There are one or two
appointments just for consultation purposes. The placement of the implants with
temporary teeth are a separate appointment and naturally, there are check-ups
during the healing period. The final appointment is to place the final bridge. Yay!
This is an expensive procedure and while it will vary from dentist to dentist and
different scenarios, it can cost between twenty thousand and fifty thousand
dollars. Some practices make extractions a part of the initial costs, but your
mouth will need a little preparation and that is another expense. Practices can bill
by procedure code per tooth, per jaw, or as a whole if it will make it more
affordable. Most practices are going to work with you on price and financing as
much as possible.
