Implants are artificial tooth roots that act like your own. The All-on-4 procedure is a modern alternative to traditional implant techniques. It uses four implants to secure an entire arch of teeth. When you visit Packard Dental, you benefit from the experience of third-generation dentist, Dr. Matt Packard. He and Dr. Joy will work with you to determine if this teeth replacement option suits you.
Here is what you can expect:
- Preparation – Your dentists will take digital X-rays and 3-D scans of your mouth. This enables us to determine precisely where implants should be located for the best possible results.
- Placement – We’ll have everything planned when you come in for your appointment. Although we will numb your mouth with local anesthesia, sedation is also available. You’ll have your choice of several methods. Your dentists will place four implants per arch and attach a temporary set of teeth to them.
- Recovery – You will be able to smile freely with your temporary teeth and use them to eat many foods during your recovery. As they heal, your implants fuse to the bone to provide a strong foundation for your new teeth.
- Permanent Smile – When it’s time, you’ll return to our office for your customized dental restoration. You’ll enjoy a feel and function that is similar to natural teeth.
