Losing most or all of your teeth can make it difficult to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Implant-supported dentures can help.
Our periodontist often recommends the All-on-4® implant technique, a full-arch restoration that relies on just four implant posts.
Find out why Dr. Justin M. Schlaikjer’s patients at our St. Louis, MO, office choose All-on-4 treatment…
Many patients with bone loss have been told that they are not good candidates for dental implants. But because All-on-4 requires less bone tissue, many people can receive implants without first undergoing bone grafting. This reduces the overall treatment timeline.
Traditional implant-supported dentures need to be supported by six to eight dental implants. All-on-4 can benefit patients who have bone loss. The treatment requires just four implants to support a full arch of teeth. During surgery, Dr. Schlaikjer will place the two posterior implants at a 45-degree angle to maximize the stability of your available jaw structure.
With All-on-4 treatment, you can leave our St. Louis office with a fully functional, natural-looking temporary denture on the same day as your implant procedure. This means you don’t have to struggle with a poorly fitting temporary restoration or go without teeth.
As the name suggests, All-on-4 is simply a way to place a full denture on just four implants. Despite its simple concept, the technique offers innumerable benefits.
You may already be aware that a single dental implant can support a crown to replace a missing tooth, but you can also support a full arch of teeth on just four implants.
The treatment concept for All-on-4 was developed by Nobel Biocare™, a globally recognized leader in dentistry. It was first used in 1998 and has since earned high patient satisfaction rates, successfully treating hundreds of thousands of patients with missing teeth.
An All-on-4 will allow you to smile with confidence and eat all of your favorite foods again. It can take years off your appearance and won’t slip out of place or irritate your gums like a traditional denture.
At Justin M. Schlaikjer, DDS, Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, our periodontist can safely and comfortably place your All-on-4 dental implants and a temporary denture in a single procedure, making us a convenient choice.
Because we can perform dental implant placement in-office, you don’t have to worry about jumping back and forth between multiple dental practices during the course of your treatment.
