All-On-4 Dental Implants – Midland, TX

All-On-4 Dental Implants Process

The All-on-4 process is similar to a traditional implant procedure, with a few important differences. Instead of implants throughout the jaw line, this procedure stays true to its name and relies on the placement of four implants in strategic positions over the arch. The implants are set at a slight angle in order to take greater advantage of the most bone density in your jaw. For this reason, All-On-4 Implant Dentures almost never require bone graft surgery, which can be necessary with standard dental implants.

Immediately after your implant surgery, Dr. Drisdale places a temporary set of teeth over the implants. You will not leave our dental office without a complete smile! These temporary teeth are specially designed for use during the healing process, which typically lasts six to eight months.

As you heal, those four strategically positioned implants create a solid foundation for the customized and permanent implant-retained denture that the All-On-4 dentist in Midland, TX, Dr. Drisdale, designs and attaches on top. The underside of your denture is outfitted with metal fittings that link securely over your new implants in order to complete your new and improved look. Take care of your All-on-4 Implant dentures with good oral hygiene at home and regular dental checkups and you’ll be able to enjoy your renovated smile for decades to come.
