With the number of cosmetic dental procedures at your disposal, it can feel overwhelming to decide which one is right for you. This is particularly true if you’re looking for extensive treatments like full-arch restorations.

If you find yourself asking, “what are All on Implants?—you’re not alone.

Here, we explain everything you need to know about All on Implants so that you can better determine whether or not they’re right for you.

What are All on Implants?

So, what are All on Implants??

As far as restorative dentistry goes, All on Implants are a popular option for those who have lost most or all of their teeth.

As the name suggests, this technique involves placing four dental implants in the upper or lower jaw. This provides a strong, stable foundation for a full arch of prosthetic teeth.

This advanced procedure not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also restores full functionality. You’ll be able to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence and ease.

All on Implants are a more comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional dentures. They eliminate the need for adhesives and ongoing maintenance.

Now that you know what All on Implants are, let’s get into how they’re applied.

Step 1: Consultation & Design

The first step to receiving your All on Implants at Dental Boutique is a comprehensive consultation.

During this consult, our team diligently works to understand your past experiences and goals. This step is crucial.  It allows us to determine if All on Implants  is the ideal solution for your unique situation.

We strive to understand all aspects of your dental background, as well as your needs, concerns, and goals. This allows us to craft a personalised treatment plan.

To start the design process, we take a 3D bone scan of your teeth. This will help us design your smile and finalise your treatment plan.

Please note that if cost is a concern, there are a range of payment options available, including early superannuation access.

Step 2: Preparation & Trial Smile

Your gums and jawbone will need to be prepared before the All on Implants are inserted. Your dentist will remove any infections or diseases from the teeth, gums, and jawbone.

This procedure is performed under local or general anaesthesia for optimal comfort and treatment success. This is generally carried out on Day 1 of your 3-day treatment.

On Day 2, we work with you to design your new smile, considering your unique facial characteristics and preferred aesthetics.

A wax trial smile is part of this collaborative process. This innovative trial smile allows you to visualise and feel your new smile. It gives you the opportunity to change the shape, size, and colour of your new set of teeth, ensuring you love every aspect of your new smile.

Step 3: Final Insert

Day 3 marks the insertion of your meticulously designed All on Implants.

Once complete, we will do a final review of your new smile. Adjustments can still be made at this stage to guarantee your total satisfaction.

At Dental Boutique, we don’t finalise your treatment until you are completely satisfied with the result. We want you to enjoy your new smile for a lifetime.

What are the Pros and Cons of All on Implants?

So, what are the pros and cons of All on Implants?

This treatment provides a wide range of benefits, such as immediate results, shorter treatment times, and the potential for cost reduction.

The All on Implants treatment often uses the existing bone structure, which might prevent the need for bone grafting. Bone grafting is a common prerequisite for traditional implant procedures.

As you can imagine, this helps minimise surgical trauma, reduces recovery time, and offers a more immediate solution to tooth loss.

However, despite these considerable wins, All on Implants is not without its limitations and potential drawbacks.

One of the primary concerns is that if one implant fails, it can risk the stability and functionality of the whole prosthesis, possibly leading to additional procedures.

This is why it’s important to go to a skilled dentist who has experience with this type of procedure and can therefore mitigate this risk.

Additionally, the All on Implants technique may not be suitable for everyone, specifically those with inadequate bone quality or volume in the jaw. In such cases, additional surgical procedures might be necessary.

Proper evaluation and thorough discussion of the benefits and limitations of the procedure are crucial for achieving optimal and lasting results.
