Missing multiple teeth or dealing with dentures that slip and require messy adhesives can be frustrating and take a toll on your confidence and ability to eat and speak comfortably. Fortunately, All-on-4 dental implants offer an innovative approach to full-arch or full-mouth restoration, providing a stable, natural-looking smile that functions like your original teeth. This solution uses four, or more strategically placed small, metal posts implanted in the jawbone, topped with natural-looking artificial teeth to restore your smile’s appearance and function.
At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC, Dr. Daniel Reich brings over 25 years of experience and advanced training to help patients regain their confidence with All-on-4 dental implants. As a board-certified periodontist (Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology), and Director of Periodontics at Touro College of Dental Medicine, Dr. Reich combines surgical precision with state-of-the-art technology to deliver the exceptional results you deserve.
All-on-4 dental implants in East Brunswick, NJ, are a major breakthrough in full-arch or full-mouth restoration technology. This innovative procedure uses four or more strategically placed implants to support a complete arch of replacement teeth. Unlike traditional methods that may require six to eight implants per arch, the All-on-4 technique maximizes bone usage by angling the back implants to avoid areas where bone loss commonly occurs.
Before we proceed with All-on-4 implants to replace your missing teeth, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation with advanced imaging to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. Dr. Reich examines your oral health, bone density, and overall medical history to create a personalized treatment plan. If you decide to pursue this treatment, you can expect the following steps that ensure optimal results and comfort:
This systematic approach gives you a functional smile while your implants integrate with the bone over the following months. Once healing is complete, a final restoration will be inserted, which is custom-designed to match your facial features and provide a natural look and feel.
Determining candidacy for All-on-4 implants requires a thorough evaluation of your oral health and overall medical condition. Ideal candidates have sufficient bone density to support implant placement, healthy gums, and realistic expectations about the treatment process. While some bone loss is expected with missing teeth, the All-on-4 technique can often work even in cases where traditional implants might not be suitable. Other considerations for the treatment include the following:
Your overall health plays a crucial role in implant success. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, active periodontal disease, or heavy smoking may affect healing and implant integration. However, many of these factors can be managed with proper treatment and lifestyle modifications. We will work with you to address any concerns and optimize your oral health before proceeding with treatment.
Age is rarely a limiting factor for All-on-4 implants. Many patients in their 70s and 80s successfully receive this treatment and enjoy the benefits of a stable, functional smile. The key is maintaining good overall health and having realistic expectations about the healing process and long-term maintenance requirements.
If you’re one of the over 36 million Americans missing all their teeth or wear traditional dentures, you may avoid showing your smile or eating certain foods out of insecurity or fear that your restoration will slip. With All-on-4 implants, you don’t have to worry about these concerns, as this solution offers the following benefits:
The stability provided by All-on-4 implants eliminates the slipping and sliding common with traditional dentures. You can eat your favorite foods without worry, speak clearly without fear of denture movement, and smile confidently knowing your teeth are securely anchored.
All-on-4 implants are easier to maintain than multiple individual implants. The cleaning process is straightforward, requiring regular brushing and the use of a “Water-Pik” along with professional maintenance visits. This comprehensive solution eliminates the need for denture adhesives, special cleaning solutions, and having to remove appliances every night.
Implants also help preserve jawbone structure by providing the stimulation needed to prevent bone loss, maintaining your facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance that can develop with missing teeth. This natural stimulation occurs through the process of osseointegration, where the titanium implants fuse with your jawbone and continue to stimulate bone growth throughout your lifetime.
