All-on-4 Dental Implants in Halifax

If you are missing a number of teeth on a single arch, you might want to consider All-on-4 dental implants as a restoration solution. They can be used to replace teeth in the entire upper or lower arches with a fixed prosthesis that is attached to four dental implants.

Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?

If you are considering All-on-4 dental implants, your dentist will review your dental health and past medical history. They will take X-rays and digital 3D scans, as well as physically examine your mouth. The decision to go ahead with All-on-4 dental implants will largely depend on your medical health, the number of teeth that are missing, and the condition of your jaw bone and gums.

What Is the Process for a Dental Implant?

Your dentist must first fit the implants into the jaw bone. The implants are titanium screws that serve as a stable foundation for your prosthetic teeth. It takes three to six months for the screws to fuse with the bone. During this time, you will wear temporary dentures over the implant, and once the implants have fused with the bone, the prosthesis can be attached.
