\"Performing<\/a>Maybe you\u2019ve heard about All-on-4 dental implants, but do you really know what it is? Or that there is also a better option known as All-on-5 or 6? All-on-4 offers a way to secure a complete <\/span>bridge<\/span> with the stability of dental implants — without requiring an individual implant for each missing tooth. Dr. Erin Page<\/span><\/a> are pleased to offer this revolutionary option in implant dentistry at Capital Smiles.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Increased Stability for Your Denture<\/span><\/h2>\n

One common complaint we hear from <\/span>patients<\/span> who wear traditional dentures is that they slip around or have lost their fit. A <\/span>removable denture<\/span> may become uncomfortable due to the degeneration of the jawbone, as missing teeth cause the bone to weaken and <\/span>shrink<\/span>. The effect is especially rapid when all the teeth have been lost. Additionally, due to the shape of their mouth or other factors, some people never enjoy the benefits of a properly-fitting traditional denture at all. Retaining the prosthetic with dental implants provides significant help for complete denture wearers. <\/span><\/p>\n

All-on-4 Dental Implants: Even Better With 5 or 6<\/span><\/h2>\n

All-on-4 is a method of replacing all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw with a <\/span>fixed bridge<\/span> retained by dental implants. Placing a traditional dental implant for each missing tooth would be highly invasive and prohibitively expensive — but All-on-4 <\/span>or 6 allow Dr and Page <\/span>to use fewer dental implants for increased stability. <\/span><\/p>\n

This implant method typically uses 4<\/span> dental implants to secure a full denture, but at Capital Smiles, we encourage the use of All-on-5 or even All-on-6 for maximum success. The more implants you have, the more stable your <\/span>bridge<\/span> is.<\/span> And, if one implant fails<\/span> and you only have 4 total,<\/span> your prosthesis will not fit as intended<\/span>. This is especially true for patients who do not have plenty of healthy bone structure. Adding a fifth or sixth dental implant ensures that <\/span>in the event <\/span>that one of the dental implants fails, we can still rescue your smile. <\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple Benefits of All-on-<\/span>6<\/span> Dental Implants<\/span><\/h2>\n

Because the dental implants are <\/span>placed at angles which are different<\/span> than traditional implants, All-on-4 does not require the long wait times between <\/span>implant placement <\/span>and restoration that are necessary with traditional dental implants. Often called \u201cTeeth in a Day,\u201d All-on-<\/span>6<\/span> can be restored <\/span>with temporary teeth the same day as implant placement<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n
