\"man<\/a>Edentulous (without teeth) patients struggle personally and professionally. Simple daily activities such as eating, speaking, and laughing are suddenly less comfortable and simple than they were before. Many patients we see find themselves nervous about meeting new people, speaking in public, or smiling for family photos. Even denture wearers dread eating in public for fear their prosthetic may shift or come out completely. At 21st<\/sup> Century Dental of Irving, we offer a more stable, comfortable alternative \u2013 All-on-Four<\/a> dental implants.

The All-on-Four Implant Process<\/h3>\n

Similar to the traditional dental implant process, All-on-Four implant retained dentures are placed in two phases. The first phase is the surgical positioning of titanium implant posts. As the name suggests, we typically place between four and six implant posts on the front portion of the jaw where the bone is naturally denser. The positioning and angle of the implant posts allows them to support a full set of replacement teeth. After a period of healing that may last several weeks or months, the patient returns to have a custom restoration attached to the implant posts. In some cases, patients are able to attach a light weight temporary restoration or even their custom prosthetic on the same day we place the implant posts. Patients who wear a traditional denture may be able to have their existing prosthetic adjusted to fit the implants saving time and money.<\/p>\n
