What Is the Procedure of Placing All-On-4?

There are three significant steps involved in an All on Four procedure. The dentist begins the treatment through an initial consultation, which helps understand if the patient is a candidate for All on Four. Digital Imaging systems are used to help analyze the patients' dental health. An ideal treatment plan is drafted for the patient during the consultation process.

In the subsequent appointment, the dentist begins the implant surgery of the patient. Anesthesia is provided to numb the area in treatment. The dentist extracts the damaged tooth and makes an incision on the gums. The titanium implants are placed into the socket and an abutment is placed over the implant. The gums are stitched after the implant surgery. 

The patient needs to undergo a recovery period for better healing. Swelling in the area of treatment is normal and can be comforted with ice packs. The dentist prescribes over-the-counter medications to patients, which can help reduce the pain. The patient is advised to consume soft food to avoid chewing. It is also essential to avoid alcohol and smoking as it can slow down the healing process. The patient should visit the dentist for a dental checkup as scheduled by the dentist. 

All on Four implants is an excellent solution for patients who would like to fix their teeth loss quickly.
