All-On-4 Dental Implants

Repair Your Smile With Unmatched Stability

All-on-4 treatment offers more than traditional dentures. Patients will enjoy…

Maximum Stability

All-on-4 dental implants anchor your prosthetic teeth in place with unbeatable stability. While traditional dentures sit on top of the gums, these restorations are fixed into your mouth and never slide out of place.

Lasting Results

Once dental implants are placed in the jawbone, they remain permanently. You will enjoy lifelong support for an implant-supported denture, which typically lasts longer than a traditional restoration. 

Better Comfort

Implant-supported restorations are more comfortable and natural-feeling than removable prosthetics. You also care for them more like natural teeth, eliminating the tedious and embarrassing aspects of removable denture maintenance.

Improved Health

Over time, tooth loss can cause bone atrophy, altering your facial structure and making you look aged. Dental implants correct the problem by acting as artificial tooth roots, stimulating the tissues in the jaw and preventing bone recession. 

Complex Dental Care Made Easy

The process of All-on-4 dental implants may sound complicated, but we assure you that our practice makes it easy. Dr. Measells has the experience and additional training in complex restorative dentistry to offer every step of treatment conveniently under one roof. We use the latest technology to precisely plan and carefully execute the procedure, ensuring consistently successful results.

We understand that tooth loss can be difficult, and we are proud to provide truly life-changing solutions. Find out if All-on-4 dental implants can restore your smile during an appointment with Dr. Measells.

All-On-4 Works Even after Bone Loss

One of the main requirements for traditional dental implants is high jawbone density to support the titanium posts. However, many patients with missing teeth have already sustained tissue loss and cannot qualify for treatment, at least without a bone graft. All-on-4 offers a way around these problems by strategically angling the posts to make use of your existing bone structure.

Now, patients who wouldn’t normally qualify can experience all the benefits and convenience that come with an implant-supported restoration without costly additional surgical procedures. 

Candidates for Treatment

While All-on-4 implants are available to a wider range of patients than traditional dental implants, there are certain requirements you must meet in order to qualify. During your consultation at our Vicksburg practice, the dentist will look at several factors.

Type of Tooth Loss

Treatment is intended for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth and need a full denture. If you have several remaining healthy teeth, you may be better suited to traditional implants, a fixed dental bridge, partial dentures, or dental crowns to restore your smile on a tooth-by-tooth basis.

Dental Conditions

Patients with oral health conditions such as periodontal disease will first require treatment for preexisting problems. Improving your gum health and extracting any decayed teeth will give you a strong foundation for your implants and improve your chances of successful treatment. 

Overall Health

All-on-4 treatment involves a surgical procedure and is only suitable for patients who are in good overall health. Certain conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disorders, can increase your risk of complications and lead to implant failure, but they do not automatically disqualify you for treatment. 

Remember that a qualified dentist is the only one who can determine whether All-on-4 implants are right for you. If you’re questioning your candidacy for All-on-4 implants, reach out to Dr. Measells to discuss your concerns.  

All-on-4 Treatment Timeline

Take a look at the steps involved in All-on-4 treatment at our Vicksburg dental practice… Dr. Measells has been restoring patients’ smiles and improving their quality of life since 2009. 

Treatment Plan

After an initial examination during your consultation appointment, our dentist will begin to plan your custom procedure. This involves taking detailed X-rays of your mouth and oral structure to predetermine the location of your implants.

Implant Surgery

Before we begin, the doctor will administer anesthesia, numbing the area so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Once you are comfortable, we make small incisions and place the titanium implant posts into the jaw.

Osseiointegration

Over the next four to six months, the implants will fuse with your jaw in a process known as osseointegration. Once they have healed, we attach small connector pieces called abutments to each post and allow your gums a few more weeks to recover.

Permanent Restoration

Your permanent denture is hand-crafted by technicians at our partner dental lab to closely mimic the aesthetics of your natural teeth. When it is ready, it is sent back to us for placement. At your final appointment, we secure the restoration to your dental implants and give you final tips on after-care and daily maintenance.

We will be happy to assist you with anything you need and help facilitate a speedy and successful recovery. 

All-on-4 Maintenance

Dental implants and permanently attached restorations do not typically need any additional care beyond your normal routine. While your maintenance and care guidelines will vary depending on several factors, you can follow these universal rules to take care of your All-on-4 implants: 

Practice Good Hygiene

Even though our premium materials are made to withstand daily wear, good oral hygiene will keep your restoration looking its best and maintain the health of your gums. Patients can get the most out of their restoration by brushing twice per day and flossing at least once per day. 

Quit Using Tobacco Products

Using tobacco products can lead to complications such as impairing your ability to heal following your All-on-4 treatment. Even after your recovery, using tobacco products can cause dental health issues and eventually stain your implant-supported restorations. 

Schedule Regular Checkups

At your regular checkup, our dentist can take a look at your oral health and identify any potential issues that need to be addressed. We can also check the condition of your restoration and give more personalized tips for taking care of your dental implants.

All-on-4 Financing

We believe that the cost of treatment should not come between you and a healthy, functional smile. That’s why we offer several financing options for All-on-4 implants, such as CareCredit®, which helps divide the cost into affordable monthly payments. Qualifying patients can receive 0% or low-interest plans and other benefits through CareCredit.

We also offer a 5% discount for patients who pay the total cost of treatment up front.

While insurance typically does not cover the cost of implants, your plan may offer partial coverage for implant-supported dentures and other restorations.
