All-on-4 Dental Implants near Palos Heights, IL
All-on-4 dental implants are a popular alternative to dentures or full-mouth dental implants. This technique involves placing only four implants per jaw, instead of the traditional eight to ten. The All-on-4 method is more efficient and comfortable for patients, as it reduces the need for bone grafting and allows the implants to function like natural teeth.

What are All-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 implants are a revolutionary dental implant system. This system supports a complete set of teeth on the upper or lower jaw with just four implants. These implants are strategically placed to ensure the replacement teeth remain stable and secure. The advantage of using this system is that it promotes faster patient recovery and reduces the likelihood of complications from potential implant failures.

What is an implant-supported bridge?
A screwed-in dental bridge is a complete set of upper or lower teeth permanently attached to dental implants. It is the most natural-looking option for patients, as it closely resembles the appearance and function of their teeth. Once installed, it cannot be removed by the patient and should only be removed by a dentist once a year. It offers the best biting and chewing experience among all available options.

How do you clean All-on-4 dental implants?
To prevent disease, cleaning all surfaces above and below the gumline daily is essential, just as with natural teeth. Regular dental checkups are also necessary. You can use a manual or electric toothbrush with soft bristles to clean the implants.
