All-on-4 Dental Implants

Dental implants can be used to replace multiple missing teeth and a full arch

At Dental Depot in Arizona, full arch procedures are commonly known as All-on-4 or ‘Teeth in a Day’. This signifies the use of four implants for each arch to uphold a full set of teeth, which typically comprises 12 teeth in an arch. The term ‘Teeth in a Day’ refers to our comprehensive procedure where we extract decayed or irreparable teeth, position the dental implants, and then immediately fit an implant-supported temporary prosthesis (teeth) – all within a single day’s appointment.

Benefits of All-on-4 Implants: A Time and Cost-Effective Solution

  • Attain fixed teeth in a single day
  • Ward off future bone deterioration
  • Depart with permanent teeth as opposed to removable options

 

At Dental Depot in Arizona, the process kicks off with a thorough assessment and a tailored treatment blueprint. Our expert doctors collaborate seamlessly with a restorative dentist and a dental laboratory, ensuring the successful execution of this sophisticated treatment. Precise synchronization and planning among these specialists are paramount to achieving desired outcomes.

It’s crucial to understand that within the realm of dental expertise, only Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS) bear the title ‘surgeons’. They possess the skills and training to conduct genuine surgical procedures on facial bones and the oral cavity. An OMFS undertakes a rigorous surgical training regimen that lasts a minimum of four years, sometimes even extending to six years, post their dental school education.

For the general population, this distinction is very important, particularly in today’s age of persuasive advertising. Often, people can be swayed by misleading promotions that don’t accurately represent the training and experience levels of dentists concerning the All-on-4 surgical procedure. It’s imperative to note that All-on-4 is a genuine surgical intervention, accompanied by significant risks and possible complications. This holds true even when administered by proficient OMFS.

Another aspect to remember is that while advanced technology aids in the procedure, it cannot replace the need for surgical expertise. A Cone Beam CT (CBCT) machine, crucial for All-on-4 treatments at Dental Depot Arizona, doesn’t nullify the necessity for hands-on training and experience. Cutting-edge tools like CBCT complement an experienced surgeon’s skillset, working to diminish risks, expedite recovery, and enhance results.

Why Choosing an Oral Surgeon is Crucial for the All-On-4 Implant Procedure

In the dental domain, only Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS) are genuine “surgeons”. These professionals are extensively trained to conduct intricate surgeries on facial bones and the oral cavity. Their rigorous training regimen spans at least four years, and in some cases, up to six, post their dental school studies. It’s vital for the public to grasp this distinction, especially in an era marked by savvy marketing.

 

The general populace is occasionally swayed by deceptive advertising that obscures the genuine expertise required for procedures like All-on-4. It’s pivotal to understand that All-on-4 isn’t just any procedure; it’s a serious surgical intervention carrying inherent risks, even when executed by adept OMFS.

 

While technology aids in enhancing the precision of the procedure, it cannot replace genuine surgical know-how. Instruments like the Cone Beam CT (CBCT) machine are fundamental for the All-on-4 treatments at Dental Depot Arizona, but they can’t mask a practitioner’s lack of training or experience. Sophisticated tools, such as the CBCT, are just a component of a seasoned surgeon’s arsenal, employed to mitigate risks, speed up recovery, and elevate results.

 

For those considering All-on-4 or other dental implant procedures, due diligence is essential. Pose queries about the surgeon’s post-dental school training in recognized postgraduate programs and residencies. Scour the internet, peruse patient reviews, and ask exhaustive questions during consultations. Seasoned surgeons at Dental Depot Arizona are well-equipped and eager to address all your concerns, including treatment options, risks, and the influence of your overall health on the results.

 

Your dental health is paramount. Ensure you’re making a well-informed decision. Opting for an oral surgeon over a conventional dentist for dental implants not only assures expertise but also ensures a positive, reassuring experience at Dental Depot Arizona.

What are the Advantages of an Oral Surgeon Instead of a Traditional Dentist

  1. Depth of Experience: Oral surgeons primarily focus on oral surgeries, giving them an edge in experience and skill over general dentists.
  2. Advanced Education: Beyond just a bachelor’s degree and standard dental schooling, oral surgeons at Dental Depot Arizona undergo an accredited residency program, which spans at least four more years.
  3. Expertise in Dental Implant Procedures: Thanks to their specialized training, our oral surgeons conduct more dental implant operations than regular dentists and are adept at intricate procedures, like bone grafting.
  4. Commitment to Ongoing Learning: The realm of implant dentistry is ever-evolving. Our oral surgeons are committed to continuous learning, ensuring our patients benefit from the latest, most advanced dental implant techniques available.

 

In a nutshell, when compared to a standard dentist, an oral surgeon at Dental Depot Arizona brings a unique blend of experience, education, and expertise, ensuring your dental implant surgery is of the highest caliber.
