All-On-4® Implant Treatment
Lexington Prosthodontics provides All-On-4 implant treatment in
Burlington, MA. Call 781-222-3359 to learn more and schedule your
appointment.
All-on-4 is a unique prosthodontics treatment option that restores a
full arch of teeth in a single day. Also known as Teeth in a Day,
this solution is ideal for patients who have experienced significant
tooth loss, decay, or bone loss and are not candidates for
traditional dental implants.
With the All-on-4 procedure, we use four dental implants to support
a full arch of prosthetic teeth. While traditional dental implants
can be a months’ long process, All-on-4 allows you to leave our
office with new teeth in place.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implants
As with any dental implant procedure, All-on-4 implants will give you
a strong, stable restoration that feels more natural than traditional
dentures and allows you to eat your favorite foods and smile with
confidence. Other benefits of All-on-4 implants include:
- Immediate results in a single appointment
- Patients who have excessive bone loss are candidates for
All-on-4
- A natural-looking smile
- Permanent replacement for dentures—no more dealing with messy
adhesives or worrying about your dentures slipping or irritating
your gums
- Prevents facial collapse, restoring a youthful appearance
- Maintenance is easy
When you see a prosthodontist for All-on-4 implants, you can be
assured that you’re getting the highest quality restoration available.
We carefully design your prosthetic teeth for a natural appearance
that fits the size and shape of your face.
Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4 Implants
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
Your dental implants—the biocompatible titanium posts placed into
your jaw—are meant to last a lifetime. That said, the arch of
prosthetic teeth attached to the dental implants may need eventual
replacement, usually after 10 to 15 years.
Does insurance cover All-on-4 dental implants?
Some insurers will pay a portion of the costs involved in getting
All-on-4 dental implants, but it’s important to talk to your dental
insurance provider in order to understand your benefits. For
example, some dental insurance plans will cover the cost of dental
implants if you’ve already suffered bone loss or if your teeth were
lost due to an accident; others may cover the cost of extracting
teeth prior to implant surgery, but not the implants themselves.
Do All-on-4 implants look real?
The quality of All-on-4 restorations can vary a great deal, which is
why it’s important to choose a specialist who takes the time to
design a high quality All-on-4 bridge just for you. When dentists
take a one-size-fits-all approach to All-on-4 restorations, your new
teeth may not fit your facial features, resulting in a fake look.
How painful are All-on-4 dental implants?
During your dental implant procedure, your mouth will be numbed with
local anesthetic injections, so you won’t experience any pain with
the surgery itself. As the anesthetic wears off in the hours after
the procedure, you’ll likely experience some tenderness, which can
be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, cold compresses,
and a short-term diet of soft foods.
