All-on-4 Derby: Ashbourne Road Dental Can Help You Smile Again

For many people, the emotional consequences of losing teeth can be as debilitating as the loss of functions like chewing and speaking. Fortunately, the huge strides in the field of modern dentistry have made tooth replacement treatments with a dentist in Derby such as All-on-4 much more accessible to patients.

All-on-4 is perhaps better known by its other name ‘teeth in a day’.

As you may have deduced from this, All-on-4 ‘teeth in a day’ is a treatment that produces a full smile in a single appointment. This is achieved by using a small number dental implants (usually 2, 4 or 6), and an accompanying fixed bridge or removable denture.

Read on to discover why All-on-4 is the most viable solution for patients who (very understandably) don’t want to wait months for their new smile.

Here’s everything you need to know about the revolutionary All-on-4 technique.

All-On-4: In A Nutshell
– All-on-4 uses a small number of implants to anchor a whole row of new teeth in place.
– Fewer implants can be used. This is because your dentist strategically places them at angles which maximise the strength and volume of specific sites across the jawbone.
– This results in a more cost-effective solution than using individual implants for individual teeth.
– On the day your implants are fitted, your dentist gives you a temporary set of teeth. Patients love this, as they don’t have to be toothless whilst they wait for their mouth to heal after implant surgery. Historically patients would have to go without teeth for the 3-9 month healing period, deterring them from getting treatment with a dentist in Derby.

The Benefits Of All-On-4 With a Dentist In Derby

A set of teeth that won’t budge

As an implant-based treatment, All-on-4 can provide the stability patients long for when they get their teeth replaced. The All-on-4 method is a marriage of implants and a set of custom-made teeth. The teeth are attached securely to the implants, so there is no risk of any movement when you’re chewing, laughing or smiling.

 

Essential protection for your jaw and facial anatomy

All-on-4 implants are a foundation for protecting your jawbone from wasting away. This can occur in patients with missing teeth, and those who have had non-implant tooth replacement solutions for a number of years.

The jawbone relies on stimulation from teeth, and when they are no longer there, the jawbone starts to recede. This can render it more susceptible to damage and bring about changes to the structure of your face. Hollow cheeks and a protruding chin area are common consequences of jawbone recession.

Avoid aesthetic changes that age the face by choosing an implant-based treatment like All-on-4, with an implant dentist. Derby-based Ashbourne Road Dental is a state-of-the-art practice where you can attend a no-obligation consultation for implant-based treatments.

 

No waiting around for your new set of teeth

As we touched upon in the intro, All-on-4 offers patients a same-day option for tooth replacement. Using this method (sometimes referred to as ‘immediate loading’ we can give you a set of teeth to wear right after we place your implants.

The mouth enters a healing period of between 3-9 months (the duration of which depends on factors such as genetics and individual healing response). During this period, you will be provided with a set of teeth right after surgery.

Once your implants have fully integrated with your jaw, we can create the bespoke teeth that will function as your brand-new long-term smile.

No more restrictions with your food choices

Ill-fitting dentures and missing teeth can make going out for a meal a nightmare. This is something our patients often refer to when we ask them about the restrictions they have faced as a result of living with missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures.

No one should be forced to endure the frustration of being selective with their diet because of missing teeth. We completely understand the emotional cost of this, and many patients tell us that they can’t put a price on the life-changing effects of All-on-4 dental implants.

Take a look at our reviews from patients who have undergone All-on-4 here.

 

An accessible implant treatment (even if you’ve previously been rejected for implants)

A precondition of implant treatments used to be a strong and volume-rich jawbone. This is because the implant relies on this as a foundation for its longevity. Once upon a time, patients with minimal jawbone would need to undergo a bone graft to generate healthy bone. The bad news was that this can take months to complete, creating a barrier for patients looking to quickly replace their teeth.

But things have changed.

Implants are now suitable for patients who have very little jawbone density. The placement of the implants at certain angles gives your dentist the freedom to make the most out of the areas of jawbone that are most ample. This is a huge benefit for patients who might have previously been rejected for implants in the past (when All-on-4 wasn’t yet available).
