All On 4 Plus^® Dental Implants Costs

Dental Implants Costs, Results, and Process

Implants are the most modern and effective way to replace missing teeth. All-On-4 Plus® Plus® is an effective treatment option for people who have lost their teeth due to tooth decay, gum disease, or injury. However, many people worry about All-On-4 Plus® costs and wonder if the procedure is really worth it compared t cheaper alternatives.

The procedure and dental implant costs can be expensive compared to removable dentures. However, if you consider the results, it will prove to be a worthy investment.

Here's everything you need to know about All-On-4 Plus® implants, including who should consider them, what costs to expect, an overview of the fitting process, and the final results, including the recovery process after implant surgery.

What is All On 4 Plus® Implants Treatment?

Unlike standard dental implants, which usually replace only one tooth with each implant, All-On-4 Plus® is an effective treatment for replacing multiple missing teeth at once. They are a permanent alternative to removable dentures, and we recommend them for people who have lost several of their upper or lower teeth.

In the All-On-4 Plus® procedure, the dentist implants four titanium posts into the jawbone. After the implants have successfully healed, a set of custom-made prosthetic teeth is fitted onto them and held in place on each implant post.

All-On-4 Plus® implants are ideal for people who want to replace all their missing teeth at once. The mainprocedure can be completed within a single dental appointment. They are also an excellent option for people who don't want removable dentures that can be uncomfortable, lose their grip, or slip out of place.

Once we fit the permanent bridge, your All-On-4 Plus® implants function just like your natural teeth — you'll be able to eat, speak and smile just the same.

The Process of Fitting All-On-4 Plus® Dental Implants

Your dentist can tell if you are a suitable candidate for All-On-4 Plus® implants after assessing your teeth and taking an X-ray. We'll then discuss the best treatment options for you, depending on the health of your remaining teeth and the condition of your jawbone.

After your consultation, and if you decide to go ahead with an All-On-4 Plus® implant, we'll take photographs and impressions of your teeth and mouth. We'll use these to develop a model for the perfect-looking and fitting prosthetic teeth and to determine the implant placement.

The implant procedure takes between one and three hours, depending on whether you need any existing teeth removed or preparation of your jawbone.

The dentist or technician will put you under sedation or general anaesthetic for the implant surgery so that you won't feel any pain. After placing the implants into your jawbone, any wounds will be closed with dissolvable sutures, and caps will be placed on the implants temporarily.

After the surgery is complete, the dentist will take an impression of the implants to send to our laboratory. Then, while you recover from surgery, the lab will create a wax model of your new teeth. Finally, the dentist will use the temporary bridge to model the final full arch after checking the fit and making adjustments.

In most cases, you can expect your permanent teeth to be ready and fitted within one to two days of surgery.

All-On-4 Plus® Implant Results: What to Expect

All-On-4 Plus® dental implants provide an excellent aesthetic result and restore full functionality to your mouth. They can be fitted to either the upper or lower jaw (or both), each of which requires only four titanium posts that the dentist will position in the jawbone through tiny incisions around your gums.

You will be given medication after your surgery to control pain, if you have any. You'll also receive antibiotics to prevent infections. Over the next few days, you may experience some pain, swelling and bruising of your gums and face, but this should subside within a week.

Because they're custom-made for your mouth and fitted within 24-48 hours of surgery, you'll be able to wear your new teeth straight away. In addition, All-On-4 Plus® implants can be made to look completely natural, so nobody will know they aren't your natural teeth.

Typically, you'll be able to eat and drink properly after one day of surgery. However, we advise consuming only soft foods for the first four months while the implants are undergoing a process of integration with the jawbone.

Just as with real teeth, you'll need to care for your new teeth by regularly brushing and flossing and visiting your dental practice for checkups.

The Benefits of All-On-4 Plus® Over Removable Dentures

All-On-4 Plus® dental implants are a popular choice for restoring functionality to your mouth.

While dentures are a cheap option for replacing teeth, they're significantly less secure in the mouth. Unlike All-On-4 Plus® implants, dentures can slip or become loose when talking or eating.

As implants are fixed in your mouth, you can enjoy eating foods that would be difficult to chew with dentures. For example, apples and corn on the cob are often too tough for people who wear dentures, but All-On-4 Plus® implants don't affect your ability to eat them.

Since the bridges attached to implants don't cover the palate like dentures, you'll be able to taste and enjoy your food fully. There's also much less irritation to your gums and the lining of your mouth.
