All-on-4® Dental Implants in Las Vegas, NV

All-on-4 implants can be utilized to substitute one or both dental arches together with dental implants attached to custom dentures. You might be an ideal candidate for All-on-4 if you prefer the advantages of implanted dentures over removable dentures, which include no or few diet restrictions and no sticky adhesives. You will need to have sufficient bone and gum density to get implants, as the screws rely on your gums and bone to hold them in place. The first step in the All-on-4 process is to take digital scans and x-rays of your mouth. Our dentists will develop your unique treatment plan and go over your choices for sedation during the process. In your first procedure, the implants will be placed in your gums and jawbone. Our team will place a temporary denture over the implants so that you leave with teeth the same day. After a few months, you will return to have your custom-made dentures attached and possibly adjusted for a more comfortable fit.

You may experience some discomfort and pain in your gums following implant surgery. When you are wearing your temporary dentures, there'll be some dietary limitations and cleaning directions to follow. You will also visit for regular follow-ups during the healing period so we can assess your progress and make sure the implants are integrating into your jawbone and gums. Once your custom dentures have been set, you can clean them just like natural teeth with daily flossing and brushing. You should still go to Elegant Smiles for annual examinations and biannual cleanings to maintain your dentures and so our team can track the health of your mouth.
