Recent advances in restorative dentistry technology have made dental implants the standard for replacing missing teeth. They once required a stable and strong bone foundation to create a successful dental implant result. This requirement eliminated many candidates or required extensive and costly bone grafting.
Dr. Mark Sowell offers his Dallas area patients the All-On-Four dental implant procedure through the most modern dental implant technology and materials.
A revolutionary concept in dental implants, All-On-Four allows patients to receive the procedure, who would have previously been ineligible for dental implants. All-On-Four requires a less stable bone structure for the implant process, opening dental implants to a broader group of patients.
Patients with a nearly 99% long-term success rate report that dental implants offer a permanent, natural and comfortable solution to missing teeth.
Dr. Sowell will use state-of-the-art dental technology to produce a 3-D computer image of your teeth, bone, and gums. This highly accurate and realistic image will help Dr. Sowell determine how to strategically place and angle four titanium posts for optimal results.
By understanding the appropriate angle to place the implant, Dr. Sowell can avoid previously damaged tissue and bone. The posts will be placed in healthy root canals providing more natural-feeling results.
Utilizing the healthiest tissue makes a better fitting, more natural result possible. This often allows Dr. Sowell to avoid extensive bone grafting. Bone grafting is an invasive procedure that is costly and requires many months of recovery before receiving dental implants.
With All-On-Four, Dr. Sowell will utilize the healthiest bone and tissue to secure the posts for long-lasting and durable dental implants. Once the posts are secured, and the tissue has healed, your denture, bridge, or crown will be securely and permanently attached.
All-On-Four Vs. Dentures and Dental Bridges
Traditional dentures can become ill-fitting over time, leading to slippage and difficulty with eating and speaking. A traditional dental bridge placement requires reducing the neighboring teeth to accommodate the restoration.
With All-On-Four, Dr. Sowell can help give patients back their confidence and optimal oral health through a secure, stable smile.
All-On-Four secures the dental bridge or dentures to the jaw bone using strategically placed implants. Securing the dental appliance to the bone helps to maintain long-term bone and jaw structure.
Unlike dentures that need special cleaning, you care for All-On-Four Dental Implants like your natural teeth. All-On-Four implants require normal oral hygiene, including daily brushing, flossing, and regular visits to the dentist office.
