All-on-4® Dental Implants in Holland, MI

All-on-4 dental implants represent an innovative solution for full-arch tooth replacement, offered at Christopher Nelis, DDS. All-on-4 implants, designed by Nobel Biocare™, involve placing four implants strategically in the upper and/or lower arch, providing a secure foundation for dentures. This method uses fewer implants than traditional approaches while still ensuring a stable hold, making it an excellent option for those seeking a fully restored smile without the inconveniences of removable dentures. Our team is also experienced with All-on-X implants, which take the placement of implants further by using between four and eight implants per arch to offer a flexible and customized approach to tooth restoration. Both techniques aim to provide a comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing result. Many patients in Holland, MI have experienced the benefits of these advanced treatments, enjoying enhanced quality of life and confident smiles. To learn more about All-on-4 and All-on-X dental implants and how they can restore your smile, schedule a consultation with Dr. Chris Nelis or Dr. Nick Racine at our Holland, MI practice today.

To start your All-on-4 treatment, we will take impressions and x-rays of your mouth. We will develop your unique treatment plan and discuss your choices for sedation during your procedures. During your first procedure, the dental implants will be placed in your mouth. Then, we will place a temporary cover to protect the implants while your gums and jawbone recover and your dental implants are created. After a few months, you should come back to get your custom-made restorations attached and then adjusted for a good fit.

You may feel some discomfort and pain in your mouth following implant surgery. When you are wearing temporary dentures, there will be some dietary restrictions and cleaning directions to follow. You will also come in for routine follow-ups during the recovery period so our dental practitioners can check your recovery and ensure that the implants are integrating into your bone socket and gums as they should be. As soon as your custom dentures have been set, you should clean them like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing. You should continue to see Christopher Nelis, DDS for annual examinations and twice-yearly cleanings to maintain your dentures so our team can monitor the health of your gums and jawbone.

All-on-4 and All-on-X dental implants offer numerous advantages, making them attractive options for individuals seeking a comprehensive solution for missing teeth. This innovative approach not only improves the aesthetics of your smile but also enhances overall oral functionality and health. These dental implants present several perks, such as:

  • Enduring answer for missing teeth, providing stability and durability
  • Could allow people to recover complete chewing ability
  • Might reduce the danger of medical concerns associated with absent teeth
  • A smaller amount of implants is required compared to other approaches, shrinking the necessity for bone grafts and minimizing recuperation time
  • Could improve the appearance of the face through end results that look natural
  • Gives the ability to have fully functional teeth in a reduced time period

Implants by All-on-4 can be utilized to substitute the lower and/or upper dental arches with implants attached to dentures made custom for you. You may be an ideal candidate for All-on-4 implants in the event you prefer the advantages of implanted dentures compared to traditional, removable dentures, which include no or few diet limitations, no messy glues, and no denture soaking. You will need to have good gum and bone density to get implants since the screws will rely on your gums and bone to hold them in position. If necessary, bone and/or gum grafts might be performed before implant surgery. Our dental care team can ascertain whether this treatment is best for you during your initial consultation and can help talk about all your options.

Are All-on-4 dental implants removable?

All-on-4 dental implants are not removable by the patient because they are securely fixed to the jawbone. This design provides a stable and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. However, your dentist in Holland, MI can remove them for maintenance or adjustments if needed.

Are All-on-4 dental implants safe?

All-on-4 dental implants are widely considered a safe and reliable option for tooth replacement when performed by a qualified dentist, such as our dentists at Christopher Nelis, DDS, utilizing biocompatible materials like titanium that integrate well with the jawbone, and with proper care and regular dental visits, the long-term success rate is high.

Can my body reject All-on-4 dental implants?

Your body cannot "reject" All-on-4 dental implants in the way it might reject an organ transplant because they are made from biocompatible materials like titanium. These materials are designed to integrate with your jawbone effectively. However, dental implants can fail to integrate with the jawbone if an infection occurs due to factors like poor oral hygiene, smoking, or underlying health conditions.

The unique All-on-4 and All-on-X systems make it possible to completely restore your smile with implants and custom dentures. The technology used enables you to prevent the clutter and restrictions of removable dentures for a result that feels and looks natural. Our team will explain the advantages of these advanced options and help you determine if you're a good candidate. Contact Christopher Nelis, DDS in Holland, MI to set up a consultation.
