All-on-4® treatment concept in Prairie Village, KS
Implant-Supported Dentures & Bridges
The All-on-4® treatment concept, a dental implant-supported denture/bridge technique, has been a truly life-changing treatment for many thousands of patients.
For patients who are complete or partial denture wearers and experience loose, poorly fitting appliances that do not allow them to comfortably chew the foods they most enjoy, the All-on-4® treatment concept, a stable implant-supported denture/bridge, will improve their quality of life. In addition, the All-on-4® treatment concept, an implant-supported denture/bridge, is a viable treatment option for those patients who experience chronic painful infections related to their teeth or gum attachment.
The process for the All-on-4® treatment concept begins with an examination at our dental office. If Dr. Gordon determines you are a candidate, you would be referred to an oral surgeon for surgical evaluation for placement. As a team, our office, the oral surgeon, and the dental laboratory (which specializes in the construction of the All-on-4® treatment concept denture/bridge) will plan all phases of your care.
The process of completing an All-on-4® treatment concept takes from four to six months. At no time will you be without teeth, as Dr. Gordon will place temporary provisional teeth that look and feel much like natural teeth.
With the placement of four implants into predetermined areas for maximum bone support, a dental bridge is secured to provide replacement teeth to the arch.
The benefits include:
- A smaller number of implants placed means a reduction in treatment costs
- Improved stability in supporting bone
- Reduced need for bone grafts
- Faster treatment and healing time. Allows for immediate placement of teeth without having to wait for the healing time following surgery
- Tooth replacement options can be either a fixed (non-removable bridge) or a removable bridge for easier maintenance
- Documented scientific research and studies support the All-on-4® treatment concept
