Procedure for All-on-4 Dental Implants
Our team of experts starts by sedating the patient. After the sedation begins to take effect, our specialist takes out the patient's remaining teeth. Our specialists make dissections into the patient's gums to frame the sockets for the titanium rods. Our specialist affixes the titanium rods into the sockets.
What’s more, our specialist links abutments to the rods and suture the gums. In situations involving the upper arch, lower arch, or both, only four dental implants will be used to penetrate each arch. Our titanium rods will assist over-dentures as the implants combine with the gums and jawbone.
Our team of experts understands how crucial recovery is. Hence, our specialist ensures you are aware of swelling and soreness that will occur after the procedure. Our experts prescribe over-the-counter pain relievers to help you cope with these feelings.
In most cases, healing takes three to six months because of osseointegration. As this process occurs, our specialist subjects the patient to eating soft foods because these foods do not require a lot of chewing. Too much chewing can weaken the implants. If bleeding continues till the patient reaches home. Oftentimes, our specialists advise patients to rinse with salt and warm water two to three times every day.
