Why Is Bone Grafting Not Needed For All-On-4® Dental Implants?

All-On-4 dental implants in Charlotte, NC are a gold standard full arch tooth replacement option because of its design. Specifically, a bone grafting procedure is not needed when people get treated with All-On-4 dental implants because the four dental implant posts used in this advanced procedure are strategically placed in areas of the jawbone where there is enough jawbone density to support them. The doctor will carefully assess the patient’s jawbone before the placement procedure begins, ensuring that the dental implant posts will successfully fuse (osseointegrate) with it. Once the four dental implant posts have successfully fused with the patient’s jawbone, making them a permanent part of their smile, the dental implant posts will also stimulate the jawbone like natural tooth roots do. This stimulation will keep the patient’s jawbone strong and healthy enough to support their new smile. So that the patient does not leave the office with a toothless smile after their placement surgery, a temporary prosthesis will be attached to the four dental implant posts. The temporary prosthesis is what gives the patient a beautiful and functional new smile in just one day. After the streamlined All-On-4 dental implant procedure process is complete, the patient will be able to maintain a normal diet, speak clearly, and smile confidently. As long as it is properly taken care of and maintained, All-On-4 dental implants can last for years come. Without the need for a bone grafting procedure, All-On-4 dental implants give patients a more efficient new smile.
