All-On-4 Dental Implants in Skokie, IL to Restore a Full Arch in One Day

All-on-4 Dental Implants in Skokie, IL | Full Mouth Restoration at My Dental Hub

At My Dental Hub, we offer All-on-4 dental implants in Skokie, IL, for patients who need to replace a full arch of missing teeth, with four strategically placed implant posts used to hold the restorations in place. All-on-4 implants are a modern dental treatment that anchors fixed, non-removable dentures directly into the jawbone to restore chewing function, speech, and overall appearance. Patients prefer this method over traditional dentures because the prosthetics stay in place and don’t slip around.

For most patients, the All-on-4 strategy uses two straight implants to hold the restorations at the front of the jaw and two more angled implants at the back, which helps to maximize bone stimulation to preserve density. When you come for your dental surgery, you can leave the same day with a temporary denture until your final restorations are ready for placement.

Our experienced team at My Dental Hub offers customized treatment plans for every patient, depending on bone density, jaw positioning, and overall oral health. Call today to schedule a consultation.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 dental implants are an implant system designed to replace a full arch of teeth, on the upper or lower jaw (or both). When four titanium posts are surgically placed in the jawbone, they can be used to hold a complete set of fixed dentures. The two implants in the back of the mouth are positioned at around 30 to 45 degrees, which increases bone contact and can often avoid bone grafting.

Once the implants are healed and integrated into the jawbone, the permanent prosthetic teeth are screwed onto the implants, which means that you cannot remove them. The most common treatment plan involves a temporary arch that you receive on the day of surgery, then you will come back to our office close to you for the final permanent arch (usually 3-6 months later).

When All-on-4 Implants Are the Recommended Treatment Option

We often recommend All-on-Four Implants for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both arches. This permanent restoration might also be beneficial if the remaining teeth are failing and you are considering a full-mouth extraction. Here are some of the reasons why patients often choose full mouth dental implants:

• Severe Tooth Loss: This treatment is ideal for patients who are missing most of their teeth or the remaining teeth are severely damaged and cannot be saved.
• Bone Density Loss: Even if you have moderate jawbone loss, it’s still possible to place All-on-4 implants because of the angled implants in the back that can be placed in the denser areas of the jawbone.
• Replacing Traditional Dentures: If you are already wearing traditional dentures and are tired of the slipping and shifting that makes it difficult to talk and eat, you might consider replacing the traditional design with full-mouth dental implants.
• Permanent Fixed Restoration: All-on-4 implants are a great choice for patients who are getting a full-mouth restoration for the first time, offering a stable smile replacement that doesn’t need to be removed for cleaning.
