All-On-4
Dental Implants

Step-by-Step All-on-X Procedure at Dentist of Aventura:

( All-On- 4 implants, All-On-6 implants, All- On-8 implants) 

1. Initial Consultation and Assessment:
   • A comprehensive evaluation of your oral health is conducted, including medical history review, dental examination, and imaging studies such as X-rays or 3D scans.
   • This assessment helps determine the suitability of the All-on-4 procedure for your specific needs.
2. Treatment Planning:
   • Based on the initial assessment, a personalized treatment plan is developed.
   • This plan outlines the number and placement of implants, as well as the design of the prosthetic teeth to ensure optimal function and aesthetics.
3. Tooth Extractions (if necessary):
   • At Dentist of Aventura, we prioritize your comfort and aim to ensure you are never without teeth during your treatment. Here’s how we manage the process:
     • Pre-Extraction Preparation: Before performing extractions, we ensure that your temporary prosthetic teeth are ready. We send a digital scan to our dental lab to fabricate your temporary dentures before your appointment for teeth extraction. This way, you will walk out with your temporary teeth.
     • The other option is Immediate Prosthetic Loading: After implant placement, the doctor may offer immediate loading of prosthetics or dentures on the same day or the following day after implants were placed. In regular cases, healing for 3-4 months is necessary before attaching something fixed to your implants. This approach ensures you have functional teeth without the need for removable options.

     This approach ensures you have functional teeth throughout your treatment, enhancing both comfort and confidence.

     In some cases, if there is insufficient bone to support the implants, a bone grafting procedure may be necessary. This involves adding bone to the jaw to provide a solid foundation for the implants. The healing process for bone grafting can take several months, depending on the extent of the graft.

     By carefully planning and utilizing these techniques, we strive to provide you with a seamless and comfortable dental implant experience.

4. • In cases where there is insufficient bone density, a bone grafting procedure may be performed to augment the jawbone, ensuring a stable foundation for the implants.
   • We utilize high-quality donor bone materials that are FDA-approved, ensuring safety and compatibility.
5. Implant Placement Surgery:
   • Under local anesthesia or sedation, four-six-eight dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone.
   • The surgical procedure usually takes several hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Even with local anesthesia you will have pain free extraction and implant placement.
6. Healing and Integration:
   • Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implants undergo osseointegration, a process where the implants fuse with the jawbone.
   • During this time, it’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing
7. Final Prosthesis Placement:
   • Once healing is complete, the temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent, custom-designed set of teeth.
   • The final prosthesis is adjusted for optimal fit, comfort, and function.

Benefits of the All-on-X Procedure at Dentist of Aventura:

• Immediate Functionality: The temporary prosthesis allows for immediate use of teeth, reducing the period without functional teeth.
• Enhanced Stability: Implants provide a secure foundation, improving the stability of the prosthetic teeth compared to traditional dentures.
• Bone Preservation: Implant placement helps maintain jawbone density by stimulating bone growth, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.
• Aesthetic Improvement: The custom-designed prosthesis restores natural appearance and smile aesthetics.

It’s important to note that individual cases may vary, and a thorough consultation with a qualified dental professional is essential to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.
