What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?
Made by Nobel Biocare, All-on-4 dental implants offer an advanced approach to secure dentures for a full-arch restoration. This procedure works by implanting the screws (dental implants) into four areas on each arch. In contrast to other implant dentures, All-on-4 utilizes fewer implants to get a more secure fit. Dr. Todd McCracken suggests All-on-4 implants if you are looking for a completely restored mouth without the hassle and diet limitations that come with removable dentures. Several Denton, TX patients have enjoyed the benefits of the new All-on-4 procedure, enjoying quality outcomes. If you're interested in discovering more about All-on-4 and custom dentures, then we welcome you to make an appointment at Laser Smile Studio.

Treatment Aftercare
Once the permanent dentures are in place, the patient will have check-ups over the next few weeks and months to perfect the fit of the dentures. All-on-4 implant dentures should be cared for with daily brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash, just like natural teeth. The patient should continue to schedule professional cleanings and dental exams as recommended by Laser Smile Studio. With proper care, All-on-4 implant dentures can last 5 - 10 years.
Insurance Coverage
Depending on the patient's dental insurance carrier and specific policy, some of the cost of All-on-4 implant dentures may be covered. Our office will work with the patient's insurance company to determine your coverage and maximize their benefits before determining your costs. Our office accepts several payment options and we offer financing plans to make dental care affordable.
