All-on-4 Dental Implants
The All-on-4 Method Can Change Your Life
The All-on-4 dental implant technique is a tried-and-true solution for tooth loss. This method is unique and offers benefits such as:
Less Prep Work
Because jawbone deterioration accompanies tooth loss, traditional implant patients often need to undergo preparatory procedures like bone grafting to restore their candidacy for treatment. A dentist using the All-on-4 method places implants in areas of the highest bone density, allowing patients to enjoy the same great results without the need for this preparatory procedure.
Improved Confidence
Missing teeth can cause you to hide your smile and feel uncomfortable in social situations. The All-on-4 method can firmly support a denture that is virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Patients often report feeling more confident when smiling and talking with loved ones after treatment.
A Healthier Diet
Missing teeth can make chewing difficult, causing you to avoid some of your favorite foods and healthy foods like raw vegetables and nuts. With restored function, you can re-introduce these foods into your diet, allowing you to eat meals you love and improve your overall wellness.
Prevent Jawbone Atrophy
Tooth loss leads to jawbone loss, which can create further oral health problems and changes to your facial appearance. Dental implants prevent jawbone atrophy and keep these other problems from developing.
A Single Surgery
Patients sometimes think that because they're receiving four implants, they will have to undergo many surgeries at our office in Westfield. This isn't the case. All-on-4 implants can be placed in one surgery, and patients usually go home with a lifelike temporary denture on the same day. You won't have to wait for restored dental function.
See How All-on-4 Works
Four dental implants are placed in the areas of the jawbone that have the highest bone density. They are strategically angled to maximize contact with the bone tissue and provide the best stability. Abutments are then connected to the implants to secure a denture in place.

View on GoogleWho's a Candidate for All-on-4?
The unique benefit of the All-on-4 method is that people who do not qualify for traditional implants often qualify for this method. However, patients must still meet some qualifications:
Patients must be healthy enough to undergo surgery. Be sure to inform your dentist of any medications you're taking and provide them with your full medical and dental histories.
Tobacco products can inhibit the body's ability to heal, so we recommend not using them in the weeks leading up to your surgery and for several weeks after. Ideally, we recommend quitting altogether.
An In-Depth Look at the All-on-4 Procedure
The entire All-on-4 process can take four to six months to complete, but we will likely be able to provide a temporary denture on the same day of surgery, immediately restoring the function of your smile.
At Kasperowski Family Dentistry, our dentists provide you and your family with superior restorative and aesthetic dental care in a warm, safe, and caring setting.
Caring for Your Implants and Denture
When cared for properly, your denture can last upwards of 10 years, and your implants can last for the rest of your life. Our dental team recommends:
Following an At-Home Routine
You can brush and floss your denture like you would your natural teeth. This will remove debris and plaque buildup, keeping your denture in good condition. It will also help maintain your oral health and contribute to a healthy oral environment for your dental implants.
Attending Regular Checkups
Attending appointments with our dental team every six months will allow us to maintain your oral health, give your replacement teeth a thorough cleaning, and determine when it's time to replace your denture.
"Our team of dental professionals understands that the health of your smile has a dramatic impact on your physical and emotional well-being. Our goal is to help you achieve optimal oral health by providing comprehensive examination and diagnosis along with a strong emphasis on preventative care and education."
