Same Day Dental Implants

Get Fixed Teeth in Just One Day with the All-on-4 Treatment in Chelmsford, Essex

Thanks to revolutionary advances in dental implant technology it is now possible to get a new set of fixed teeth in a day! You come in at 9am and can leave by 2pm with a set of new fixed teeth.

The all-on-4 concept is a revolutionary new technique developed to minimise the number of implants and steps required to restore a whole jaw. By reducing the number of implants and steps, the costs in the procedure are reduced too. Traditionally 6-10 implants were required to restore a whole jaw but by using modern techniques and views in implant dentistry we can now offer a different way at our practice in Chelmsford, Essex.

The ideal candidates for this treatment are patients:

• With full/partial dentures or multiple failing teeth due to periodontal disease
• Missing many teeth
• With failing crowns and bridges

The benefits are:

• The treatment process is quick
• No need to wear a denture while the implants are healing
• You can normally avoid costly grafting
• You don't need one implant per tooth, so this saves a lot of money!

How does it work?

The science behind the All-on-4 concept is the angles at which the implants are placed 2 of the implants must be placed at approximately a 30-45 degree angle to the centre implants producing a bracing support and spreading out the load from which the bridge transmits along the implants.

There are now studies showing success rates as high as 95% for this technique.

Advantages:

• Only requires 4 implants
• A fixed bridge can be provided on the same day as the implant surgery, no need for a denture
• A reduced number of steps, so reduced time treating and reduced costs
• By placing the implants at clever angles we can possibly avoid grafting procedures

Disadvantages

• All 4 Implants must remain healthy
• The highest success rates for this technique are in the lower jaw(mandible)
• It relies on the implants going in firmly to have an immediate bridge
