Are Dental Implants Safe?Dental Implants are considered one of the safest and most predictable procedures in dentistry. At Dental Land, we utilize dental implants made of the best quality materials such as ceramic and zirconia. These are biocompatible materials that are accepted by our body. The natural bone locks the implant into place through osseointegration (fusing or attaching itself) giving your teeth the stability and strength to support replacement teeth, and function like regular teeth. Additionally, dental implants are the only restoration method that stimulates the health of your natural bone.

What are All-on-4?All-on-4 dental implants is one of the most recommended ways to replace missing teeth or dentures using modern technology and materials. They are perfect for patients that have dentures or are missing many of their natural teeth. All-on-4 dental implants can support a whole arch of teeth using only four implants. This can be used on either the upper or lower jaw and immediately replaces missing teeth which not only look and feel similar to your natural teeth, but function normally also. All-on-4 consists of four implants inserted into each jaw. These implants act as a foundation for a bridge. A fixed set of teeth, which will look like your natural teeth, can then be added to the implants replacing your teeth. Implants are available in many shades so they can match your natural teeth. All-on-4 dental implants do not require bone grafting and simply require four implants that can support the entire arch of dental restorations. Traditional dental implants may require up to eight single implants to support an entire arch of dental restorations. All-on-4 dental implants only use four implants in total because the two posterior implants are tilted at an angle that allows for longer implant posts. These implants offer the same durability and support of traditional implants but with a faster treatment time. Surgery is much quicker as most patients are able to have the replacement teeth added the same day as their implant surgery while maintaining regular eating and chewing functions, rather than waiting weeks between surgeries. To find out if All-on-4 Dental Implants are right for you, request a free consultation.
