Erie, Harborcreek and Millcreek, PA

Tooth loss is much more common than you might realize. In fact, more than 35 million Americans lack all of their upper and/or lower teeth.

An advance in the science of restorative dentistry now provides a solution. Laser Dentistry of Erie can replace a complete dental arch of teeth using the All-On-4 system of dental implants.

What is the All-On-4 system?

All-On-4 implants consist of the following components:

• Replacement teeth, matched in shape and color to look like your remaining natural teeth
• Four dental implants, placed strategically in the mouth to support the replacement teeth.

Here is what a patient can expect when Laser Dentistry of Erie installs an All-On-4 system:

• That morning, our staff will take impressions of your mouth before installing the four implants into the mouth.
• You can then go home, or wait in the office, while the replacement teeth are made in the laboratory.
• Next, permanent replacement teeth are placed in the mouth—which often can occur the same day the implants are installed.

The benefits of All-On-4

• You receive your replacement teeth quickly. With a regular dental implant, you might have to wait at least three months for the healing process to run its course. The healing process typically takes approximately three months, and a diet of soft foods is advised for the first six to eight weeks following the procedure.
• Any additional bone loss is prevented. This is because the implants are fused into the jawbone, replacing the roots of missing teeth.
• The facial structure of patients with All-On-4 often looks younger.
• It is a convenient and cost effective way to permanently replace missing teeth on the same arch, especially compared to having a dental implant to replace each lost tooth.

Installing an All-On-4 system is a complex procedure that requires special additional training in restorative dentistry, as well as oral surgery. The staff at Laser Dentistry of Erie has this training. If you or a member of your family is living with a lost dental arch of teeth, regain your smile and your oral health in a single day.
