If you're missing most or all of your teeth, All-on-4 dental implants may offer an alternative to traditional dentures.
If you're missing most or all of your teeth, All-on-4 dental implants may offer an alternative to traditional dentures. Instead of replacing each tooth with an individual implant, this procedure uses four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The restoration is secured in place, so you won't have to remove it every night or worry about dentures shifting while you eat or speak. For patients who are tired of dealing with removable dentures, All-on-4 can provide a more convenient way to replace missing teeth.
At Northside Dental, we know that deciding to replace your teeth is a big step. There are questions about the procedure, recovery, costs, and what your new teeth will look and feel like. We'll take the time to discuss these concerns, examine your oral health, and determine whether All-on-4 is a suitable option for you. We want you to understand what's involved before making any decisions, and we'll work with you to develop a treatment plan that considers your needs, comfort, and budget. Call Northside Dental at 317-342-9446 to schedule a consultation, or visit our office at 15026 Greyhound Ct., Carmel, IN 46032.
One reason patients consider All-on-4 is that it may be an option even when some jawbone loss has occurred. Traditional dental implants sometimes require bone grafting to provide enough support, but the placement and positioning of All-on-4 implants can make it possible for certain patients to avoid that additional procedure. This doesn't mean everyone will qualify. The condition of your jawbone, gums, and overall health will still need to be evaluated. However, if you've previously been told that dental implants weren't an option, it may be worth asking whether All-on-4 could work for you.

All on Four Dental Implants Benefits
Northside Dental is performing this procedure on patients who were once limited to dentures and did not have the option of dental implants in the past because the technology did not meet their needs. With the All-on-4 advancements, those same people can:
- Experience the ease of dental implants despite jawbone loss.
- Experience a reduction in the risk of future jawbone loss.
- Have an affordable solution to your missing teeth.
- Have a full, attractive smile.
- Walk out with a prototype immediately fixed in place.
- Will allow you to never wear dentures again.
- A reduction in your recovery time.
- A reduction in your implant cost over a single tooth or bridge implant.
- Easy maintenance, like your natural teeth.
- No longer struggle with the frustration of your traditional dentures.
- Implant placement can be completed in one visit, reducing the time from the start of the treatment to its end results.
- Your ability to eat any kind of food.
- Experience successful long-term results.
- Restore a younger appearance without the sagging from missing teeth.
- Experience more self-confidence and improved self-esteem.

While All-on-4 offers amazing benefits, the treatment also does not come without small drawbacks. Instead of each missing tooth having its own root, the four dental implants replace all these fourteen individual root systems.

All-On-Four Dental Implant Aftercare
In many cases, research has proven that placing the dental implants immediately after your tooth extraction can improve the outcome of the procedure. Northside Dental has seen that patients can resume a normal diet in just six weeks after the implants are placed. The more closely you follow the after-care instructions from us, the better the results you will experience.
During the days and weeks following the more invasive appointments, eating softer foods will always keep you more comfortable. Once the healing process has begun, you can gradually include harder and more abrasive foods. Once we have completed your All-on-4 procedure and you are fully healed, you need to take care of your new teeth and your jaw to keep your overall health strong.
