All-on-4 dental implants in London

What are the risks associated with All-on-4 dental implants?

Risks which are associated with All-on-4 dental implants include sensitivity disorders in the chin area from injury to the nerve which may occur, although it is extremely rare. Peri-implantitis, or periodontitis around the dental implant, may occur without the patient’s commitment to proper oral hygiene habits. This risk may be more likely to develop in smokers.

How can you extend the durability of your All-on-4 dental implants?

Getting All-on-4 dental implants is the first step. Taking necessary precautionary measures to keep them in good shape is the second. Thankfully, the road to durability is simple to navigate. There are easy steps you can take at home to extend the life of your implants.

Extending the life of your dental implants is as easy as practising proper oral hygiene habits. Brushing and flossing regularly to remove food residue is essential to keeping your implants in good condition. One of our dental professionals will teach you the specifics about cleaning your denture and how to floss with dental implants.

It’s also important to visit the dentist at a minimum once, better twice a year for a cleaning; this is mandatory for those with a warranty.

What is the future of implantology and how will technology change how dentists undertake treatment?

Prof Dr. Christian Mehl has penned an excellent article titled ‘Man vs. Machine – guided and non-guided approach in implantology‘ which explores how digitally pre-planning treatments can improve long-term survival rates for dental implants and deliver better results for patients.

Can I get All-on-4 implants on the NHS?

Unfortunately, All-on-4 dental implants are not generally covered by the NHS as they are deemed a cosmetic procedure rather than essential care. The NHS does offer some dental implant services, but these are typically reserved for cases of trauma or congenital conditions. But at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we understand the value of a healthy, beautiful smile. Therefore, we offer a wide range of payment plans and financing options to make these transformative treatments accessible to everyone.

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

The lifespan of All-on-4 dental implants is one of their significant advantages. When maintained with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, these implants can last a lifetime. Scientific studies report that the implants themselves have an impressive survival rate of up to 98% over 10 years. This durability is testament to the high-quality materials used in the implants, the skill of our dedicated dental team, and our meticulous approach to patient care.

How many teeth do you get with All-on-4 implants?

The All-on-4 treatment concept was specifically designed to replace a full set of teeth with only four dental implants. The term “All-on-4” refers to “all” teeth being supported “on four” dental implants. These four implants act as pillars for a full-arch prosthesis, replacing all your missing teeth with a new, fully functional and visually appealing set.

Can I eat normally with All-on-4 dental implants

One of the many benefits of All-on-4 implants is the ability to eat with confidence again. Once the healing process is completed, you’ll be able to enjoy the same range of foods as you would with your natural teeth. The implants create a solid foundation, restoring your bite strength and allowing you to relish everything from a crisp apple to a hearty steak.

What foods to avoid with All-on-4?

In the initial weeks following the All-on-4 procedure, we recommend patients to stick to a diet of soft foods and liquids. This ensures that the surgical sites can heal properly without any undue pressure or stress. Once you have completely healed, you can resume a normal diet. However, it’s best to avoid overly hard or sticky foods as an extra measure of caution to protect your new teeth.

Why does my dental implant hurt when I chew?

Pain or discomfort when chewing could signify a few potential issues, such as incorrect bite alignment, an infection, or implant loosening. These complications are relatively rare due to the precision of our implant placement and our comprehensive follow-up care, but if they do arise, it’s essential to seek professional help promptly. If you experience any discomfort with your implants, please do not hesitate to contact our clinic.

Can your mouth reject an implant?

It’s extremely uncommon for the body to reject a dental implant as they are made of biocompatible materials. However, there can be complications, such as infection, poor bone density, or inadequate oral hygiene, that may lead to implant failure. At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we strive to minimise such risks by conducting thorough assessments of each patient’s dental health and bone density before proceeding with the implant procedure.

Do teeth implants feel weird?

Initially, it’s normal to be aware of your new implants as your mouth adjusts to their presence. However, one of the many benefits of dental implants is their natural feel. Dental implants are designed to mimic the function and feeling of natural teeth closely. As such, within a few weeks, most patients find they no longer notice their implants at all.

Care after implant

Maintaining your dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, are crucial to prolonging the lifespan of your implants. At our clinic, we provide personalised advice and education on best practices for oral hygiene to ensure your implants and your natural teeth remain in optimal condition.

How do All-on-4 implants differ from traditional dental implants?

The key difference between All-on-4 and traditional dental implants is the number of implants and their strategic placement. While traditional dental implant procedures often require six to eight implants per jaw, the All-on-4 technique only needs four. Furthermore, the All-on-4 procedure typically avoids the need for bone grafting, making the process faster and more comfortable for patients.

Is All-on-4 dental implant treatment going to be painful?

Dental procedures can understandably create anxiety around potential pain. However, at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we use the most advanced anaesthesia and sedation techniques to ensure our patients’ comfort during the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the All-on-4 implant procedure, especially when compared to traditional implant methods.

What’s the rate of success with the All-on-4 dental implant procedure?

The All-on-4 dental implant procedure boasts a high success rate. Research studies show a success rate of up to 98%. Our dental team at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic is exceptionally skilled and experienced in implantology, which contributes to our ability to achieve successful results for our patients consistently.

All-on-4 vs Dentures

While dentures have been the go-to solution for missing teeth for many years, they come with several limitations. In contrast, All-on-4 implants provide a fixed, more natural solution. Unlike dentures, All-on-4 implants don’t require adhesive and offer better chewing efficiency, allowing you to enjoy all types of food without concern.
