Replace Full Arches of Teeth With All-on-4 Dental Implants in Waukegan

It’s certainly no fun living living without all your teeth. Eating can be difficult, plus a lack of teeth can cause you embarrassment. You may hide your smile behind your hand in public, or not smile at all. This can lead to negative social consequences and even turn some people off.

All-on-4 Gives You More for Less

If you’re missing most or all of your natural teeth, you owe it to yourself to find out about dental implants. These small metal posts can be inserted in your jaw by an oral surgeon, where they will chemically fuse with your jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. New bone material will actually grow around the implants, forming a durable, long-term base to anchor replacement teeth.

You may be under the impression that you would have to get one implant placed for every missing tooth. However, with an All-on-4 procedure, that’s not the case. Dr. Kurziak can anchor full arches of teeth – on your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both – using just four precisely placed implants per arch. The secret is in the placement of the implants,. Two implants will be embedded vertically, and two implants will be placed at specific angles for maximum stability.

Here’s how your All-on-4 procedure will go:

  • Dr. Kurziak and our team will plan your procedure using advanced imaging with digital X-rays.
  • We’ll coordinate your implant placement with a trusted local oral surgeon.
  • On the day of your procedure, the oral surgeon will place your implants according to the treatment plan.
  • Dr. Kurziak will attach a set of temporary fixed teeth to the implants, making sure they fit properly and feel comfortable. In some cases, this can be done on the same day.
  • You’ll wear these temporary teeth until your final restorations are ready, at which time we’ll anchor them into place.
  • You won’t have to remove your new teeth for cleaning like you do with conventional dentures. You’ll just brush and floss as usual.

With All-on-4 dental implants in Waukegan, you can get your implants and new teeth all in the same day. Contact Greenwood Dental Care today to get started. New patients can call 847-595-5805 and existing patients can call 847-429-3547.
