All-on-4 Dental Implants Specialist in Anaheim Hills, CA

All-on-4 dental implants are used to replace multiple missing teeth. They can also be referred to as full-mouth dental implants and can be designed for either the top or lower jaw. There are four parts of an all-on-4 dental implant: four implants, four abutments, a row of replacement teeth, and retaining screws. These types of dental implants typically contain 10-12 teeth depending on the size of the mouth and jaw.

During your all-on-4 dental implant procedure, Dr. Mehru Bhatia DDS will place you under a local anesthetic so that you don’t feel any pain or discomfort. To prepare for the implant placement, Dr. Mehru Bhatia DDS will remove any infected tissue, damaged gums, and broken teeth. Next, Dr. Mehru Bhatia DDS will secure titanium screws into your jawbones to support your semi-permanent dentures. The dental implants will be placed at the front and back of your jaw. Then the area will be thoroughly cleaned so that an infection doesn’t occur.

Benefits of all-on-4 dental implant procedures at MySmile Dental Care include:

• Mimics the feeling, function, and appearance of natural teeth
• Prevents jaw deterioration and shrinkage
• Long-term solution for many years
• Very little loss of function
• Easy to take care of
• Eliminates possible health issues
• More affordable than alternatives
• Minimal risks
• High success rate of over 95%
• Restore facial contours
• Won’t shift, fall out, or lose stability

If taken care of well, all-on-4 implants can potentially last forever. Though they are considered a semi-permanent solution to missing teeth, they can last for decades. We suggest you follow these tips to keep your all-on-4 dental implants undamaged:

• Floss and brush your teeth twice daily
• Use a soft toothbrush
• Avoid hard foods
• Avoid sticky foods
• Avoid smoking
• Avoid alcohol
• Schedule regular trips to your dentist
• Follow your dental implant specialist’s recovery and aftercare tips

After your surgery, you can expect to start recovering within the first 48-72 hours. You will be given gauze to help reduce bleeding and should be replaced once every 45 minutes to an hour until the bleeding fully stops. Dr. Mehru Bhatia DDS recommends you avoid strenuous activity, heavy exercise, and sudden movements until the inflammation comes down. One way to reduce inflammation and infection is through a medicated mouth rinse and a cold compress. After a few days, you will be able to slowly go back to your everyday routine, start brushing your teeth gently, and let the healing process continue.
