Each implant is strategically placed in your upper or lower jaw.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best part\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The procedure immediately restores your missing teeth. And the All-on-4\u00ae\ufe0f implants look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Why All-on-4\u00ae\ufe0f is a secure choice for replacing missing teeth<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your procedure uses four titanium implants. Each are placed into your jaw at a designated location to create a secure foundation for your new teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A natural looking, full set of teeth are secured to the implants on the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, bone loss can be overcome with the All-on-4\u00ae\ufe0f treatment. Each implant can be placed at slight (45 degree) angle. This saves time by eliminating the need for a bone graft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>All-on-4\u00ae\ufe0f or traditional dental implants?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your All-on-4\u00ae\ufe0f treatment is different from a standard implant procedure. The four strategically placed dental implants are capable of supporting a full set (arch) of new teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedcenterforcosmeticdentistry.com\/how-to-assure-a-successful-dental-implant-procedure\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> traditional implant treatment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can require more than four single implants to secure a full set of teeth. The All-on-4\u00ae\ufe0f procedure relies on the advantage of placing the two back implants at an angle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can expect your results to be equally as durable and long-lasting. Plus your treatment time will be much faster than with traditional implants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could have your new replacement teeth added the same day following implant placement. Your ability to eat and chew can be enjoyed much faster with the All-on-4\u00ae\ufe0f implant procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-on-4\u00ae\ufe0f is a good choice\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need to replace the majority of your natural teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have less available bone tissue and cannot have a bone graft<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a thorough examination to discuss your tooth replacement<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you desire to replace your missing teeth without dentures or the time required by a standard implant procedure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to save on costs compared with traditional dental implants<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advancedcenterforcosmeticdentistry.com\/contact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact your St. Petersburg Cosmetic Dentist Specialist, Dr. Roberto Macedo, DDS, MS, PhD.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about your missing teeth.
