Implant, Denture, or All-On-4®?

At Wildflower Dental in Sun City AZ, we want all our patients to stay up to date on the most advanced implant dentistry procedures available. With modern advances in dental implants, patients can now take advantage of various different options. Our team has put together this primer on the differences between dental implants, snap-in implant dentures, and All-On-4®.

DENTAL IMPLANT OPTIONS

Though all three procedures are connected to implant dentistry, they all differ when it comes to application and need. Whatever your unique dental goals are, our team is willing and able to help you find the best option for you!

Dental Implants: The most basic, straightforward implant procedure, and one that actually works in tandem with the other two, dental implants consist of titanium rods that are placed into the jaw. Implants can replace either one missing teeth, or a group of them. They are easy to clean, do not affect the health of neighboring teeth, retain bone tissue in the extraction site, and, when properly care for, can last a lifetime.

Snap-in Implant Dentures: These are used to replace a full arch of teeth and make use of dental implants in order to fasten securely to your jaw. They are a cleaner option than standard dentures, as they involve no messy adhesives, don’t slip, and are less bulky. Snap-in dentures also make your smile look fuller and restore vitality to your face.

All-On-Four®: This revolutionary implant technology gives you a full arch of functioning teeth in one day! By replacing four teeth at once, All-On-Four® takes away the need for multiple visits and ongoing, professional maintenance. You’ll still need to come in every 6 months for a cleaning, but with All-On-Four®, you can restore up to 90% of your chewing ability in just a few hours.
