All-on-4^® Dental Implants in Fort Smith Give You a New Smile With Less Hassle

Replacing most or all of your teeth with dental implants is pretty amazing but can seem intimidating too. In some cases, you’ll need a lengthy healing period after your implants are placed before we can attach your replacement teeth to them. But it’s possible to reduce the hassle – and the expense – of full-mouth reconstruction with All-on-4^® dental implants in Fort Smith.

This dental implant treatment is:

• Easier on Your Jaw – We’ll attach a full arch of replacement teeth to four implants. This means less pressure on your jaw. Plus, since implants stimulate your jaw much like natural tooth roots, your jaw will stay strong and healthy.
• More Affordable – Since we use just four implants per arch, this procedure typically is less expensive than other full-mouth implant treatments. You likely won’t need an additional treatment, like a bone graft, to prepare your jaw for implants.
• Faster – With fewer implants, the procedure doesn’t take as long. You’ll also recover in less time and will make fewer trips to our office for progress checks.
• Good for Your Diet – Implants give you a bite strong enough to enjoy all your favorite foods, including healthy foods. In addition, when performed in your upper jaw, an All-on-4 procedure leaves your palate exposed so you can more fully taste your food.
• Convenient – Your replacement teeth remain in place, so no removal for cleaning is needed. Brush and floss them just like your natural teeth, and visit us for regular dental cleanings.
