For individuals seeking a comprehensive solution to restore their smile and overall oral health, All on 4 dental implants or All on X offer a transformative approach. This technique, provided by the periodontists at MK Periodontics and Implants in Tacoma, involves strategically placing as few as four dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Dental implant placement can provide a stable and functional alternative to traditional dentures, enhancing aesthetics and quality of life.

What Is All on 4 and All on X?

  • All on 4 Dental Implants: A specific technique using four implants to support a full set of replacement teeth, often good for those with less bone.
  • All on X Dental Implants: A broader term meaning any full set of replacement teeth supported by multiple implants (the “X” can be any number), allowing for customized solutions.

The specific method and the number of implants used in a dental implant procedure are determined on a case-by-case basis. Factors such as bone density, jaw structure, and individual patient needs will influence the optimal number and placement of implants. A thorough consultation with one of our periodontists is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

All on 4 Dental Implant Benefits

  • Enhanced Stability and Function: Full arch restoration is designed to maximize bone support, often eliminating the need for extensive bone grafting. This stability allows for improved chewing function and speech clarity.
  • Holistic Integration: By restoring proper occlusion and function, All on 4 dental implants or All on X dental implants contribute to overall well-being. Proper chewing facilitates efficient digestion and nutrient absorption, which are key components of a holistic health approach.
  • Aesthetic Restoration: The replacement teeth are custom-designed to complement individual facial features, resulting in a natural-looking and confident smile.

Digital Planning for Precision and Predictability

We utilize advanced digital planning technology to provide precise and predictable implant placement for All on 4 and All on X cases and immediate implants. This technology allows for:

  • Comprehensive Assessment: Digital imaging and 3D modeling enable a thorough evaluation of bone structure and anatomical landmarks.
  • Virtual Planning: Implant placement is virtually planned, optimizing positioning for stability and aesthetics.
  • Surgical Guide Fabrication: Precise surgical guides are created to allow for the most accurate implant placement possible.

Immediate Implants and Provisional Crowns in the Esthetic Zone

For anterior implant cases, we offer immediate implant placement with immediate provisional implant crowns. This approach provides:

  • Immediate Aesthetic Restoration: Patients can leave the office with a functional and aesthetically pleasing temporary crown.
  • Minimized Treatment Time: Immediate placement reduces the overall treatment duration.
  • Enhanced Patient Comfort: This technique minimizes the need for multiple procedures.
  • Natural Healing Process: The body has a natural ability to heal itself. Alongside our advanced implant procedures, we offer a suite of complementary therapies designed to enhance your overall well-being, including BEMER Pulsed Physical Vascular Therapy and Kangen Water.
