All-on-4 Dental Implants

Have you been told you don't qualify for dental implants but still want the support they offer?

Patients with low jawbone density may qualify for All-on-4® dental implants.

Dr. Scott Azari uses the All-on-4 method to help patients in Port St. Lucie, FL, smile confidently again.  

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

/

Dental implants are titanium posts inserted into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots and support a prosthetic, such as a denture. Unlike traditional implant-supported dentures that require six or more implants, the All-on-4 method uses just four dental implants placed at strategic angles. 

Dental Implants Can Save the Health of Your Jaw

Your natural tooth roots are integral to the health of your jaw. Whenever you bite down, the roots stimulate the jawbone, keeping it healthy and strong. Without tooth roots, the jawbone begins to atrophy, leaving you at risk for changes to your facial appearance and dental health issues that can be expensive to fix.

Dental implant posts, including those used in All-on-4, fuse with the jaw over three to six months in a process called "osseointegration." They fill the role of missing roots to keep the jawbone strong and support the natural look of your face. No other dentistry solution can provide both of these benefits at once.

The Benefit of All-on-4® Dental Implants

Dr. Scott Azari explains how patients suffering from extensive tooth loss, damage, or decay can benefit from All-on-4® dental implants. All-on-4 implants secure dentures in place along the dental arch, eliminating the risk of slipping. This method restores a patient's oral function, allowing you to eat and speak properly once again.

The Step-by-Step Process To Gain a New Smile

Patients who don't qualify for traditional implants or can't afford traditional implants can find support and relief with All-on-4 dental implants. 
Patients who don't qualify for traditional implants or can't afford traditional implants can find support and relief with All-on-4 dental implants. 

Attending a Consultation

Start your dental process with a free consultation at our Port St. Lucie office where our dentist will inquire about your dental history, examine your mouth, and determine if you need preparatory procedures like tooth extractions. If you qualify for All-on-4 dental implants and Dr. Azari agrees that they are the best treatment for you, he will begin to plan your implant procedure. We use cone beam technology to view a 3D picture of your oral structures. Our dentist will then create a plan for placing your titanium implants using this advanced technology.

Placing the Implants

Unlike many dental practices that refer patients out for surgery, at Lucie Dental the entire implant process can be performed under one roof. Dr. Azari will numb the area with a local anesthetic so that you won't feel any pain during the procedure. Our dentist will then place the four implants, setting the two implants at the back of the mouth at an angle for maximum stability. The entire dental procedure is usually quicker than a traditional implant procedure.  

Waiting Period

You'll be given a temporary set of dentures or asked to use your existing pair of dentures following the procedure. The implants need time to fuse to the jawbone and heal properly before the permanent restoration can be placed. This process typically takes three to four months.

Finalizing Your Smile

After your healing period and once your custom denture is ready, join us in our dental office for placement. Our dentist will work with you to make any necessary final adjustments before sending you on your way with a beautiful new smile that looks just like natural teeth.

Tips for a Smooth Recovery After Your Implant Placement

Because All-on-4 uses fewer implant posts than traditional tooth replacement methods, the recovery period can be shorter and easier; however, it is still important to follow the instructions provided by your Port St. Lucie dentist to ensure the best results after your procedure. Some tips that can ease your recovery include:

Take Some Time To Rest

Following your implant placement procedure, take one to three days off from work and your regular activities to focus on resting. The more time you give yourself to rest, the better.

Be Mindful of Your Diet

Stick to a soft food diet until your implant posts have fused with your jawbone. Once you receive your permanent denture, you should notice improved stability when eating and speaking.

Brush Gently

Maintain good oral hygiene, but be gentle when brushing around your implant sites.

Manage Your Pain

Use over-the-counter medication to manage any discomfort, which shouldn't last long.

What's the Cost?

Restoring a full arch of teeth with the All-on-4 method can cost as little as $14,500 at our practice; however, treatment costs are unique to every individual. For example, preparatory procedures such as periodontal cleaning or tooth extractions will add to the total cost.

While Lucie Dental accepts all insurances, few insurance policies cover All-on-4 implants because they are considered a cosmetic dental procedure; however, we pride ourselves on having the best prices in town and offer financing options to our patients. Our Port St. Lucie, FL, dental office will work with you to formulate a financing payment plan. 

Many patients receive financing through CareCredit®, a healthcare lender that can break the cost of your treatment into small monthly payments. CareCredit also offers low-interest or interest-free loans depending on prior credit approval.

The All-on-4 method is popular not only from its benefits for your oral health but also because in many cases, it can mean a lower price. Because bone grafting is less likely to be needed and fewer implants are required, some patients can save by opting for All-on-4 dental implants over traditional implant-supported dentures.
