Living with complete tooth loss or ill-fitting dentures can affect more than just your appearance. It impacts your diet, confidence, and quality of life. At Trio Dentistry in Mississauga, we offer All-on-4 dental implants a transformative full-arch solution that gives you a brand-new set of fixed teeth, often in a single day.
If you’ve been told dentures are your only option, read on to discover how All-on-4 implants can offer a secure, functional, and permanent smile restoration.
Why Choose All-on-4 Dental Implants
- All-on-4 replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants.
- This full-arch restoration is permanent, fixed, and natural-looking.
- Patients often receive a temporary set of teeth the same day as surgery.
- Ideal for denture wearers or patients with failing teeth, All-on-4 restores both function and confidence.
The Problem with Traditional Dentures
While removable dentures restore some function, they come with challenges:
- Looseness or poor fit
- Difficulty chewing certain foods
- Gum irritation and speech changes
- Jawbone deterioration over time
All-on-4 solves these issues with a fixed solution anchored by implants, giving you the stability of natural teeth.
What Are All-on-4 Implants?
All-on-4 implants use four dental implants per arch to support a full prosthetic bridge (set of artificial teeth). These implants are:
- Strategically angled to maximize available bone
- Placed using guided surgery
- Typically used with a same-day temporary prosthesis (teeth in a day)
After healing, the temporary is replaced with a custom zirconia or hybrid acrylic bridge.
