At Mission Dental Group, our commitment to providing advanced restorative dentistry solutions brings the innovative All-on-4® Implants closer to patients in Los Angeles and Downey, CA. Led by Dr. Debora Jeong and Won Jung Jeong, our practice leverages extensive expertise in general dentistry to offer transformative dental services that can restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
Exploring the All-on-4® Implant Technique
The All-on-4® implant system is a groundbreaking approach in restorative dentistry that allows for the full replacement of a patient’s upper or lower set of teeth with just four dental implants per arch. This technique not only maximizes the use of available bone but also avoids the need for more invasive bone grafting procedures. Dr. Debora Jeong, with his vast experience in general dentistry, emphasizes the precision and care involved in planning and executing this procedure to ensure optimal outcomes for patients.
How Patients Benefit from All-on-4® Implants
- Immediate Functionality: Unlike traditional implants that may require months of healing before final teeth can be added, All-on-4® allows for immediate loading of provisional teeth.
- Enhanced Comfort: By securing a full arch using only four implants, patients experience less discomfort and a faster recovery than with conventional methods.
- Durability: Designed to last, these implants integrate with the bone, providing a stable and durable foundation for replacement teeth.
- Aesthetic Improvements: The prosthetic teeth attached to All-on-4® implants look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
Your Journey Towards Restoring Your Smile
The process of receiving All-on-4® implants involves several stages, starting with a detailed consultation at Mission Dental Group. During this initial visit, our dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan. Advanced imaging techniques are employed to guide the precise placement of the implants during surgery. Following implantation, temporary teeth are placed on the same day, leading towards the final step of fitting permanent prosthetic teeth after healing.
Setting Realistic Expectations for Your Treatment
Understanding what to expect before, during, and after your All-on-4® implant procedure is crucial for a positive experience. Our team ensures patients are well-informed about the recovery process—which typically involves minimal discomfort managed with over-the-counter pain relief—and the importance of oral hygiene practices to maintain implant health. Moreover, follow-up appointments at our Los Angeles or Downey locations are essential for monitoring progress and making any necessary adjustments.
