All On 4 in Myrtle Beach, SC
All-on-4 is a full-arch cosmetic restoration that uses multiple dental implants as a base for a fixed denture, which means patients get all the stability, comfort, and function of implants in a time-efficient procedure.
Removable dentures can restore a full mouth of teeth, but they often cause discomfort and the inability to eat the foods you want. You must replace dentures every few years and if not professionally fitted, they can slide around and cause sores. Many people feel embarrassed when having to remove dentures during meals. These inconveniences disappear with full-arch restoration.
Is All-on-4 Right for You?
Implant-supported dentures are a great option, as long as there is sufficient bone structure and you have generally good medical health.
While implants add great stability to allow a person to enjoy eating food and smile with confidence, it is important to consider your individual goals. Some people want restoration that is fixed or permanent, while others prefer an implant-supported removable prosthesis.
What Should You Expect When Getting All-on-4 With Michael J. Maser, DMD, MAGD?
Dr. Maser’s vast education allows our office to control planning, surgical placement, along with the end esthetic restorative result. The whole treatment from start to finish is done in house to ensure that your implant is placed correctly and looks and feels perfect, just like your own natural teeth.
During your first appointment at our Myrtle Beach dental office, we will take 3D scans of your mouth and face and design your personalized treatment plan. On the day of your procedure, Dr. Maser will insert several dental implant posts. You will wear a temporary prosthesis while the implants heal. This is all completed in a single surgical visit. You will walk into our office with your old smile, and leave with a new, natural-looking smile that you can enjoy immediately.
Over the next few months, your implants will integrate with your jaw and create a secure and permanent base for your new teeth. This integration will help prevent your jawbone from any deterioration. We will creates your final, custom set of teeth. Once the implants fully heal, we will attach the teeth. Your final set of teeth will look just like natural teeth, and you will be able to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
How Should Maintain Your New Smile?
As with natural teeth, any implant restoration needs regular daily hygiene and regular checkups and cleanings at our Myrtle Beach dental office.
