What to expect when getting dental cone beam for dental implants and all-on 4 implants

When getting missing teeth replaced using this cutting-edge prosthetic, patients undergo a thorough examination to ensure they have enough sufficient bone tissue for the procedure. Dental cone beam CT scans are then used to get accurate measurements of the patient's mouth.

This procedure uses the placement of four implants that are designed to be attached to a prosthetic immediately after installation to secure the artificial teeth. Each implant is precisely placed in areas where the patient has lots of healthy bone tissue to ensure a solid fit. This reduces the need for bone grafting, and even patients who have dealt with some bone tissue regeneration can be eligible for this treatment.

The way the process works, two implants are places close to the back of the mouth while the other two are placed at the front. These implants are positioned at different angles to ensure a proper fit. It also ensures the implants can handle all the bite forces associated with chewing immediately after it is installed.

However, the implants will not be fully secure until they have had three to six months to fuse with the bone tissue holding them in place. This process is called osseointegration. Once this process is completed, the temporary dentures will be removed, and the permanent ones attached.
