Full-Mouth Dental Implants - Saratoga Springs, UT
All-on-Four Full-Mouth Dental Implants in Saratoga Springs, UT
Missing teeth can make eating and speaking challenging and can take a toll on your self-esteem and confidence.
At NuSmile, we offer All-on-Four full-arch dental implants, enabling more patients than ever to enjoy fully restored smiles without additional surgical procedures. While a minimum of four implants per arch is required, all-on-four to six in Saratoga Springs, UT, provides the flexibility to place six implants for improved stability and support.
With All-on-Four full-mouth dental implants in Saratoga Springs, UT, Dr. Jeremy Thompson places implants with the assistance of the Yomi® dental robot. Strategic placement of implants at specific angles maximizes the use of available bone, minimizes the need for bone grafting, and allows temporary teeth to be placed the same day in most cases.
You may be a suitable candidate for All-on-Four at NuSmile if you have many missing or failing teeth, are completely edentulous (toothless), or are unhappy with ill-fitting dentures. If you’re only missing one tooth or several, a crown or implant-supported dental bridge is a more appropriate solution. With that said, we need to determine your candidacy based on the following key factors.
Before All-on-Four implant surgery, you must be free of oral health issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. This ensures a healthy foundation for your implants and reduces the risk of implant failure.
Sufficient jawbone volume and density are required for implants to fully integrate and form a stable foundation for restorations. All-on-four to six often eliminates the need for bone augmentation in patients with mild-to-moderate jawbone loss. But even if you have significant bone atrophy, preparatory bone grafting can help you become a good candidate for full-arch dental implants in Saratoga Springs, UT.
Tobacco use is associated with an increased risk of dental implant failure, as well as numerous other oral and general health concerns. We recommend stopping all tobacco use before your implant placement and not resuming until after your implants have completely fused.
Every implant-restored smile begins with a complimentary dental implant consultation, including an oral exam, digital imaging, and a discussion about your concerns and goals. To ensure you make an informed decision about moving forward with full-mouth dental implants, our team will answer your questions, discuss all your options, and explain everything you need to know. If you don’t require a preparatory treatment, we may be able to place implants the same day as your consultation.
Digital impressions are taken, enabling our dental lab technician to fabricate your custom denture at our in-house dental lab. Intraoral cameras eliminate the need for messy and often uncomfortable putty impressions.
In addition to a local anesthetic to numb your gums, we offer IV sedation in Saratoga Springs, UT. Our anesthesiologist administers sedation and monitors your vitals throughout treatment to ensure your comfort and safety. We’ll provide preoperative and postoperative sedation guidelines that are important to follow.
Small incisions are made in your gums, and either four or six implants are placed per arch. During the procedure, Yomi guides Dr. Thompson’s hand to follow the exact planned trajectory for drilling and implant placement. Typically, several implants are placed vertically at the front, while two or more are angled toward the back of each arch.
After the implants are placed, Dr. Thompson secures temporary healing teeth to your implants. This immediately restores partial function and eliminates the embarrassment of a toothless smile.
Follow-up visits after getting full-mouth dental implants are essential for monitoring healing, preventing complications, and ensuring long-term success. During these visits, Dr. Thompson checks implant stability, assesses your oral hygiene, and makes sure healing and fusion are progressing as expected.
After your implants have fully integrated with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, it’s time to swap out temporary teeth for your final prosthesis. Artfully crafted from durable, natural-looking zirconia, your new prosthesis offers superior strength and aesthetics, resists stains and fractures, and is extremely durable.
While Yomi reduces pain, it’s still normal to experience some discomfort during the first few days after implant surgery. Following a few tips can help make your recovery as smooth as possible.
In addition to 30 years of experience placing full-arch dental implants in Saratoga Springs, UT, Dr. Thompson uses next-gen technology to elevate patient care. The Yomi robot enhances procedural planning and assists with implant placement, thereby minimizing soft-tissue damage and increasing surgical precision.
With All-on-Four full-arch dental implants placed by a global leader in Yomi robotics, you’ll experience exceptionally secure and stable implants, less pain, and faster results. In addition, IV sedation allows you to receive full-mouth dental implants without stress and wake up with a new smile!
Implants are made of durable and biocompatible titanium and designed to last a lifetime with implant maintenance. With proper oral hygiene and professional care, your fixed zirconia teeth should also last for decades.
You should treat your dental implants and fixed prosthesis just as you would natural teeth. Be sure to brush with nonabrasive toothpaste and don’t forget to floss. It’s also essential to maintain regular dental visits and exams to keep your smile beautiful and healthy for years to come.
Initial healing typically occurs in the first 10 days after surgery, with discomfort and swelling gradually subsiding. But the crucial bone-fusing phase of healing usually takes 3–6 months.
With local anesthesia and IV sedation, you won’t feel pain during your procedure. And thanks to Yomi, our patients report less pain following surgery. Most NuSmile patients report pain between 0 and 4 on a 1–10 pain scale during the two to three days after surgery. This makes it less painful than tooth extraction!
