Many people who need dental implants fret about the lengthy healing time before they can have their permanent crown or crowns placed. Sometimes, several months are necessary and, not always can a temporary crown be placed while the bone heals and grows around the implant.

Due to advances in technology, not only can the time be reduced, but the number of implants needed to support multiple teeth is fewer than it was before. Due to a process called All-on-4™, patients can have their implants and teeth placed in the same day. Rather than needing six to eight implants on the upper and lower jaw, our Teeth in a Day patients now only need four.

This process allows us to restore a complete arch of teeth is a single visit. For those who already have dentures, this process will provide them with security and aesthetics that were previously a much more involved and costly endeavor.
All-on-4 teeth are anchored into placed and are only removed by your dentist. You can now have the comfort and security of your natural teeth back in just ONE day. Only certain dentists and surgeons are trained in this procedure, so please research and ask questions of your dentist to make sure you achieve the outcome you are looking for.

Other benefits of All-on-4 include, avoiding the sinus surgery sometimes needed in those whose bone loss is significant, thus reducing the added cost and healing time associated with this procedure.

Dental implants can last years if properly cared for. Proper brushing and flossing habits, and coming in to Stow Dental Group every six months for your general dental check-up and cleaning help assure this.

If you have been told that it will take months for your dental implants to heal, or would like more information about the Teeth in a Day process please contact the experienced general and cosmetic dentists at Stow Dental Group for an initial consultation. We serve the Stow and Akron-Canton, Ohio area.
