Dental Implant FAQ'S
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, ensuring a natural look and feel.
The All-on-4 procedure at Perio Vital Clinic involves:
- Consultation: A comprehensive evaluation of your oral health and personalized treatment planning.
- Implant Placement: Four implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, often allowing for immediate attachment of a temporary prosthetic.
- Final Restoration: After healing, a custom permanent prosthetic is fitted for a natural-looking smile.

Candidates for All-on-4 dental implants typically include individuals with extensive tooth loss or those transitioning from dentures. A consultation at Perio Vital Clinic will help determine your suitability for the procedure.
Choosing All-on-4 dental implants offers several advantages:
- Immediate Results: Many patients receive a temporary prosthetic on the same day.
- Bone Preservation: The technique often eliminates the need for bone grafting.
- Cost-Effective: Fewer implants lead to lower overall treatment costs.
- Natural Appearance: Custom prosthetics that closely resemble natural teeth.
The initial implant placement can typically be completed in one appointment, with a temporary prosthetic attached immediately. The healing phase may take several months, after which your permanent prosthetic will be fitted.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the All-on-4 procedure due to local anesthesia. At Perio Vital Clinic, we focus on patient comfort, and any post-operative pain can be managed effectively with medications.
