If you have many missing or failing teeth, or if you already wear dentures, you may not have considered All-on-4 dental implants in Stroudsburg, PA as a solution. At THRIVE Perio and Implants, Dr. Nolf has found that nearly all of his patients are good candidates for dental implants, and he wants this life-changing innovation to be accessible to everyone.
All-on-4 dental implants (also called All on Four dental implants, or All-on-4 dentures) are implants that go on four titanium posts. Dr. Nolf uses special, custom-made chrome guides to place these implants, allowing him to provide you with replacement teeth on the same day as your procedure. Through a process called osseointegration, these titanium posts slowly fuse with your jawbone, giving your new dental implants the strength to last a lifetime. This tooth replacement solution minimizes the stress your body is under, while still giving you sturdy restorations that restore up to 99% of your biting and chewing power.
Dental implants are made up of three parts: a post that is implanted into your jawbone, a restoration that mimics the function of your missing teeth and an abutment that joins these sections.
Dr. Nolf has had four decades to refine his technique when it comes to dental implants, and at THRIVE Perio and Implants, you can expect nothing but the most cutting-edge technology. At your initial consultation, he’ll take detailed scans of your mouth and jaw. This will help him determine whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants, and it will also help him create his surgical guides. You’ll also discuss your goals and your overall health. The next visit is your dental implant surgery: our on-staff anesthesiologist will ensure that you feel no pain as Dr. Nolf extracts any teeth that need to be removed and inserts the posts. You’ll come away with a temporary tooth replacement on the same day as your surgery!
Over the next few months, you’ll see Dr. Nolf for follow-up visits to make sure that you’re healing properly. Once the swelling has gone down, you’ll come back to receive your final restoration. You can take care of these restorations as if they were your natural teeth: brush and floss them daily, and come in to our office for regular checkups.
There are a lot of advantages to dental implants over dentures or other tooth reconstructions.
Dr. Nolf is able to provide you with a temporary restoration on the same day as your dental implant surgery, allowing you to smile wide right away.
Dentures have to be replaced and re-lined every five to 10 years. Dental implants, on the other hand, can last decades or even a lifetime.
Because All-on-4 dental implants go directly into your jaw, they provide natural stimulation to your jawbone, reducing jawbone loss compared to dentures. You won’t have to worry about your face changing due to missing teeth.
Because we custom-craft all of our dental implants to match your teeth, gums and even your skin tone, they provide a fully natural-looking replacement for your teeth.
