For our patients facing the loss of an entire arch of teeth or those struggling with uncomfortable and ill-fitting dentures, All-on-5 implants offer a revolutionary and highly effective solution. At Acre Wood Dental in Waco, we specialize in this advanced implant technique, providing a stable, permanent, and natural-looking alternative to traditional removable dentures. With All-on-5, you can regain the ability to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence and comfort.
What Are All-on-5 Implants?
All-on-5 implants are an innovative dental implant treatment procedure designed to restore an entire arch of teeth (either upper or lower jaw) using a strategically placed set of five dental implants. While similar to the well-known "All-on-4" concept, the use of five implants can provide enhanced stability and support, particularly for patients who may benefit from the additional anchor points or have specific bone density considerations.
All-on-5 implants work through:
- Strategic Placement: Five precisely placed dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, often utilizing areas with greater bone density to maximize stability and minimize the need for extensive bone grafting.
- Immediate Potential: In many cases, a temporary full arch of teeth can be attached to these implants on the very same day of the implant placement, allowing you to leave our office with a functional and aesthetic smile.
- Permanent Prosthesis: After a healing period where the implants integrate with your jawbone (osseointegration), a custom-designed, permanent full arch bridge or denture is created and securely attached to the five implants. This prosthesis is fixed and not removable by the patient.
Why Choose All-on-5 Implants?
Choosing All-on-5 implants at Acre Wood Dental offers benefits like:
- A permanent, fixed restoration
- Enhanced stability and strength
- Reduced discomfort compared to traditional dentures
- Preservation of jawbone health
- Restored chewing ability, clear speech, and a significantly boosted self-confidence that comes with a complete, natural-looking smile
Your new teeth can be cleaned and cared for much like natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing.
