The Process for All-on-4 in El Paso
At El Paso Modern Dentistry, we want you to have the best experience possible with your All-on-4 dental implant treatment. If you’re unsure whether All-on-4 in El Paso is the right solution for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Enrique Darancou to discuss your options.
- Initial Consultation and Assessment: Dr. Darancou will evaluate your oral health, including a physical exam, X-rays, and a 3D CT scan to assess bone density and plan your treatment.
- Treatment Planning: Based on the assessment, Dr. Darancou will create a treatment plan outlining implant placement, restorations, and any preparatory treatments, such as extractions or bone grafting.
- Implant Placement Procedure: The All-on-4 method uses four implants to support a full arch, placed in areas with optimal bone density under local anesthesia or sedation. We will insert titanium screws and close the site for healing.
- Healing and Osseointegration: The bone will fuse with the implants over several months. Dr. Darancou will advise you to maintain a soft diet and good oral hygiene during this period.
- Final Restoration: Once healed, we replace the temporary prosthetics with a permanent set of custom-made teeth. Dr. Darancou ensures they are properly aligned and adjusted for comfort and function.
- Aftercare and Maintenance: Regular check-ups and at-home care, such as brushing and flossing, will ensure the longevity of your implants. Dr. Darancou will offer personalized advice for maintaining your implants.
Considerations for All-on-4 Implants:
- Cost: All-on-4 implants typically have a higher upfront cost than dentures. However, their longevity and permanence can offset the cost over time. We offer flexible financing options to help make your treatment more affordable.
- Surgery: The All-on-4 procedure requires surgery, which may not be suitable for all patients. Sufficient bone density is necessary, and you must discuss any health concerns with Dr. Darancou during the initial consultation.
- Time: The full process of getting All-on-4 implants can take several months, from the initial consultation to the final placement of permanent restorations.
