Downtown Las Vegas dentist Dr. Azimi offers All-on-4 procedure for patients with dentures
Also helps those in need of complete upper or lower teeth restorations
April 30, 2008
The Dr. Azimi dental team is focused on patient care and convenience. A relatively new implant procedure, offered by Nobel Biocare, is the All-on-4 immediate function dental restoration. The procedure provides for the quickest, most convenient treatment for some patients.
All-on-4 refers to a process by which four implants are inserted to hold a full set of new replacement teeth. After an initial consultation the procedure can be performed in just one appointment, and without bone grafts.
During the initial consultation Dr. Azimi’s team utilizes a three-dimensional CAT scan and software to plan the dental implant placement and design of the final replacement teeth. The new teeth are fabricated by Nobel Biocare and when everything has been prepared and delivered to Dr. Azimi’s office, the patient comes in for a one-time dental work appointment.
During the appointment the four implants are inserted in the patient’s mouth and the new teeth are attached. The patient leaves with new, permanent teeth.
“The All-on-4 process is particularly useful for people with dentures,” said Dr. Azimi. “The dentures can be replaced with permanent implants and fixed, non-removable replacement teeth all in one dental visit.”
Dr. Azimi’s team remains on the cutting edge of dental technology and practice. It is one of a select number of Southern Nevada dentists who offer the FDA approved All-on-4 dental procedure.
