Welcome to Gage Dental Implants

To fully understand this remarkable technique for replacing teeth, you should first understand what a dental implant is. 

An implant is a small titanium screw that fits inside your jawbone and replaces the root-part of your tooth. Minor surgery is required to insert the implants. Once the implant is in place, a crown is attached to give you a highly realistic-looking and functional prosthetic tooth. 

You do not need a dental implant for each and every one of your missing teeth. All you need is four precisely placed implants on the top of your mouth, and four on the bottom, to restore your full smile. That’s the beauty of the all-on-four. 

All-on-4 Dental Implants give you the look and feel of natural teeth with the stability of fixed implants. Ordinary dentures sit on top of your gums, without stimulating bone growth. They can slip and cause sores and discomfort. 

All-on-4 dental implants are not only securely fixed, but there’s no plate covering the roof of the mouth, so speaking and eating is more comfortable and food tastes better. The ‘sunken look’, that happens when teeth are lost, is due to the loss of bone in the jaw. When dental implants are put into place, to anchor your dentures, bone begins to grow around the implant. This process is called osseointegration. Osseointegration not only keeps your implants secure, but it also fills out the part of the jaw that would have ‘sunken’ without support of the bone. All-on-4s combine the security of Dental Implants with the cost effectiveness of Dentures.

  And because the implant is made of titanium, it has the unique ability to fuse to living bone and function as part of it. So eventually, the dental implant becomes part of the jawbone and serves as a strong, long-lasting foundation for your new teeth.Besides ensuring that your implants are permanently fixed in place, this bone fusion has another important benefit: it prevents future bone loss in the jaw. This helps to maintain a more youthful facial structure—and better oral health. But perhaps the biggest surprise about the all-on-four is how quickly it can transform your life.
