All-on-4 Dental Implants

Patients suffering from missing teeth understand the difficulties of living day-to-day with gaps in their smiles, but they may not realize how significantly lost teeth impact their overall health. The roots of a tooth do more than just hold the tooth in place: they provide important signals to the underlying tissue to keep your jawbone strong. When a tooth is lost, the lack of signals begins a slow process of bone atrophy that can lead to further tooth loss and a prematurely aging appearance.

Dental implants are the gold standard of tooth replacement because they are the only treatment that can stop jawbone atrophy. The titanium or ceramic dental implants act like prosthetic tooth roots and actually fuse with the jawbone over the course of four to six months. They supply that all-important jaw stimulation while also providing the strongest foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. With All-on-4 implants, our Montreal, QC, dentists can restore your smile and safeguard your oral and overall health at the same time.
 

All-on-4 dental implants can often be placed in spite of bone loss, but your jaw still needs a certain degree of density to support them to avoid the risk of implant failure. If you have suffered significant jawbone atrophy after losing your teeth, you may not be an immediate candidate for traditional dental implants or All-on-4. However, our Montreal dentists offer two treatments that can get you back on track with your implant treatment plan—bone grafts and sinus lifts.

Using donor tissue, synthetic tissue, or tissue from your own body, we can replenish lost jawbone material and create a healthy and stable foundation for your dental implants. Thanks to our high-resolution imaging technology, these procedures can be performed with extreme accuracy, smaller incisions, and greater comfort, all in less time than it would take otherwise.

The dental implant process is intricate. The All-on-4 method, with its unique approach, is no different. We place a premium on patient education, so if you have any questions at all about your dental implant options, including All-on-4, we're more than happy to answer them.

Our father-and-son dentists, Charles and Patrick Casey, stay at the forefront of their field. Dr. Charles Casey was one of the first dentists in Montreal to offer preventative dentistry, a now-standard field of care. He regularly attends seminars, conventions, and lectures to stay up-to-date with the latest developments.

Dr. Patrick Casey attended the world-renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies and is one of the few dentists in Montreal who is certified to administer sedation during procedures. He also places great emphasis on continuing education.

Our dentists are ready to share what they've learned through years of practice and education with you. Whatever your questions or concerns, we'll make sure you receive an answer that leaves you feeling empowered about the course of your care. It all begins with a consultation here in Montreal.

Insurance Coverage for Dental Implants:

If you have dental insurance, your provider will likely help cover the cost of your custom implant-supported denture. However, it's important to know that insurance almost never covers the actual dental implants.

Our Montreal practice accepts most types of dental insurance. Because we use all-digital X-rays, it's easier to reproduce scans and send them to insurance companies for quicker claim reviews. We'll be happy to do just that for you, as well as file the claim on your behalf and work with your provider to secure the most coverage possible from your plan.
