All-on-four treatments in St Louis Park and Bloomington, MN

Have you heard of “All-On- Four Treatments?” Krengel Dental is the leading independent company providing cost-efficient All-On-Four treatment programs in St. Louis Park and Bloomington, Minn. 

What is All-On-Four about? These treatments have been around since 1998. Portuguese dental researcher, Dr. Paulo Malo, theorized that strategically placing four implants in the jawbone could provide patients with adequate support for an entire arch of interdental or posterior implants.

These treatments apply in countless situations, including where a patient suffers extensive tooth loss from accidents, advanced age, or tooth decay.

How Do All-On-Four Treatments Work?

After thousands of tests and modifications, All-On-Four treatments have become a widely accepted rehabilitative treatment. It is scientifically supported and patient-friendly.

The “Four” refers to how many dental implants support an entire set of lower and upper teeth. These implants function like anchors, allowing dentists to maintain and install arches more efficiently. That means our team will only have to work with four substructures in your gum line, and we won’t have to replace or repair each tooth separately.

Here’s how it works:

• Our All-On-Four experts will assess the health of your jawbone for decayed tissues and structural problems.
• After an X-ray or CT scan, we will create a small incision on your gum line. It takes twenty minutes and only requires local anesthesia.
• We will give you a recovery schedule, allowing the gums to heal for several weeks.

On your second visit, we will place the four titanium dental posts. These posts will protrude from your gum line and hold an entire arch in place. This part of the procedure does not require anesthesia and takes less than half an hour.
