00:00:06.458 --> 00:00:10.042 Firstly, a dental implant is nothing but a small titanium post 00:00:10.125 --> 00:00:11.708 we place inside the bone. 00:00:13.042 --> 00:00:18.042 This small titanium post, which is pretty much as big as a nail. 00:00:18.250 --> 00:00:21.708 About a centimeter in length or 10 millimeters in length. 00:00:21.958 --> 00:00:27.042 This implant can be placed in bone, and it can anchor a single tooth, 00:00:27.417 --> 00:00:28.667 two teeth or all teeth. 00:00:29.292 --> 00:00:31.958 All on four is a breakthrough revolutionary concept 00:00:32.042 --> 00:00:35.917 where we put these implants in strategically-angled positions 00:00:36.625 --> 00:00:40.458 to replace an entire set of teeth in the jawbone. 00:00:40.708 --> 00:00:43.208 Just by using minimum of four implants. 00:00:43.292 --> 00:00:46.875 It does not mean all patients get four implants, 00:00:47.125 --> 00:00:50.375 but just by using minimum of four implants, 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.375 you can replace the entire set of teeth. 00:00:52.458 --> 00:00:55.708 Sometimes we place six implants, sometimes we place five implants. 00:00:56.292 --> 00:01:01.250 The breakthrough in science and technology is that just by using four implants, 00:01:02.167 --> 00:01:07.917 you can get a permanent set of teeth that does not come out during the night 00:01:08.083 --> 00:01:11.292 compared to a denture, which is extremely bulky, 00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:16.500 extremely uncomfortable with sore parts and everything, 00:01:16.708 --> 00:01:21.875 and all on four bridge is permanently anchored to the implants, 00:01:22.292 --> 00:01:23.750 does not cause sore part, 00:01:23.875 --> 00:01:27.792 patients can eat and chew what they want to eat and chew 00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:29.833 since it doesn't cover the palate. 00:01:29.917 --> 00:01:31.333 When you drink hot coffee, 00:01:31.750 --> 00:01:34.500 you can feel the warmth of the coffee unlike a denture. 00:01:34.917 --> 00:01:36.375 And psychologically, 00:01:37.458 --> 00:01:41.625 the person who invented dental implants in 1960s in Sweden 00:01:41.708 --> 00:01:45.417 said nobody should die with their teeth in a glass of water. 00:01:46.250 --> 00:01:49.958 All on four treatment perfectly embraces that concept. 00:01:51.208 --> 00:01:53.292 Patients can smile confidently. 00:01:53.375 --> 00:01:55.958 They can feel like they became whole again. 00:01:56.375 --> 00:01:58.208 That's the beauty of this treatment.
