All on Four

Are you putting off dental treatment because you think it's going to be a long, drawn out process that you would rather not have to deal with?

Or are you worried that you'll be left toothless in between treatments, and can't face the thought of spending days going backwards and forwards for more work to be done?

Dentistry needn't be as much of a trial as you think, and it needn't be as painful as you expect it to be, either. The innovative All-on-4 service from Vermilion can give you a better looking smile in just one day.

Many of us suffer in silence with less-than-perfect teeth, but failing teeth can cause pain, discomfort and distress if they aren’t repaired. In some people, teeth can start to loosen and fall out due to advanced untreated gum disease, or in some cases people can find that existing dental work which was carried out many years ago, like crowns and bridges, can fail simply through wear and tear.

Because Vermilion uses a new technique that only needs four implants, the All-on-4 procedure is much quicker than fitting a traditional eight-implant bridge would be, so if you’re stuck with teeth that need replacing or perhaps a loose denture that is giving you grief, there's no need to put off the inevitable trip to the dentist any longer. You can walk away from Vermillion with a brand new fixed bridge on dental implants in just one day. Just turn up at the centre in the morning and leave before the end of the working day with a beaming new smile.

What happens?

Over a number of preparatory visits, you'll have detailed consultations with the clinic™ prosthodontist and oral surgeon, who will also carry out a 3D analysis of your teeth and bone. Once they have talked it all through with you and agreed on the best course of action, either full arch fixed bridgework on a minimum of four implants, or full arch removable bridgework (also on four implants) you will be booked in for your day at the clinic.

The team uses conscious sedation to remove any failing teeth, and then they fit the implants. Conscious sedation means that you might be aware of what i€™s going on, but you will be drowsy and sleepy, and in effect, won't really care!

Your denture will be made by skilled prosthodontists while you have a snooze in the comfortable recovery room, and the provisional bridge will be fitted in the afternoon.

After four to six months, if you’re opting for the fixed bridge, your final fixed bridge will be made, and although you will have to return for four more appointments so that the experts can make sure all is well, they will then fit the permanent fixed bridge and leave you with a long-lasting smile.
Now, that didn't hurt much at all, did it?
