Charlotte, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/01/2015 -- According to statistics published by the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, 69 percent of adults between the ages of 35 and 44 have lost at least one of their permanent teeth. 26 percent of adults have lost every single permanent tooth by the time they reach the age of 74. Because tooth loss can impact both oral health and self-esteem, these statistics are concerning to say the least.

It is with this concern in mind that Harrell Dental Implant Center in Charlotte NC is introducing patients with tooth loss to the concept of All-On-4. This is a special type of dental solution that helps patients who have lost all of their teeth or are soon to lose them recover the beautiful smile they once had. The team at Harrell Dental Implant Center is excited to introduce this procedure to Charlotte residents.

Dr. Robert Harrell, the skillful dentist at the helm of this practice, stated "Patients who have lost or will soon lose all of their teeth mistakenly believe that traditional dentures are their only hope for smile restoration. It's vital for these people to know that the All-on-4 Dental Implants are a much better solution. We strategically place four surgical-grade titanium posts through the upper and lower jaw or upper and lower arc. Then, we use a durable, biocompatible Prettau Implant Bridge to create a full set of teeth. The result is a permanent tooth-replacement system that looks completely natural, matches the function of natural teeth and requires no special care beyond daily brushing and flossing."

Harrell goes on to say, "Imagine resting comfortably in the dentist's chair and waking up with your brand new smile. This is what the All-On-4 procedure offers to patients. Everything will be completed in one location and by one dentist. This makes the procedure convenient for patients and allows them to avoid the uncomfortable empty mouth syndrome that comes with getting traditional dentures."

"Once patients find out about the procedure, their next question is often How much do dental implants cost? The best thing about the All-On-4 procedure is that it not only reduces treatment complexity and the time spent in the office, but it is also less costly than traditional implant treatments. We are proud to be able to offer this to our patients as a way to help them regain their oral health and boost their confidence levels with a brand new beautiful smile."
