Expect more from your teeth.

Just because you are missing one or more teeth doesn’t mean you can’t have a functional, attractive smile. The answer may be dental implants. Many consider dental implants to be among the best options when replacing a single tooth or even an entire row of teeth. 

The All-on-4 procedure offers a reliable and efficient solution for restoring a full set of teeth, providing significant improvements in function, aesthetics, and quality of life for patients.

“Teeth in a Day”

The term "Teeth in a Day" is often used to describe the All-on-4 dental implant procedure because it highlights one of the most appealing features of the treatment: patients can receive a full set of functional, aesthetically pleasing teeth in a single day.

  • "All-on-4" is a dental implant procedure that offers a solution for people who are missing a significant number of teeth. The technique uses four dental implants to support a full arch of teeth, either upper or lower. These implants are strategically placed in the jawbone to maximize support and stability.

    • Consultation and Planning: A thorough examination, including X-rays and possibly 3D imaging, is conducted to assess the patient's oral health and plan the placement of the implants.

    • Implant Placement: Four implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone. The back implants are typically angled to maximize contact with the bone, providing greater support.

    • Temporary Dentures: A temporary set of teeth is attached to the implants on the same day or shortly after the surgery, allowing the patient to leave the office with a full set of functioning teeth.

    • Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants integrate with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.

    • Final Restoration: After the implants have fully integrated, a permanent set of teeth is custom-made and attached to the implants.

    • Immediate Functionality: Patients can leave the dental office with a full set of functioning teeth on the same day as the surgery.

    • Stability and Comfort: The fixed nature of the implants provides more stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures.

    • Bone Preservation: Implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth.

    • Improved Aesthetics: The permanent teeth look and feel more natural.

    • Candidacy: Not all patients are suitable candidates for the All-on-4 procedure. Factors such as bone density, overall health, and oral hygiene habits play a role in determining eligibility.

    • Cost: The procedure can be expensive, although it might be more cost-effective than individual implants for each missing tooth.

    • Maintenance: While the implants themselves can last a lifetime with proper care, the attached teeth may need replacement after several years due to wear and tear.
