All-on-4

The All-on-4 Advantage

Dental implants with the All-on-4 process offer a wide range of benefits:

• Teeth will look and feel natural, providing a confident smile.
• Fantastic results with a shorter treatment time.
• Elimination of discomfort or soreness some experience with ordinary dentures or bridges.
• No slipping, allowing normal speaking and eating.
• Only one surgery required.
• Non-removable or removable.

Letting Lost Teeth Go Untreated Can Cause a Number of Problems:

• Missing teeth can affect what foods or drinks can be consumed, which can lead to poor nutrition and overall health.
• Your bite can also be affected, causing teeth to line up improperly which can lead to possible jaw joint or other bite problems.
• Self-esteem can be reduced as well, if you feel self-conscious and worry about people noticing missing teeth.

The All-on-4 Process

• First, an initial exam is conducted to determine if you’re a good candidate for All-on-4. 
• During your appointment, you’re given the necessary anesthesia or sedation. Your bone is reduced, and the four implants and abutments are then placed, as are the temporary crowns.
• After the procedure is complete, you’re given the necessary medication, antibiotics, and post-op instructions. You will also have a follow-up appointment a week later to check on your status and remove your sutures.
• After a few months, your final restorations will be placed. Now you will have a fantastic new smile!
