What Are All-on-4® Implants?

All-on-4® dental implants, also known as Teeth-in-a-Day, are an entire arch of implant-supported replacement teeth using four dental implants to anchor an entire arch of missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. This innovative technique strategically angles and places dental implants to overcome jawbone density and quantity deficiencies when all your teeth are missing.

The All-on-4® procedure is an alternative to traditional dentures, which can be uncomfortable and less supportive of your lifestyle and oral health. The treatment restores dental function and improves your quality of life, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently.

Overall, All-on-4® dental implants offer a long-term, effective solution if you have lost most or all your teeth.

Why Is All-On-4® the Optimal Choice for Teeth Replacement?

All-on-4® dental implants are the optimal choice for teeth replacement for the following reasons:

·  Provides an entire arch of teeth with just four implants: The procedure is quicker, less invasive, and more affordable than individual dental implants.

·  Requires minimal bone grafting: Angled dental implants can prevent the need for bone grafting, even in patients with low bone density. Therefore, the process is shorter, and the overall treatment cost is lower.

·  Improves comfort and stability: Stabilizing a denture with dental implants improves oral function and your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

·  Promotes longevity and durability: All-on-4® dental implants’ design provides a long-term solution to missing teeth for many years.

·  Enables faster recovery: Fewer implants require less healing time, enabling faster recovery and a return to normal activities.

·  Produces natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing results: High-quality materials and advanced techniques create natural-looking teeth that blend seamlessly with the natural teeth and gums.

What Is the All-on-4® Dental Implants Process?

We ensure the success of All-on-4® dental implants by adhering to a well-planned process and sequence of appointments that include the following:  

1. Consultation and Treatment Planning:

Initially, you will meet with Dr. Saleh to determine if All-on-4® is the right treatment option for you. He will complete a thorough oral examination, review your medical history, and discuss your goals and expectations for the treatment. Depending on your unique situation, he may recommend additional procedures.

2. Preparing for Implants:

Before undergoing the All-on-4® procedure, a clinical staff member will take a series of X-rays and CT scans to plan the process, ensuring precise implant placement.

3. Implant Placement:

Dr. Saleh will surgically place the implant into your jawbone during this stage. Typically, he will place four to six dental implant sat specific angles to support an entire arch of replacement teeth. He will attach your temporary denture to the implants at this appointment for a beautiful smile transformation.

4. Healing Phase:

Over the next several months, your gums and jawbone will heal, allowing the implants to fuse with surrounding tissues and become anchored in your jawbone. You will have several follow-up appointments to monitor the progress.

5. Attaching the Permanent Restoration:

After healing, your temporary dentures will be replaced with a custom-made permanent restoration. Dr. Saleh and his ceramist will design replacement teeth that look and feel like beautiful natural teeth. He will screw the non-removable denture onto the implants.

The exact sequence of your appointments for the All-on-4® procedure may vary depending on your unique oral health. Dr. Saleh will give you a personalized treatment plan and schedule to achieve your goal of a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile.
