The All-on-4 solution!

During the procedure, your new set of teeth will be secured all on 4 to 6 dental implants. The All-on-4 procedure can typically be completed in one day and can be done under local anesthesia or IV sedation if you prefer to sleep through this process.
Why dentures are not a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth
Natural teeth have roots that are held in place by the jawbone. It is the tooth roots that stimulate your jawbone each time you chew your food. Since there are no roots to support a denture, a denture cannot function like natural teeth.
Each day you wear a denture, your jawbone shrinks a little more. Eventually, your denture will no longer fit and will need to be replaced due to the loss of jawbone. If you wear a denture, you may have noticed that it slips when you eat or talk and requires an increasing amount of denture adhesive just to keep it in place.
Are you tired of your loose denture?
Millions of people around the world are missing enough teeth to require the use of a denture. Many people struggle with loose or poor fitting dentures. If you have this problem, you already know the embarrassment of slipping dentures, not being able to eat the foods you love, and the problems and expense of messy denture adhesives.

Questions & Answers about All-on-4 and Dental Implants
Q. What are dental implants?
A. A dental implant is a small component that is positioned in the jaw to replace the root of a missing tooth. A crown can be attached and held in place by a single dental implant or a bridge may be attached to multiple dental implants. Your jawbone bonds to the dental implant to provide permanent support for crowns and bridges. Dental implants are the standard of care for tooth replacement.
Q. What happens when wearing a conventional denture?
A. When a denture is worn for multiple years, the jawbone begins to shrink from a lack of stimulation that natural tooth roots or dental implants provide. Losing your teeth and wearing a denture will affect your smile and change the shape of your face, causing you to look prematurely aged.
Q. Who is a candidate for the All-on-4 dental implant procedure?
A. Most adults who have lost most or all of their teeth can be a candidate for All-on-4 . Please ask our office to schedule you for a consultation to explain the benefits of this procedure and find out if you are a candidate for All-on-4 .
