Advanced Dental Implants, Timeless Results

What are All-on-4 dental implants?

All-on-4 is a revolutionary dental implant technique that uses just four implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This innovative method offers a faster, more cost-effective solution for those who have lost most or all of their teeth, compared to traditional implant methods. The implants are strategically placed to maximize support and stability, even in patients with lower bone density. Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 implants are fixed in place, offering greater comfort and reliability.

Treatment Options for All-on-4

Upper Arch Replacement

Focuses on replacing all teeth in the upper jaw with a complete, fixed prosthetic.

Lower Arch Replacement 

Offers stability and function to the lower jaw, which is often prone to more extensive bone loss.

Full Arch Replacement 

Combines upper and lower arch replacements for a complete smile restoration.

From Tooth Loss to Total Confidence

Are All-on-4 dental implants right for me?

All-on-4 is ideal for individuals who have significant tooth loss or severe decay and want a stable, permanent solution. Candidates typically are in good general health and free of chronic conditions that affect healing. They should also have sufficient bone structure to support the implants, otherwise bone grafting may need to be performed first. For the best results, candidates must be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking to promote optimal recovery and implant success.

Patients with untreated gum disease or those unwilling to commit to oral hygiene maintenance may need to address these issues before proceeding.

The Future of Dental Restoration

What is the All-on-4 dental implant procedure like?

The first step of the All-on-4 process is a comprehensive consultation, including 3D imaging to assess your bone structure and plan the implant placement. On the day of the procedure, you can expect the following steps:

  • Preparation: Damaged teeth are extracted, and the gums are prepared.
  • Implant Placement: Four titanium implants are strategically inserted into the jawbone.
  • Temporary Teeth: A custom temporary prosthetic is secured to the implants, allowing you to leave your appointment with a complete smile.
  • Final Prosthetic: After a healing period of 3-6 months, the final prosthetic is attached for a permanent, natural appearance.

Your Path to a Natural-Looking Smile

All-on-4 Dental Implants Recovery

Following a soft-food diet for the first week helps ensure the implants integrate properly with the bone. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Brandner ensure a smooth recovery and address any concerns. Our team is always available to answer any questions and offer additional support after your procedure.
