All on 4 Treatment Concept

What is the All-on-4 Treatment Concept?

Previously patients who suffered from advanced dental disease would need to undergo very lengthy treatment in order to have their teeth replaced with dental implants. Often times treatment would take over a year to complete. With the All-on-4 treatment concept, replacing failing teeth with dental implants has been streamlined to a fast, effective and affordable process.

Who is a candidate for All-on-4?

Patients who are currently wearing dentures or who suffer from advanced dental disease are both potential candidates for the All-on-4 treatment concept. At your consultation visit, a 3D X-Ray will be taken to determine if you are an appropriate candidate for this procedure.

What is the process of the All-on-4 treatment?

After careful planning, all of the remaining failing teeth are removed, at least four dental implants are placed into the jaw bone, and a temporary bridge is made all in one appointment. This temporary bridge is worn for 3 months while the implants heal and are ready to be restored with a permanent bridge. Once the implants are healed completely, the temporary bridge is removed, impressions are made and the final bridge is fabricated.
