Receiving Dental Implants

An extraordinary procedure has been developed that permits the placement of four dental implants and a fixed bridge in the patient’s mouth in as little as one appointment.

All-on-four dental implants are able to replace an entire mouthful of teeth with implants and a non-removable set of new teeth during the application process. 

Teeth in One Day

In most cases, no bone grafting, sinus grafting, incisions, or suture placements are needed, and no healing time is required.

This procedure using All-on-Four dental implants is called “Teeth in One Day.” Using the same type of technique can replace a single missing tooth.

Why Are All-on-Four Dental Implants Better Than Other Treatments?

• For many patients, this procedure could potentially change your life.
• Patients who benefit from this treatment are those who have lost many of their teeth but use dentures.
• It also helps those with teeth so compromised that they have no other option but to remove them.

For the latter group of patients, they are typically forced to choose from several less-than-desirable solutions, including the following:

Removable Dentures

• Can reduce chewing function by up to 90%

• May feel loose or unstable

• Often require adhesives

• Need to be removed for cleaning

Numerous Implants and a Fixed Bridge

• Requires more implants (often 6–8 per arch)

• Involves months of healing, multiple surgeries

• May need bone grafts and sinus lifts

• Very costly and time-intensive

Denture and Attachments

• Less expensive than a full implant bridge

• Still removable, requiring daily insertion/removal

• Restores only 50–60% of chewing ability

All-on-Four dental implants are sometimes referred to as “Teeth in One Day”.

The technique is a better alternative than those we’ve had in the past. This new technique gives patients 90% of their chewing ability back in a single appointment, with less pain and at a much lower cost than other procedures.
