Restore Your Smile with All-on-4®

Modern removable dentures have come a long way in terms of the level of comfort and security they provide patients. However, they still can't rival the perfectly secure feeling of natural teeth. If you're missing all or most of your teeth and looking for a superior smile restoration solution, we encourage you to consider All-on-4®.  

What Is All-on-4® Smile Restoration?

Sometimes referred to as permanent implant-supported dentures, All-on-4® is an alternative treatment to traditional dentures. A permanently affixed smile restoration solution, All-on-4® consists of a full or partial denture that is supported by strategically placed dental implants (usually four, six, or eight).  

The Benefits of Restoring Your Smile With All-on-4®

All-on-four offers many treatment benefits and some advantages over traditional, removable dentures.  

• Secure Fit and Natural Feel - Since All-on-4® is securely affixed to dental implants which act as replacement roots, chewing feels like using your natural teeth. As a result, All-on-4® is easy to adjust to and helps patients feel completely confident.  

• No Blisters or Discomfort - As a person's bone structure changes with age, traditional dentures need to be adjusted to maintain their perfect fit. During times when they don't fit exactly right, dentures can rub on the soft tissues and create painful sores inside the mouth. This is never a concern with All-on-4®.  

• Speak Easily and Enjoy Your Favorite Foods - With All-on-4®, you can confidently bite into and chew all of your favorite foods - even hard or exceptionally sticky menu options. Plus, the natural feel and fit make it easier for you to speak naturally, avoiding the speech issues that can arise as a result of missing teeth.  

• Enjoy Simple Care - All-on-4® does not require the use of any sticky dental adhesives or denture cleansers.

• Easily Maintain Your Oral Hygiene - With the assistance of a water flosser or interdental brush, good oral hygiene is easy to maintain.  

• Support Your Jawbone Health and Preserve Your Appearance - Supported on dental implants, All-on-4® provides vital stimulation to the jawbone, helping to maintain its health and preserve your bone structure.  

The All-on-4® Treatment Process: What to Expect When Getting All-on-4®

The All-on-4® treatment process can vary greatly depending on each individual patient's needs. The process always begins with a consultation and diagnostic images. Patients might then need to undergo a bone grafting procedure and healing process before receiving dental implants. Once the implants are in place, we custom-design and manufacture an All-on-4® prosthetic dental appliance for you and have you return once it is ready to be placed. All in all, the treatment process can take anywhere from several months to more than a year to complete.  

Throughout the process, we take care to ensure our patient's comfort, providing a pain-free experience in our office and thorough post-appointment instructions to ease and accelerate the recovery process at home.  

How Much Does All-on-4® Cost?

The cost of All-on-4® varies based on each patient's specific needs and treatment plan. After a thorough examination and diagnostic imaging, we can provide you with an estimate of your treatment costs and help you determine how much you can expect your dental insurance to cover.
