Are you suffering from extensive tooth loss and decay? Do you wear full or partial dentures and are tired of the poor fit or find it difficult to eat? If you have long-term, unresolved dental problems then All on 4 is a great option for improving your quality of life, all in one day.
At About Smiles we offer long-term, definitive options for restoring practical dental function, aesthetics and overall comfort. All on 4 is also known as Teeth in a Day at About Smiles, named for the same day nature of the procedure. So you get the restorative work you need done without delays or multiple appointments and can enjoy your new implants and full arch bridges sooner.
Our All on 4 treatment covers two dental possibilities:
- Single day implants, such as replacing a single, missing front tooth
- All on 4 procedures for total rehabilitation of patients with many failing or missing teeth
The All on 4 treatment involves inserting 4 to 6 titanium implants to anchor a screw retained dental prosthesis of 12 to 14 teeth. The end result is a stable, non-removable implant supported bridge that is far superior to dentures, allowing you to talk and eat as if they were natural teeth.
At About Smiles we are able to perform the procedure within a day, where typically it takes an implant dentist three days. This is possible thanks to our state-of-the-art facilities and comprehensive team. During the course of the day we’ll perform several steps to ensure an excellent outcome:
- In the morning a preoperative assessment of your smile line, jaw bone density and existing teeth.
- Followed by surgery to place the implants and, where necessary, bone grafting and extraction of remaining teeth. Our options in sleep/sedation dentistry make this part of the process more comfortable for patients.
- After surgery you’ll be taken to our recovery room (or relaxation room) where you can recuperate from your surgery. Relax on the reclinable sofa while you watch television or listen to music in total privacy.
- While you recover, our technicians will fabricate an initial temporary bridge in our in-house dental lab based on the initial impressions we took that morning.
- Once created the bridge will be fitted, adjusted and properly seated in your mouth. This temporary bridge will be used for the first several months while your implants fully integrate.
- When your bridges are properly in place you’ll be free to leave the clinic that afternoon with brand new teeth.
With All on 4 Implants you’ll experience a confident new smile that restores both self-image and dental functionality. And, unlike with dentures, your day-to-day activities won’t be hindered, as they require only general healing and adaptation.
