The Steps and Process for All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 dental implants are a revolutionary solution for patients who need full-arch tooth replacement. While some providers may advertise a simple one-day procedure, the reality is that a high-quality All-on-4 transformation involves several crucial steps to ensure long-term success, functionality, and aesthetics.
Comprehensive Consultation & Examination
After a virtual consultation, the process begins with a thorough evaluation of your oral health. Using advanced imaging technology, we assess bone density, gum health, and facial structure. This step is crucial in determining if All-on-4 is the appropriate solution for you and allows us to create a custom treatment plan.
Digital Impressions & Smile Design
Every patient’s smile is unique, which is why digital impressions and smile design technology are used to map out the ideal placement of your implants. Our team ensures that the final restoration not only provides functionality but also complements your facial aesthetics for a natural, customized appearance.
Precise Implant Placement
The All-on-4 technique involves placing four strategically positioned implants per arch to provide maximum stability. These implants serve as the foundation for the new prosthetics. Our team utilizes guided implant technology for precise, minimally invasive placement, reducing healing time and improving long-term success rates.
Temporary Prosthetic Placement
On the same day as implant placement, a customized temporary prosthetic is attached. This allows patients to leave the office with a full, functional smile while the implants heal and integrate with the jawbone.
Healing & Osseointegration
Over the next several months, the implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. During this period, we monitor healing closely and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results.
Restoration, Placement and Follow-up
Once the healing phase is complete, the temporary prosthetic is replaced with a custom-designed, permanent set of teeth. These restorations are crafted for durability, aesthetics, and comfort, giving patients a long-lasting and natural-looking smile.
