“All-on-Four” is a procedure that is called several different things – Smile in a Day, Teeth in a Day, Same-Day Smile, full arch dental implants, etc. In essence, this is a procedure in which four to six implants are placed in your jaw and a prosthesis (denture) is screwed into the implants on the day that the implants are placed. Sometimes, it is necessary to place an implant in the cheekbone (zygoma bone) as a part of your rehabilitation.
This is a procedure for patients who want a full smile transformation or for people who have had a denture but are not pleased with its function and/ or appearance. It can be performed on the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both. The teeth are fixed in place and can only be removed by Dr. Baker or your dentist.
What Are All-on-Four Implants?
All-on-four is an oral surgery procedure that allows patients to replace an entire arch of missing or damaged teeth with permanent, natural-looking teeth in a single surgery. Unlike traditional dental implants, which often require one implant per tooth replaced, this technique uses four to six strategically placed implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This is a graftless procedure that prevents the time, pain, and expense of undergoing bone grafting procedures.
Why Choose All-on-Four Implants?
Gone are the days of dealing with temporary solutions like removable dentures, multiple bone grafts, and lengthy multi-implant treatments. All-on-four implants offer a host of benefits, including:
1. Immediate Results
With all-on-four implants, you can enjoy a brand-new set of teeth in as little as one day in a graftless procedure.
2. Natural Look and Feel
The prosthetic teeth attached to the implants closely resemble natural teeth, both in appearance and functionality. You can smile, eat, and speak with complete confidence.
3. Stability and Longevity
Because the implants are fused directly into the jawbone, all-on-four implants offer permanent stability. With proper care, they can last a lifetime.
4. Improved Jawbone Health
Missing teeth often lead to jawbone deterioration over time. Implants stimulate the bone, preventing further bone loss and helping maintain the shape of your face.
5. Cost-Effective
Compared to replacing each tooth with individual implants, the all-on-four approach is significantly more cost-effective because it requires fewer implants without compromising quality or results.
Is All-on-Four Right for You?
All-on-four implants are an excellent choice for patients who:
- Have multiple missing or severely damaged teeth.
- Struggle with poorly fitting dentures.
- Want a long-term solution for their dental health.
