The All-On-Four Implants Process

The first question is often, “How does All-On-Four work?“. The key to a successful and lasting result is careful treatment planning. At your first visit, we’ll use digital scans to check your gums and jawbone—this helps us plan your perfect implant placement.

This will help us build a treatment plan for your procedure. No two treatment plans are alike since we treat each patient for their unique needs. After planning your procedure, we’ll review all the details and schedule your implant surgery.

On that day, the dentist will surgically place the implant posts and attach a temporary denture to your new implants. A temporary denture helps us adjust the fit before making your final, custom hybrid denture.

It will also help heal the soft tissues and gums of your mouth. Your final restoration will provide the most comfortable, stable, and natural fit possible. Your temporary implant dentures can serve as a “backup” if necessary at some later time.

Why Choose All-On-Four?

All-on-four offers better stability, strength, and ease than regular dentures, boosting oral health and daily life.

1. Restored Functionality

All-on-four implants restore the ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. We securely anchor the implants into the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for the replacement teeth. Unlike dentures, which can slip or shift, all-on-four implants stay firmly in place, allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods without worry.

2. A Permanent Solution

One of the biggest advantages of All-on-Four implants is their permanence. The titanium implants fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration, providing a strong and long-lasting base. With proper care, All-on-Four implants can last a lifetime, making them a reliable investment in oral health.

3. Improved Appearance

All-on-Four implants look and feel like natural teeth. They are custom-designed to match the patient’s facial structure, ensuring a natural, beautiful smile. This treatment also helps prevent the sunken facial appearance that often occurs with tooth loss, preserving a youthful look.

4. Bone Preservation

Tooth loss leads to bone loss in the jaw, as the bone no longer receives stimulation from chewing. All-on-four implants address this problem by stimulating the jawbone like natural tooth roots. This prevents further bone loss and helps maintain the structure of the face and jaw over time.

5. Faster Treatment and Recovery

Compared to traditional implant methods, All-on-Four is faster and more efficient. In most cases, patients can have the implants and a temporary set of teeth placed on the same day. This reduces the number of dental visits and allows patients to start enjoying their new smile sooner.

6. Cost-Effective Option

All-on-Four costs less than single-tooth implants that would replace each tooth. Using just four implants per arch cuts treatment time and expense.

7. Enhanced Comfort

All-on-Four implants are designed to feel like natural teeth. They eliminate the discomfort and irritation of traditional dentures, such as gum sores and difficulty speaking. Patients often report that their new teeth feel comfortable and secure, improving their daily lives.

8. Easy Maintenance

Caring for All-on-Four implants is simple and similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups keep the implants and surrounding gums healthy. There’s no need for messy adhesives or special cleaning solutions, making maintenance hassle-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have questions about All-On-Four implant dentures, we have answers! Read on to find out the answers to some of the commonly asked questions. 

Can I sleep with All-On-Four implants?

Yes, All-On-Four implant dentures are designed to stay in your mouth at all times, including during sleep. They are permanently secured to dental implants and do not need to be removed. Sleeping with them won’t cause harm and helps maintain jawbone support and facial structure. Just be sure to maintain excellent oral hygiene before bed.

Will people be able to tell that I have implant dentures?

No, in most cases, All-On-Four dentures look very natural and are carefully designed to match your smile. The materials used mimic the appearance of real teeth and gums. Most people won’t be able to tell you’re wearing implant-supported dentures unless you tell them.

Can All-On-Four implants stain or discolor like natural teeth?

The prosthetic teeth used in All-On-Four systems are stain-resistant, but they’re not completely immune. Over time, exposure to coffee, wine, or smoking can dull the surface. Regular cleanings and avoiding staining foods and drinks can help preserve their color longer.

Are All-On-Four implants removable?

No, the All-On-Four prosthesis is fixed in place and can only be removed by your dentist. Unlike traditional dentures, they’re secured directly to implants in your jaw. This fixed design gives you more stability and a natural feel.

Is the All-On-Four procedure painful?

The procedure itself is not painful, as it’s performed under anesthesia or sedation. Some soreness or swelling is normal afterward but usually manageable with prescribed medication and proper aftercare. Most patients recover quickly and report less discomfort than expected.

Can I convert my existing dentures into All-On-Four implants?

In some cases, yes. If your current dentures are in good shape and your bone is healthy enough for implants, we may be able to retrofit them temporarily. However, long-term success often requires a new, custom-made prosthetic designed specifically for All-On-Four support.

Can I get dental implants if I have diabetes or other chronic conditions?

Yes, many people with controlled chronic conditions like diabetes can still be candidates for dental implants. Dr. Fuller will evaluate your overall health and how well your condition is managed. Proper healing and bone integration are key, so close monitoring and reasonable blood sugar control are essential for success.
