All on 4 Dental Implants Q&A

What makes All-on-4 dental implants different from traditional dental implants?

All-on-4 and traditional dental implants both replace missing permanent teeth, but they use a different approach.

Dental implants

With traditional dental implants, you need to get one implant for each missing tooth. It takes several months for the implants to fuse with your jaw after placement, so receiving the final restorations, like crowns or bridges, takes time.

All-on-4 dental implants

All-on-4 dental implants support a full arch of artificial teeth. During treatment, your Smile Structure Dentistry and Braces provider inserts four dental implants into your upper or lower jaw.

All-on-4 dental implants don’t need time to heal or integrate with your bone. They’re immediate load, which means they can support implant-retained dentures right away. This results in less downtime, a quicker recovery, and optimal results.

Who is a candidate for all-on-4 dental implants?

You might be a candidate for All-on-4 dental implants if you’ve lost most or all of your natural teeth to trauma, extractions, or poor oral hygiene.

To qualify for All-on-4 treatment, you need to have healthy gums and enough bone to support the implants. Your dentist might recommend prerequisite treatments, like periodontics or a bone graft, if you have gum disease or low bone volume. After addressing those problems, they move forward with treatment.

What does getting All-on-4 dental implants involve?

All-on-4 implant placement occurs during a quick outpatient procedure.

Your Smile Structure Dentistry and Braces provider numbs your mouth with a local anesthetic and inserts four dental implants into your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both.

Once the implants are in place, your provider attaches a full-arch dental prosthesis (implant-retained denture). The implant-retained denture looks and functions like your natural teeth. It restores your smile and lets you bite and chew confidently.

How can I keep my All-on-4 dental implants in good shape?

You care for All-on-4 dental implants like you would your permanent teeth. Brush them twice daily, floss regularly, and visit Smile Structure Dentistry and Braces every six months for professional teeth cleaning and an oral exam.

All-on-4 implants are tough, but they aren’t invincible. Wear a mouthguard if you play contact sports. It’s also important to avoid bad habits, like nail-biting, chewing on ice cubes, and opening packaging with your teeth.

Happy Patient Reviews

I went here for a root canal yesterday scared out of my mind but Dr Smith and his assistant were beyond amazing! I highly recommend you see Adam Smith for any dental issues you won’t regret it.

Chelsey V.

Dr. Smith is absolutely fantastic. All the staff is amazing and very helpful. Customer satisfaction is the best I've received at any dentist. The procedures are essentially painless and the equipment and tools are advanced and updated. Big thank you to Sandra and Derek who are very knowledgeable, professional, and great to work with. The office is near and clean with a little theater for everyone and an arcade machine for entertainment. Would not recommend any other dentist. Thank you again Dr. Smith!

First time there with my 4 children. Loved their hospitality always made us feel welcomed and answered all of my questions patiently. My children hate dental visits and this was the first smooth visit we've ever had at the dentist.. Dr. Melendez was great and so was the entire staff at the Mission clinic on Roosevelt.
