A new set of natural looking teeth in justOne Day with All-on-4

The All-on-4 dental implants is a method of replacing a full set of top or bottom teeth with the use of only four dental implants per arch. This revolutionary procedure allows us to provide you with same-day results.

This procedure is a complete full dental rehabilitation and is reserved for patients with severely compromised teeth.

The term All-On-4 simply refers to a replacement set of teeth, known as a denture or bridge, that is supported by a set of four fixed dental implants. This procedure is sometimes confused with conventional dentures which rely on suction or adhesive to remain in place or overdentures that use implants but snap in place. With the All-On-4 method, the bridge is permanently held in place by screws attached to four precisely-placed implants per. These are securely held in place, and can only be removed by a dental professional.

A typical All-On-4 procedure consists of 3 phases:

• Preparation: Any existing compromised teeth and diseased and damaged tissue are removed
• Implants: The process of installing implants consists of two titanium implants in the front of the jaw, along with two additional implants in the back of the jaw at an angle. This provides a more secure and semi-permanent fit, over traditional dentures.
• Placement: We’ll attach your new ceramic prosthetic dental bridge to the implants and adjust for comfort and a perfect fit.
  This modern procedure can be completed in less than a day! Depending on your unique circumstances healing can take 3 to 6 months.

A dental implant and pricing can range depending on your own unique situation. Luxe Dental offers easy payment plans with 0% interest, designed to keep your smile looking its best.

Recovery time for traditional implants typically ranges from three to eight months, but with All-on-4 implants, you’ll likely recover much sooner. An All-on-4 system can fuse to your bone more easily than individual implants, which promotes better stability.

After your implant surgery, you can clean the site by gently rinsing your mouth with salt water. Then, you can treat your dental implants just like you would your natural teeth. Brush and floss every day, and continue to get regular cleanings from your dentist. Before your procedure, our dental team will go over more specific oral hygiene instructions that best meet your health needs.

If your jawbone structure is healthy, you’re fit for All-on-4® for teeth-in-a-day treatment. Proper jawbone structure allows the dental implants to adhere. If your jawbone doesn’t have sufficient volume and bone density, the four implants won’t hold out to force-exerting activities like chewing food.

To ensure patient health, the implants aren’t loaded with your permanent bridge the same day. Over 90% of the time, bone grafting and sinus lifts aren’t required to be performed on patients if the implants settle comfortably on the available bone. Sometimes, dental implant angle correction is performed on the fitted implant to precisely fit the implant. Then, accurate bridge placement is done for prosthetic teeth delivery.

Yes, a portion of the All-on-4® dental implant procedure is covered by most dental insurance providers. We have experienced dental insurance claim specialists onboard who’ll negotiate the best deals with most of the dental insurance providers to maximize your savings while receiving the All-on-4® and teeth-in-a-day treatment. All the major PPO dental insurance policies such as Delta Dental, Metlife, Cigna, Humana, Guardian, and AETNA are accepted in our office. In fact, we have the insurance companies pay for a portion of the treatment costs, more specifically, the teeth extractions in relation to the All-on-4® plan.

Many patients plan to be away from work for many days, mistakenly thinking that getting All-on-4® implants is painful; however, it is a well-tolerated, minimally invasive out-patient procedure that takes about two hours per set in our dental office.

Will All-on-4 replacement teeth look unnatural? Absolutely not! All-on-4 replacement teeth provide you with permanent, natural-looking and natural-functioning teeth. The only way people will know you have them is if you tell them.
