How it Works

The All-On-4 procedure involves removing your remaining teeth, placing 4-6 implants per arch, and securing a low-profile bridge to the implants. The implants are often placed at specialized angles to avoid the patient’s sinuses. This also avoids the need for expensive bone grafts that come with long healing times.

The traditional All-On-4 procedure involves 4 implants and acrylic denture teeth over a titanium frame. Our doctor has modified this procedure to provide an even better result for his patients based on his experience successfully placing countless dental implants. At Secure Dental Foster Avenue, we carefully analyze each and every case and base our treatment on your individual anatomy. Your doctor will place between 4 and 6 implants per arch and temporary fixed bridges will be secured while your implants integrate with your jawbones and your mouth heals.

After your healing is complete, the doctor and lab technician will design your final All-On-4 teeth with zirconia, which is a premium material that’s much stronger than the traditional acrylic (plastic) denture teeth offered at most other dental offices. Zirconia gives a more natural, life-like result which is also more hygienic and resistant to staining. This means your teeth will last longer and look better than the acrylic/titanium hybrid bridges you’ll find with many other All-On-4 specialists.

Am I a candidate?

Most patients will be a candidate for the All-On-4 procedure, even those who have been told they don’t have enough bone for dental implants. Your doctor will use a combination of straight and angled implants to avoid the sinuses and engage the strongest part of your jawbone. This technique usually removes the need for expensive and lengthy sinus augmentation bone grafts.

Your doctor will perform a thorough evaluation during your consultation to see if All-On-4, “Teeth in a Day” is a good option for you.

Why Zirconia is Better Than Traditional Denture Material

Zirconia is the “gold standard” material for the All-On-4 procedure. Zirconia is a type of ceramic that is extremely durable and resistant to wear and corrosion, making it an excellent choice for All-On-4 dental restorations.

One of the main benefits of using zirconia for All-On-4 dental implants is its strength and stability. Zirconia bridges can withstand high chewing forces without cracking or chipping, ensuring that your new teeth perform impeccably for decades. Zirconia is also biocompatible, which means it’s unlikely to cause an allergic or inflammatory reaction. This makes it an ideal option for patients with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

Another advantage of zirconia dental implants is its stunning, natural-looking appearance. Unlike metal or acrylic, zirconia has a translucent quality that closely mimics the look of natural teeth, giving your new teeth a realistic and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Finally, zirconia is easy to clean, maintain, and can be easily polished to keep its shine and prevent discoloration over time. This helps ensure the longevity and durability of your new All-On-4 teeth.

Overall, zirconia is an excellent choice for All-On-4 dental implants, offering a number of benefits that make it an attractive option for patients seeking a beautiful, long-lasting, natural-looking, and easy-to-maintain smile.

Your doctor will perform a thorough evaluation during your consultation to see if All-On-4, “Teeth in a Day” is a good option for you.

All-On-4 Dental Implants

The procedure itself typically takes 4-6 hours depending on whether you are having a single arch treated (upper or lower) or both arches (full mouth). When you leave our office, your temporary All-On-4 bridge(s) will be securely attached to your new implants.
You will wear your temporary bridge(s) for about 4 months to allow time for your implants to integrate with your bone and for your jaw and gums to heal into a stable, long-term position before we fabricate your final bridge(s). This healing time ensures the closest possible fit for your final bridges.

After you have healed, we will begin fabricating your final All-On-4 bridge(s). This involves a few appointments over a 5-6 week period, during which time you’ll help us design your ideal smile for your permanent teeth.

Step #1

Digital Impressions

Our lab uses the latest technology to capture complete digital impressions of your mouth. We use these to make your temporary implant bridge(s). Possible wax try-in – if you are missing all or most of the teeth in the arch that we will be treating, our doctor may suggest a wax try-in. This is a mockup of your temporary implant bridge and will be used to check bite position, aesthetics, etc.

Step #2

Surgery

Remove teeth (if applicable), place implants, and place temporary implant bridge(s). The procedure typically takes about 4-6 hours.

Step #3

Day One Post Op

Day after procedure we will check in on your healing and answer any questions you may have.

Step #4

3 Week Post Op

3 weeks after surgery we will remove sutures and check healing. Patient is typically cleared to use a water flosser/WaterPik at this appointment.

Step #5

Impressions for final Teeth

4 months after procedure we will take impressions for the final All-On-4 zirconia bridges.

Step #6

Try-In

5-10 days after impressions, we’ll “try-in” a mock-up of your final All-On-4 teeth. In some cases, multiple wax try-ins are needed. We want to make sure you’re completely happy with your wax try-ins before processing them because once they’re processed, we’re unable to make changes. If you want to make changes after you have approved your final bridge(s) and they’ve been fabricated, there will be a full-cost remake charge.

Step #7

Seat Final Teeth

4-6 weeks after try-ins your final All-On-4 teeth are ready to seat.

Dental Implant FAQ

After undergoing an All-on-4 dental implant surgery, it’s important to allow sufficient time for your mouth to heal and for the implants to integrate with the jawbone. While you may be able to resume eating relatively soon after the procedure, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to eat with your teeth normally from day one.

Immediately after the surgery, you’ll likely experience some swelling, discomfort, and tenderness in the surgical area. It’s essential to follow your dentist’s post-operative instructions, which may include a soft or liquid diet for the initial days or weeks. This diet will help prevent damage to the surgical site and promote healing.

Over time, as the implants stabilize and your mouth heals, you’ll gradually transition to a more varied diet. Your dentist will guide you on when it’s appropriate to introduce harder foods and resume normal eating habits.

It’s important to note that the timeline for recovery and the ability to eat with your teeth can vary from person to person. Factors such as your overall health, bone density, and how well you follow post-operative instructions can influence the speed of your recovery.

The All-on-4 dental implant procedure was developed by Portuguese dentist Dr. Paulo Malo in the late 1990s. Dr. Malo developed this innovative treatment concept as a solution for patients with significant tooth loss or those who were facing the prospect of complete edentulism (no natural teeth remaining). The procedure aimed to provide a fixed and efficient solution for full-arch rehabilitation using dental implants.

The All-on-4 technique involves the strategic placement of four dental implants in the jawbone to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. The implants are strategically positioned to maximize bone support and minimize the need for additional bone grafting procedures, making it a viable treatment option for patients with reduced jawbone density.

Since its introduction, the All-on-4 procedure has gained widespread recognition and acceptance in the field of implant dentistry. It has provided many patients with a reliable and efficient option for restoring their smile and improving their quality of life. Over time, variations and refinements of the technique have been developed, but the core principles of the All-on-4 concept remain the same.

Caring for your All-on-4 teeth is crucial to maintaining their longevity and keeping your oral health in excellent condition. Here are some tips for caring for your All-on-4 teeth:

  • Practice good oral hygiene | Brush your teeth at least twice a day using a soft-bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste. Be thorough in cleaning all surfaces of your teeth, including the gums and the areas around the implants. Additionally, use an antimicrobial mouthwash recommended by your dentist to reduce bacteria and plaque buildup.

  • Floss daily | Despite having full-arch prosthetic teeth, it’s still important to clean the spaces between the gums and the base of the prosthetic teeth. Use a floss threader or an interdental brush to clean these areas carefully. Your dentist can guide you on the best flossing technique for your All-on-4 teeth.

  • Attend regular dental check-ups | Visit your dentist for regular check-ups and professional cleanings. They will assess the health of your All-on-4 teeth, monitor the condition of the implants, and address any potential issues at an early stage.

  • Avoid hard or sticky foods | While All-on-4 teeth are designed to withstand normal chewing forces, it’s still advisable to avoid excessively hard or sticky foods that can put excessive stress on the prosthetic teeth or dislodge them. Opt for a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutritious foods to support your overall health.

  • Protect against teeth grinding (bruxism) | If you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, inform your dentist. They may recommend wearing a nightguard or suggest other measures to protect your All-on-4 teeth from excessive force and prevent damage.

  • Be mindful of lifestyle habits | Avoid tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption, as these can have negative effects on your oral health and increase the risk of implant failure.

  • Maintain overall health | Take care of your general health, as it can influence the success of your All-on-4 teeth. Follow a healthy lifestyle, manage any chronic conditions, and inform your dentist of any changes in your medical history or medications.

During the All-on-4 dental implant procedure, you will be under anesthesia, which helps ensure that you don’t experience pain or discomfort during the surgery itself. The use of local anesthesia and/or sedation will depend on your specific needs and the recommendation of our dentist.

If you have concerns about pain management or if you experience severe or prolonged pain after your All-on-4 procedure, it’s crucial to contact our office promptly. Our dentist can evaluate your condition and make any necessary adjustments or provide additional guidance to ensure your comfort and well-being throughout the healing process.

After an All-On-4 procedure, it is common to experience some degree of discomfort or pain. The level of pain can vary depending on individual factors such as pain tolerance, the complexity of the procedure, and the body’s healing response. Typically, the first 48 hours after the procedure is when you will experience the most discomfort. However, the pain is typically manageable and should subside over time as the healing progresses.

Yes! We offer a couple options for sedation depending on what is the right fit for you:

Oral Conscious Sedation involves a prescription for sedative pills that are prescribed to you by our doctor. Sedative medication is typically given the night before to help you sleep, as well as the morning of your procedure to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

IV Sedation involves the intravenous administration of sedatives in order to put you in a diminished state of consciousness throughout the entire procedure. This also has other benefits for reducing post-operative swelling and pain.

The recovery time for an All-on-4 procedure can vary from person to person, and it depends on several factors such as your overall health, the complexity of your case, and how well you follow post-operative care instructions.

Typically, the initial healing takes a few weeks. Complete recovery and adjustment to the new teeth can extend over several months. Each person’s recovery time can vary, so it’s best to consult with our dentist, who can provide more specific information based on your individual case and guide you through the recovery process.

Don’t let one dentist’s opinion keep you from pursuing a life-changing solution with All-On-4 dental implants. There are several techniques in implant placement that can be used to have a successful outcome.

If you opt for it, your final teeth will be made of high quality Zirconia.

Generally, 4-7 days is sufficient. With that said, there is always the chance of bruising and swelling, and you’ll need to get used to eating and speaking with your new teeth. The longer you can take off the better.

Yes! We work with a number of financing companies. Patients who would like to break their treatment costs into affordable monthly payments can benefit from working with a financing company. It’s easy and quick to apply for, and you’ll receive a decision right away so you can proceed with your treatment promptly.

It is referred to as “Teeth In a Day” because you are receiving a set of functional prosthetic temporary teeth in one day. Because there are often major changes in your mouth during the healing and implant integration phase, it is best to start with temporary teeth. This ensures the best long-term outcome with your permanent teeth.tal treatment you need to live your best and most confident life!

This is a case-by-case basis. It depends on the initial angulation of the implant as well as the type and brand of implant used. If implants were done by us we can work with it or work around it.

Is Everyone A Candidate for Dental Implants?

Patients who are well-suited for dental implants often:

  • Seek to replace one or more damaged or missing teeth.
  • Prefer a secure, natural-looking, and long-lasting solution over traditional tooth replacement methods.
  • Have healthy gums with no signs of periodontal disease.
  • Do not smoke or have medical conditions that could impede proper healing.

During your consultation, our experienced doctors will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you. In some instances, preparatory treatments—such as scaling and root planing to address gum disease—may be recommended before implant surgery to optimize your eligibility and improve treatment outcomes.

Our team is committed to providing detailed explanations of all available options, ensuring you feel confident in selecting the best approach to meet your tooth replacement needs and goals.
