There are several options available for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. To determine the most suitable treatment for your specific needs, it’s important to consult with your periodontist about the pros and cons of each option. Among these, dental implants are often considered the gold standard due to their natural look, long-term durability, and ability to last for many years. However, a single implant with a crown can be quite costly—[click here for pricing]—especially for patients in need of full-mouth restoration.

Dentures offer a more affordable alternative, but they may be less convenient and comfortable, requiring regular removal, cleaning, and sometimes causing irritation to the gums or mouth. A more modern solution blends the stability of implants with the affordability of dentures. Techniques like All-on-4, All-on-6, and Teeth Tomorrow use just four or six implants per arch, instead of the traditional eight. This approach not only lowers the cost but also shortens the recovery period.

The Treatment Process

The procedure may vary depending on the specific brand of full-arch implant-supported dentures you choose. However, to provide a general overview, here is a step-by-step breakdown of the All-on-4 implant process:

Step:1 Initial Consultation

Your dentist will perform a thorough oral examination, including digital X-rays and 3D scans, to assess bone structure and ensure you're a suitable candidate. A customized treatment plan is created based on your specific needs.

Step:2 Digital Planning & Implant Design

Using advanced 3D imaging, your dentist will virtually plan the placement of all four implants. This ensures precise positioning for optimal support, function, and aesthetics. A surgical guide may also be created to assist during the procedure.

Step:3 Implant Placement & Temporary Teeth

Four implants are strategically placed into your jawbone, often avoiding the need for bone grafting. In most cases, a set of temporary teeth is attached the same day, allowing you to leave the office with a new smile.

Step:4 Healing & Final Restoration

After a 3–4 month healing period—during which the implants fuse with your jawbone (osseointegration)—your permanent fixed denture is placed. This final restoration is durable, natural-looking, and designed to last for years.

Who Are Good Candidates for Dental Implants?

If you need full-mouth reconstruction or a complete arch replacement, implant-supported dentures like All-on-4 may be the ideal solution. Schedule a consultation with a dentist experienced in implant-supported procedures to explore your options. If you currently wear removable dentures, you may have experienced some bone loss that requires treatment before the procedure. Your dentist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your jawbone health to determine if implant-supported dentures are the right choice for you.
