At our office, we offer the All-On-4 procedure with a straightforward approach to your care. This includes removing any remaining teeth, placing your implants, providing same-day fixed temporary teeth, and crafting your final set of permanent zirconia teeth.

Unlike many offices that separate charges for surgery, temporary teeth, and the final restoration, we believe in transparency. No surprises, no hidden fees—just a clear path to your new smile.

The unique thing about this procedure, and what lets us attach teeth your implants from day one, is that all of your implants will be rigidly held in place by your new teeth (the implant bridge). Splinting them together prevents the micro-movement of the implants that can lead to failure early on. Basically, your implants and bridge support one another.

Your dental implants will be made of titanium, the same metal used in artificial knee and hip joints, so your jawbone will naturally grow around and attach to them over time.

The majority of patients who have been advised they are not candidates for other dental implants are actually great candidates for our All-On-4 "Teeth in a Day" procedure. A combination of using angled implants and using the front of the jaw bone where the bone is more dense lets us perform the procedure for many patients that thought implants were not right for them. Our team can usually perform the procedure without the need for expensive grafting that delays treatment by months or even years. Please come see us for a complimentary consultation to learn if you're a candidate.

Yes! This is our preferred way of performing this procedure to support an ideal final result. With the state-of-the-art implants and materials available today, there is typically no reason to have to wait months or even years to complete the process like you had to do in the past.

No, our doctor is a general dentist who limits their practice to prosthetics and dental implantology. Dental implantology is their passion, and they have placed more dental implants than most specialists and other general dentists. In very select cases, they will collaborate with another dental specialist to ensure that our patients receive the best possible treatment for their specific situation.

Because of the high number of these procedures we perform and limiting our practice exclusively dental implants, we have advantages that other offices simply do not. We have our in-house lab and lab technician along with a single dentist that performs the entire procedure. Because of these efficiencies, we are able to offer All-on-4 "Teeth in a Day" procedures for our patients at the most competitive pricing available. Not only do we have the lowest prices, we also use only the finest implants and materials.

Yes. We offer multiple payment plans including third party financing. We work with our patients in any way possible to get them smiling again.

If a dental implant fails to integrate we will replace it at no cost. Our office warranties the final dental bridge for 5 years. To keep this warranty, patients must return to the office every 6 months for hygiene and maintenance of their implants and bridges. This warranty does not apply to patients who continue to use nicotine products or have uncontrolled diabetes or develop other uncontrolled systemic conditions which compromise their implants.

Typically the surgery is about 1 hour per arch. Then, the lab portion of making your teeth takes another 2 hours. If we begin in the morning, for a single upper or lower arch, patients are often finished around lunch time. If we are replacing both upper and lower teeth, we typically finish closer to 2:30 to 3:30 in the afternoon. Most of this time is waiting for your teeth to be created in our lab and trying them in to be certain your smile is exactly how you want it. It is a long day, but will definitely be worth the final product!

Our team does everything possible to ensure you love your new smile. The teeth you receive the day of the procedure are only a temporary/transitional set. When our lab fabricates your final teeth, you will have full control of the design and appearance of them.

While this can be a good fit for many patients, in the rare case of complications or teeth breaking, it is very difficult to repair if you traveled thousands of miles away or out of the country. Most local dentists will not be willing to repair another practice's work. A major advantage of having a temporary set of fixed teeth on the day of your surgery is you get to test them out and discover what you like and don't like. For the final zirconia or nano-ceramic teeth, we can offer try-ins to ensure that your teeth look exactly like you want them to look. While it’s exciting to get your final teeth immediately, it does come with some serious downsides that cannot be ignored.

No, these are rigidly attached to your implants, which are rigidly anchored in your jaw. If your All-On-4 teeth begin rocking for any reason, call our office so we can schedule an exam.

The procedure is referred to as "teeth in a day" because you are receiving a set of implant-supported working prosthetic temporary teeth in one day. As there can often significant changes to your mouth during the healing and implant integration phase, it is best to begin with a transitional set of teeth. This helps ensure the best long-term outcome with your permanent teeth.

Yes, the temporary teeth are made of acrylic and can crack, chip, and occasionally break. This is quite common. The great thing about the acrylic temporary is that it can be easily repaired. If you have any issues with the temporary, just call our office and we’ll get it repaired right away.

While it is possible for zirconia and nano-ceramic to be damaged, it’s very uncommon. Zirconia and nano-ceramic are among the most durable and strongest materials available in dentistry.

Unfortunately, no. As your current implants will not be the correct position that this procedure requires, and as bone reduction will need to be performed, we cannot use your existing implants and they will most likely need to be removed.

No, you cannot remove the prosthetics yourself. Only the dentist is able to remove them. Prosthetic teeth are secured to your implants.

Yes, any dental prosthetic can get some amount of food under it. You can rinse with water to get food out from under your bridge(s), and cleaning daily with a water flosser will be included in your long-term hygiene regimen.

Of all complete teeth replacement options, All-On-4 often has the shortest time required before returning to work. Typically 4-7 days is sufficient. That being said, as there is always a chance of bruising and swelling, and you’ll need to get used to speaking and eating with your new teeth, the more time you can take off, the better.

Yes, any oral prosthetic can get some amount of food under it. The wonderful thing about implant dentures is how easy they are to clean. Just take them out; clean the denture(s), your gums, and implants; and snap them back in.

Each patient is different. Some return to work the following day, others wait a week or two. Since there is always a chance of bruising and swelling, and you’ll need to get used to speaking and eating with the new teeth; the longer you can take off, the better.

A soft liner is a cushion we place inside your denture to help it fit and feel better as your mouth heals and changes shape following extractions.

No, this is not only an option for the elderly. It’s actually very common for people in their 40s, 30s, even 20s to need teeth replacement. Replacing bad teeth can be very beneficial for your overall physical health. Also, having teeth which allow you to confidently smile, laugh, and converse can be extremely beneficial for your psychological health. Again, wanting to replace teeth early in life is not uncommon.

• Wash cloths you don’t mind throwing away
• Comfortable clothes you don’t mind throwing away
• Soft foods such as:

          - soups

Just as you would need practice to get used to functioning with a prosthetic leg, it will require some practice and patience to get used to your new prosthetic teeth. That being said, since these are attached using implants, the dentures will be much easier to get used to than regular dentures.

This will also take a little time, but with some practice and patience, your tongue and mouth will quickly adjust. The letter S will be the toughest to pronounce. Practicing words like "sarcastic" and "seventy seven" can help you get used to the new teeth. In some cases, patients may have a slight long-term lisp with implant dentures.

Some patients may experience a slight amount of rocking with their dentures. For patients with two lower implants, these must be placed in the front of your mouth making it possible for some rocking to happen. A dab of adhesive at the back on each side of the lower denture will usually take care of this.

In this case, your best bet would be the All-On-4 procedure. Not all snap-in dentures can have the palate removed.

Yes. Having removable implant dentures makes cleaning them extremely convenient. Just take them out; clean the denture(s), the gums, and implants; and snap them back in place.

While titanium dental implants do have a 95+% success rate, yes, they can still fail. Some of the things that can cause them to fail:

• failure to integrate into the bone
• smoking
• diabetes

If an implant fails within the first year, your dentist will replace it at no charge to you.

• Snaps | Periodically you’ll need to change out the snap rings in your implant dentures. These wear and lose retention over time as you take your teeth in and out. They’re fast and affordable to have replaced.
• Cleanings | Similar to natural teeth, you’ll need to have your implants professionally cleaned periodically. Any buildup on the implants will be removed and your dentures will be cleaned.
• Periodic re-fittings | Your mouth can still change over time, so the dentures may need to be re-fitted to ensure their best performance and ensure that unnecessary stress isn’t being put on the implants.
• Home maintenance | This takes just a few minutes a day. Take your dentures out 1-2 times per day and brush them with a denture brush or very soft bristled toothbrush. Also, remember to clean the implants. Scrub these with a very soft dental brush too.

No, once your implant is completed, you will not be able to remove it.

We do not currently put patients to sleep, however, we do offer oral conscious sedation. This medication will help to relax you and often makes it so you don’t even remember your procedure. For this, we write you a prescription, and you can pick it up at your pharmacy of choice. NOTE: You MUST have a driver for this procedure, someone who can drive you after you have taken your oral sedation pill(s). You MUST NOT operate a motor vehicle or any machinery after taking your medication.

Most of the bleeding will have ceased before you leave our office, however, expect to have a bit of bleeding (oozing) for 1-3 days after the procedure. Additionally, you can expect to notice increased salivation when we first put your denture(s) in. When this increased saliva mixes with a little blood, it can look like a lot of blood. If heavy bleeding continues, please call our office.

A classic home remedy which still works quite well to encourage clotting and stop bleeding is to use tea bags. Get a regular tea bag, get it damp, squeeze out the extra water, place it on your extraction site (or sites), and the bags will help you heal. Multiple tea bags can be used if needed. Replace the tea bags if they get saturated with blood. The process can be repeated as many times as you need.

Though your experience may vary, most patients should expect mild discomfort and some swelling after your procedure. Many patients return the following day for their follow-up examination reporting minimal pain. All patients are prescribed medication for pain to help alleviate any discomfort.

Our practice does not currently offer this type of implant. While titanium dental implants have been around for decades with a long track record of success, zirconia implants are very new to dentistry, so we do not know what their success will be long-term. We want the most successful, and predictable long-term results for our patients, and for these reasons, we do not offer zirconia implants at this time.

Although titanium dental implants do have a 95+% rate of success, yes, they can still fail. Some of the things which may cause them to fail:

• Failure to integrate into the bone
• Smoking
• Diabetes

If an implant fails during the first year, our dentist will replace it at no charge to you
