The All-on-4 Implant Procedure refers to what?

This procedure, also referred to as "Teeth in a Day," is a groundbreaking method that allows patients who require full upper or lower restorations to receive both the implant and restoration on the same day! Unlike a bridge, which can replace multiple teeth, this procedure replaces an entire arch of teeth using titanium implants.

Comparison: All-on-4 vs. Traditional Implant Procedure

In a traditional dental implant procedure, it typically takes three or more visits to complete the process. The first visit involves removing the affected tooth and placing the dental implant. In the next visit, the dentist places the attachment site for the restoration, and during the final visit, the permanent crown is attached. Between each visit, there is a healing period of 2 weeks to 3 months. Consequently, the entire process can take 6 to 9 months.

However, with the All-on-4 procedure, both the dental implant and restoration are placed in a single visit. This efficiency is made possible by using 3D CT Scan planning software, which allows the dentist to plan the implant placement and surgery. Healing time is minimal, and patients receive their restorations immediately.

What is the process behind its functioning?

The All-on-4 implant process begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Dr. Sandhu. During this consultation, Dr. Sandhu will examine your oral structures, state of oral health, and review your medical history to ensure that you are a candidate for this treatment.

Once you are cleared for the procedure, Dr. Sandhu will take X-rays of your teeth and oral structures and will collaborate with the specialist who places the implants to create a comprehensive "map" of the surgery and placement sites of the implants. This "map" is created using advanced 3D CT Scan Planning software.

On the day of surgery, the implant specialist will administer anesthetic around the implant sites to ensure your comfort and numbness during the surgery. Then, the necessary teeth are removed, and 4 (or more in some cases) titanium implants are strategically placed in your jaw. Dr. Sandhu will immediately place the temporary restoration, which you will wear throughout the healing process. After the implants have healed and fused with the jawbone, Dr. Sandhu will provide the customized, permanent restoration that will give you a glowing, natural-looking smile!

The advantages of All-On-4

This treatment is perfect for patients who require replacement of multiple teeth.
Here are a few advantages of this procedure:

Efficiency of the procedure - Patients can leave our office with a completely restored smile in just one visit. The surgery for each arch typically takes around 2.5 hours. It's incredible to think that you can have a brand new smile in less than 3 hours!

Less bone required – Typically, dental implant procedures require a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw to support the implant. Insufficient bone may necessitate a bone graft, which can significantly prolong the process by weeks or months. However, the 3D scanning system identifies areas in the jaw that can support the implants in advance. As a result, patients with low bone mass can now undergo the procedure without the need for a bone graft.

Restores natural function of the teeth and jaw – Unlike dentures or bridgework that sit on top of the gums, dental implants serve as tooth roots and provide superior stability compared to other treatments. As a result, you can enjoy eating and speaking normally and with increased confidence.

Restores the shape of your face – Missing teeth can often alter the shape of your face. Even dentures and bridgework can lead to jawbone shrinkage over time, resulting in a changed appearance. However, implants prevent jawbone shrinkage and help maintain your facial structure in the long term.

Boosts self-confidence – Knowing that their prosthetic teeth are permanent and completely secure restores our patients' confidence.

More convenient than other options – you don't have to deal with messy adhesive creams or poorly fitting bridgework.
