All-On-4 Implants refer to what?

If you have missing teeth, it is crucial to prioritize your oral health and make regular visits to the dentist in order to maintain your natural smile. Unfortunately, our teeth can deteriorate over time due to everyday wear and tear. Tooth loss can occur for various reasons, such as accidents, illness, stress, aging, decay, or simply unfortunate circumstances. Regardless of the cause, the solution lies in restoring a natural and healthy smile. Tooth implants offer an excellent choice for revitalizing your oral health and rejuvenating your smile if you have lost one or more teeth.

Exceptionally Authentic Appearance: Boasting the closest resemblance in both look and feel to natural teeth.

Enduring Solution: Unlike dentures, it resides permanently within the mouth, eliminating the need for removal.

Swift Recovery: Minimal downtime before enjoying the benefits of your dental implants.

Uncovered Palate: Ensures the roof of your mouth remains free from coverage.

Superior Chewing Performance: Outshining other alternatives in restoring full arches or complete sets of teeth in terms of chewing efficiency.

Tailored for Limited Bone Availability: Particularly suitable for individuals advised of insufficient bone for standard implants.

Elevated Food Enjoyment: Elevates the pleasure of tasting food by avoiding palate obstruction.

Explanation of the Process

At Burton Family Dental, our method involves removing any remaining teeth and placing 4-6 implants for each arch. These implants are strategically angled to avoid the sinuses, eliminating the need for costly bone grafts and long recovery periods. Our doctor has personalized the traditional All-On-4 procedure, resulting in improved outcomes for our patients. We carefully evaluate each case and customize the treatment to fit the patient's anatomy.

During the procedure, temporary fixed bridges are attached while the implants integrate with the jawbones and the mouth heals. Once the healing is complete, our doctor and lab technician will create the final teeth using zirconia, a stronger and more natural-looking material compared to acrylic denture teeth. Zirconia is also more hygienic and resistant to staining, ensuring a longer lifespan and superior aesthetic for the teeth compared to acrylic/titanium hybrid bridges commonly used elsewhere.

Am I eligible for consideration?

Most patients, even those who have been told they don't have enough bone for dental implants, can still have this procedure. By using a combination of straight and angled implants, the doctor can avoid the sinuses and use the strongest bone available. This technique often eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming sinus augmentation bone grafts. During your free consultation, the doctor will assess your situation thoroughly to determine if All-On-4, also known as "Teeth in a Day," is right for you.

Cost of All-On-4 Procedure

The pricing covers all extractions, unlimited implants, temporary fixed teeth, and permanent fixed teeth.

Our pricing in the area is unbeatable, resulting in exceptional outcomes. This is achievable due to the supervision of our experienced dentist and the expertise of our highly skilled dental lab technician. Collaboratively, they have successfully conducted this procedure numerous times.

At Burton Family Dental, we offer comprehensive dental care to help you maintain optimal oral health. Our experienced dentist and in-house lab technician work together to achieve the smile you've always dreamed of. Unlike other dental practices that use acrylic denture teeth on titanium bars, we use zirconia for its exceptional aesthetics, durability, and stain resistance. While upgrading to these high-quality materials can be costly elsewhere, at Burton Family Dental, it is included in our standard package.

FAQs are common Q&As.

Certainly! While your implants and teeth are securely in place from the start, we kindly ask that you follow a soft diet during the 4-month healing phase. You might be wondering what this entails. A helpful suggestion is to choose foods that can be easily cut with a plastic fork. This precaution is important because you are making a long-lasting investment that could potentially benefit you for many decades or even a lifetime. By sticking to a softer diet during the healing period, you will promote the best possible integration of the implants into your bone and improve the overall long-term outcomes.

It is important to take care of your teeth, including All-On-4 teeth and implants. Just like natural teeth, it is crucial to brush and floss regularly. By dedicating a few minutes each day, you can maintain the health of your mouth and implants. Use a soft bristle toothbrush to brush your bridges and clean underneath them with a water flosser like WaterPik, multiple times a day.

To minimize the chances of complications with dental implants, it is recommended to avoid smoking. Diabetics should also be cautious as they are at a higher risk of complications. Properly managing your diabetes is essential for the long-term success of your implants.

Additionally, it is important to schedule regular visits to your dentist for evaluations of your new implant teeth throughout the year.

After your procedure, it is normal to experience some discomfort and swelling, although the severity may differ for each individual. Most patients report minimal discomfort during their post-op appointment the following day. To alleviate any discomfort, you will be provided with pain medication. Additionally, if you are eligible, the doctor may administer a steroid shot to help reduce discomfort and swelling in the initial days.

Compared to alternative options for full arch or full mouth replacement, the recovery time for this procedure is typically shorter and easier to handle. This is mainly because the bridges are directly connected to your jaws using implants. Unlike traditional dentures and implant dentures, there is no requirement for healing periods during which the dentures may shift and cause discomfort. The majority of your pain should diminish within 1-2 weeks, and full healing is usually accomplished within 6 months.

At Burton Family Dental, we provide the same advantages as corporate implant centers, but with a personalized approach. Our main focus on dental implants and prosthetics enables us to offer competitive prices, same day teeth, and an on-site laboratory. Unlike corporate centers, we are privately owned and prioritize patient satisfaction over meeting quotas and reducing costs. Rest assured that our experienced doctor will oversee your procedure from beginning to end. At Burton Family Dental, we treat our patients like family and work hard to ensure your smile exceeds your expectations.

At Burton Family Dental, we want to clarify that mini dental implants are not part of our All-On-4 teeth in a day procedure. We advise caution when considering any office that suggests mini dental implants as a permanent solution, as they have a high rate of failure and complications. However, we do offer snap-in implant dentures as a viable option for certain patients. If you are interested, we have a dedicated page providing more information on this service. It can be a more cost-effective alternative to the All-On-4 Teeth in a Day dental implant procedure.

We specialize in dental implants and prosthetics, with a particular focus on teeth in a day. Our dedication lies in providing our patients with the highest quality results. Unlike other offices that may refer you to multiple providers, use external labs, and have confusing pricing, we offer a streamlined approach. Our skilled doctor performs the entire procedure, from surgery to final teeth, and we have an in-house lab and lab technician. Our pricing is transparent and affordable. By consolidating all these services under one roof, we are able to offer the best service at the best price.

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.

In most instances, your bridge(s) will be attached right away. However, in some cases, primarily determined by the quality and quantity of your bones, it may not be possible to attach the bridge(s) on the same day. In such situations, you will be provided with a temporary healing denture to wear while your implants integrate into the bone. Your doctor will discuss this in detail during your evaluation.

You can expect the significant bleeding to have ceased by the time you leave the clinic. However, there may be some slight bleeding (oozing) for 1-3 days following the procedure. Additionally, when we initially place your temporary teeth, you may experience increased salivation. This may cause the saliva to mix with a small amount of blood, giving the appearance of more bleeding than there actually is. If excessive bleeding persists, please contact our office.

No, tooth replacement is not only for older individuals. It is actually quite common for people in their 40s, 30s, and even 20s to need tooth replacement. Replacing damaged teeth can greatly improve your overall physical health, and having a confident smile, laughter, and conversation with teeth you are proud of can significantly enhance your emotional well-being. It is worth mentioning that the need for tooth replacement at a younger age is not uncommon at all.

Our final bridge is constructed using zirconia, which offers exceptional strength and durability, as well as resistance to staining and wear. This sets it apart from the traditional acrylic All-On-4 teeth commonly provided by other dental offices. It is crucial to carefully consider the type of teeth you will receive if you opt for another office. If you choose acrylic denture teeth with a titanium bar, you should anticipate staining around your teeth and the need for replacement every 5-10 years. Moreover, it is essential to be well-informed about the expenses associated with the surgery, temporary teeth, and final teeth. Some offices may initially charge a fee for the surgery and temporary teeth, only for you to later discover that an additional $5,000-$15,000 is required for your final teeth.

The price for one arch (upper or lower) is $19,900, and both arches cost a total of $38,000. These prices include the removal of any remaining teeth, implant placement, same day fixed temporary teeth, and fixed permanent zirconia teeth. Unlike other offices, we do not have separate fees for surgery, temporary teeth, or surprise you with additional costs for your final teeth. Our pricing is clear and there are no hidden charges.

The procedure stands out due to its unique feature - the ability to attach to your implants immediately. This is made possible by rigidly splinting all of your implants together using your new teeth, forming an implant bridge. By preventing any micro-movement of the implants, the risk of early failure is minimized. Essentially, the implants and bridge mutually support each other.

Moreover, your dental implants will be crafted from titanium, the same material utilized in artificial hip and knee joints. As a result, your jawbone will naturally grow and fuse with the implants over time, ensuring a secure attachment.

Did you know that even if you've been told you're not a candidate for dental implants, you may still benefit from the All-On-4 Teeth in a Day procedure? Our technique uses angled implants and the denser front part of the jaw bone to successfully perform this procedure for many patients who thought it wasn't an option for them. Plus, it often eliminates the need for expensive grafting, which can cause delays in treatment. We'd love to offer you a free consultation to see if you're a good fit for this procedure.

Our dentist is a general dentist who specializes in dental implantology and prosthetics. They have a deep passion for dental implantology and have placed a greater number of dental implants compared to numerous other specialists and general dentists. Additionally, they work closely with other dental specialists when required to ensure that their patients receive the most optimal treatment tailored to their individual needs.

Due to the large volume of procedures we conduct and our focus on specific treatments, our practice possesses unique advantages compared to other offices. We have our own laboratory and skilled technician, as well as a single dentist who handles the entire procedure. These efficiencies allow us to offer our patients the most competitive prices for these procedures. In addition to our affordable rates, we also utilize top-notch implants and zirconia teeth, ensuring the highest quality.

If a dental implant does not successfully integrate, we will provide a replacement at no charge. Our warranty covers the final bridge for a period of 5 years. In order to maintain this warranty, patients must visit us every 6 months for maintenance and hygiene of their bridges/implants. Please note that the warranty does not apply to patients who smoke, have uncontrolled diabetes, or develop other uncontrolled systemic conditions that may compromise their implants.

Typically, the surgery for one arch lasts approximately 1 hour. Afterward, it takes about 2 hours to create the teeth in the lab. If the procedure begins in the morning, patients usually finish around lunchtime for a single upper or lower arch. However, if both top and bottom teeth are being replaced, the process is usually completed between 2:30 and 3:30 in the afternoon. The majority of this time is spent waiting for the teeth to be made in our lab and ensuring they fit perfectly for your smile. Although it may be a long day, the end result will definitely be worth it!

Although this service is beneficial for many patients, it can be challenging to address complications or broken teeth if you have traveled a long distance or are in another country. Local offices are often unwilling to fix issues caused by out-of-town procedures. However, one major advantage of receiving a transitional set of fixed teeth on the day of your surgery is the opportunity to test them and determine your preferences. Additionally, for the final zirconia or nano-ceramic teeth, we can conduct try-ins to ensure they meet your desired appearance. While receiving your final teeth immediately is advantageous, it is important to acknowledge the significant drawbacks associated with this approach.

All-On-4 is known to have the quickest recovery time among all full arch replacement options. Typically, it only takes 4-7 days before you can return to work. However, it is important to note that there is a possibility of experiencing bruising and swelling, and it will also take some time to adjust to eating and speaking with your new teeth. Therefore, if possible, it is recommended to take more time off for a smoother transition.

The timeline for the All-On-4 procedure is as follows:

The procedure typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on whether you are treating one arch (upper or lower) or both arches (full mouth). After leaving our office, your temporary bridge(s) will be securely attached to your new implants. These temporary bridges will be worn for 4 months to allow for the implants to integrate with your bone and for your jaws and gums to heal. This healing time ensures the best fit for your final bridges. Once the healing is complete, we will begin creating your final bridge(s). This process will involve several appointments over a 5-6 week period, during which you will have the opportunity to customize the appearance of your permanent teeth.

1

Mouth Impressions

The lab uses specific materials to make your temporary implant bridge(s). If you have multiple missing teeth in the treated area, the doctor may suggest a wax try-in. This means creating a wax model of your temporary implant bridge to check bite alignment, aesthetics, and other aspects.

2

Procedure

The process includes extracting any teeth if needed and subsequently inserting implants. Additionally, temporary implant bridges will be installed. Typically, the procedure takes approximately 4 to 7 hours.

3

Post Op #1

Please ensure to monitor the healing progress after the procedure and don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.

4

Post Op #2

During the appointment scheduled 3 weeks after the procedure, the sutures will be taken out and the progress of healing will be assessed. Generally, at this point, the patient will receive approval to begin using a water flosser or WaterPik.

5

Final Teeth Impressions

6

Try In

After taking impressions, we will present you with a mock-up of your final teeth within 5-10 days. In some instances, multiple wax try-ins may be necessary. It is important for us to guarantee your satisfaction with the wax try-ins before moving forward with the final production. Once the fabrication process is finished, it will not be possible to make any alterations to the bridge(s). If you choose to make adjustments to your bridge(s) after approving and fabricating them, a full-cost remake charge will be applied.

7

Seat Final Teeth

Once you have approved the wax try-in(s), it typically takes approximately 4-6 weeks to prepare your bridge or bridges for seating.
