All On 4®

ATTENTION: Currently our practices do NOT have an associate dentist that performs implants and All-on-X implant dentures ON-SITE. We currently do the restoration/implant crown needed after having the implant placed with a refferal dentist off-site that we have found has done an excellent job with our implant clients & needed procedures. We hope to once again have an associate dentist in the future to do these on-site and will update this message at that time. We apologize for the current inconvenience of going off-site. Thank you for your understanding as our goal is to make sure you recieve optimal dental health care in all of our services offered!

With the use of just four implants, all of your teeth on either the top or bottom of your mouth can be replaced. It will be fixed into place, feels and function like natural teeth.

How do Dental Implants Work?

Perhaps implants are a new term for you when it comes to dentistry. We want you to have a great understanding of how this technique works to see if it is right for you or someone you know. For starters, you should know what a dental implant is. When one receives a dental implant there is a small titanium screw that replaces the root, part of the missing tooth. The screw fits inside of the jawbone perfectly. This procedure of placing the screw is considered a minor surgery and is required in order to place the implants. When the screw, or implant is properly placed into your jaw, we then attach a crown. Aesthetically, you will have a tooth that looks realistic and it is functional for you.

The great thing about All on 4® dental implants is that you don’t need to place an implant for every single tooth that you are missing. All we will do for your all on four implants is given you four perfectly placed implants for your top arch and four implants on your bottom arch. Between the 8 implants in the whole mouth, your smile will be completely restored. This is the excitement behind all-on-four. Another great benefit of using the titanium or zirconia implant is that this material comes with the unique ability to fuse. The living bone in your jaw will fuse to the titanium screw. This is great because you will never have to worry about your new pearly whites falling out. Your new smile will be long-lasting, and strong and give you the confidence that this is a permanent fix.

In addition to the fusion that takes place with the implant and your jaw bone, there is another benefit. The fusion prevents any future loss of bone that could possibly happen in the jaw. You will be able to enjoy a more youthful facial structure because of this procedure and don’t forget about better oral health! Will All on 4® dental implants, you will love all the amazing benefits, but you will most likely be grateful for the quick transformation that comes into your life because of your great smile.

At Total Health Dentistry All on 4® dental implants can transform your smile into something new in just one day. Our expert implant team in combination with the precise technology that has been developed provides the way to give most, if not all patients a brand new smile in just one day.

If you are missing a majority of your teeth, then here is why you should consider the approach we use here at Total Health Dentistry:

• Everything that you need for the procedure is in one facility for you • You can be fully sedated while our expert team places the all-on-four dental implants and your new arches of teeth in your mouth. • As you leave our office, you will be flashing your new smile with natural looking and full functioning teeth

It is important for you to know that while you may be walking out of our office with a new smile that came about in one day, these arches are only temporary. The implants (titanium or zirconia screws), were placed surgically, which means that there is healing that needs to take place and over time they will completely fuse to your jawbone. We will consult you on what the time frame typically is and this is estimated on a patient-to-patient basis. Once the healing and fusion are complete, you will return to our office and our team will then replace your temporary teeth with your permanent, customized smile that we designed specifically for you.
