For patients suffering from missing teeth or challenging tooth problems, the Dental Implant specialists at Washington Center for Dentistry have the answer for those seeking long-term results and a beautiful, natural new smile. All-on-4 dental implants offer our patients non-removable replacement teeth by placing a complete arch of prosthetic teeth on just 4 dental implants. They are surgically set in at angles and use the best available bone for support. Since the All-on-4 technique is designed to place only 4 implants, which do not typically require bone grafts, they are an ideal choice for patients with low bone density. The implants are comfortable and secure, and patients enjoy a fast recovery.
Dental implants by All-on-4 can be utilized to substitute the upper and/or lower arches together with dental implants connected to dentures made custom for you. You could be an good candidate for All-on-4 implants in the event that you prefer the advantages of implanted dentures over traditional, removable dentures, which include no or few dietary restrictions, no sticky adhesives, and no denture soaking. You will have to have good bone and gum density in order to get implants, as the screws rely upon your gums and bone to hold them in position. If needed, gum and/or bone grafts may be performed before implant surgery. Our team can determine if this treatment is best for you during your initial consultation and will help discuss all your choices.

What’s the secret to the wondrous All-on-4 dental implants? We owe it all to technology! A CT computerized X-ray of the jaw, along with 3-D dental implant software, helps plan the
positions of the implant in the jaw. This technology also allows us to fabricate your new teeth before the actual surgery. This computer-assisted surgery is accurate, safe and less painful.
No, most patients don’t find the All-On-4 implant procedure painful. At Washington Center for Dentistry, our expert team of doctors pairs powerful local anesthetic to totally numb the treatment area with multiple sedation options to ensure you are comfortable throughout the entire procedure. For a few days following your procedure, there may be some minor swelling and soreness, but this is usually easily controlled with over-the-counter pain relievers (always consult your physician).
How many office visits will I need to get my All-On-4 implants?
Because of the innovative placement of the implants, almost anyone can be a great candidate for All-On-4 dental implants, even if they’ve been told they aren’t a candidate for traditional dental implants because of a lack of jawbone density. During your consultation, we will examine you to ensure you’re a great All-On-4 candidate. Patients that may not be candidates include those who have:
To start your All-on-4 treatment, our trusted professionals at Washington Center for Dentistry will take custom impressions and X-rays of your mouth. We then create a personalized treatment plan and talk about your options for sedation throughout the process. During your first appointment, the dental implants will be placed in your dental arch. A temporary restoration should protect the implants while your mouth heals and your dentures are crafted. After several months, you will come back to have your custom-made dentures attached and possibly adjusted for a more comfortable fit.
