TEETH IN A DAY

Traditional dental implants are placed vertically, which limits how many replacement teeth they can handle. In some cases, like with implant bridges, you could have three to four new teeth attached to only two implants. But that's not really helpful for people missing most or all of their natural teeth. 

All-on-4® implants can secure your entire upper or lower set of teeth with as little as four implants. How? The secret is how they're placed during the surgery. Two of the implants are put in vertically, like traditional dental implants, and the other two are placed diagonally. 

Thanks to the laws of physics (and rigorous clinical testing), Nobel Biocare's specially designed implants can bear an entire arch of teeth.

Yes! Here's how it works:

• Our dentist will take x-rays and other scans of your whole mouth to ensure you're a good candidate for the All-on-4® procedure.
• On the day of your surgery, you'll be given a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable and pain free.
• If needed, our surgeon will extract any existing teeth first on the same day as your implant procedure. 
• Our surgeon will make the necessary incisions into your gums and place the patented Nobel Biocare implants.  
• Then we will attach a temporary set of teeth to the implants, which will look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.

It sounds simple because it is! And you can start using your new teeth as soon as your procedure is finished. Voila—new teeth in a day!

You'll keep the temporary replacement teeth for anywhere from three to six months while your gums heal. This will also give your bone adequate time to start healing and growing around the implants, which is important for their stability and your bone health. Once everything is completely healed, you will get your permanent replacement teeth.

With proper oral hygiene and routine dental checkups, your new teeth can last a whole lifetime. And what's even better is that Nobel Biocare offers a lifetime warranty for their implants—so if anything ever does happen and you need a replacement, your beautiful new smile is covered by the manufacturer.

Is there any reason you should choose All-on-4® over traditional implants? Yes!

Both types of implants have fantastic benefits to patients who need a permanent solution for missing teeth. However, if you are missing most or all of your natural teeth, the All-on-4® teeth in a day procedure is the preferred solution for several reasons.

All-on-4® Implants

• Between four and six implants
• Lower cost
• Completed in one day
• Lifetime guarantee

Traditional Implants

• One implant per tooth
• Higher cost
• May need multiple appointments
• May need bone graft first

At your first appointment, our dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums and let you know which solution is best for your specific needs. 

If you've been missing your natural teeth for a while, you may be getting by with dentures. These can be a great solution, but there are a few important differences you should know to make an informed decision. 

First, traditional dentures are removable. This can be helpful for keeping them clean, but it leads to several problems for which you'll need to be prepared. One problem is that dentures may slip out during physical activity, especially if they are an older pair. You can usually fix this problem with denture adhesives, but many patients dislike the taste. 

With our teeth in a day service, your new teeth will be permanent. They will look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth, and they can only be removed by a qualified dentist. Many patients love this feature because it means they don't have to worry about the embarrassment of their dentures falling out or the hassle of applying denture adhesives. 

Second, traditional dentures do not stimulate your jawbone. Over time, your bone mass will deteriorate, which can alter the shape of your face. With our implants, your jawbone will get the proper stimulation every time you eat. This will keep your bones healthy and retain your face shape as you get older. 

Third, traditional dentures are not guaranteed for life. On average, patients need to get a new set of dentures every five to seven years. That may not seem like a disadvantage at first glance; but you never know what will happen in the future. 

But with proper oral hygiene, our teeth in a day can last a lifetime. That means you only have to pay for one set of new teeth, get all steps of the procedure done in the same day, and you have a truly permanent fix
