What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 replaces a whole arch of teeth, top or bottom, with a fixed set of 10 to 14 teeth held on just four implants. The teeth do not come out at night, there is no adhesive, and they bite, look and work like natural teeth.

It is the long-term answer for people who have lost most of their teeth in one jaw or are tired of a denture that moves. Because the four implants are angled to use the bone you already have, many people who were told they would need major bone grafting for regular implants can have All-on-4 without it.

• Natural-looking teeth, made to suit your face.
• Done in one surgery, with temporary teeth while your permanent set is made.
• Often no bone grafting needed.

All-on-4 Dental Implants in Houston, Texas

The first step is a consultation: an exam, digital scans and an honest answer on whether All-on-4 is right for you, with the cost in writing. Call 713-766-1122, book online, or come to 6295 Bissonnet St.

1. 1Sedation, so you are comfortable for the whole procedure.
2. 2Digital scans of your teeth and jaw to plan exactly where each post goes.
3. 3Any decayed or damaged teeth and infected tissue are removed.
4. 4Four implants are placed in the jaw, the back two at an angle, which makes them more stable and spreads the force when you bite.
5. 5Connectors called abutments go on the implants, and your new arch of teeth is fixed onto them.

Once fixed, the teeth stay in. Only your dentist can take them off.

All-on-4 needs less surgical preparation than replacing every tooth with its own implant. It may suit you if you:

• have lost, or are losing, most of the teeth in one arch;
• have lost some bone density in the jaw;
• have gum disease that rules out regular implants;
• have damage to the teeth or jaw from an injury.

It may not suit people whose immune system is weakened, for example by diabetes that is not under control or by lupus, because implants need to heal and bond with the bone to stay stable. We go through your health history with you at the consultation.

• Keep up your hygiene: brush twice a day and clean around the implants.
• Avoid very hard or sticky foods, especially while you heal.
• Come in for regular check-ups, so we can look at the implants and the gums around them.
• Follow the instructions you are given after surgery.
• Stop smoking: it slows healing and puts implants at risk.
• Use the cleaning tools we recommend, such as a water flosser or small brushes that reach under the bridge.

Both are implants placed in the jawbone. The difference is how many. Replacing every tooth with traditional implants takes more posts, often a bone graft first, and months of healing before the final teeth go on.

All-on-4 uses four posts for the whole arch, so healing is shorter, you wear temporary teeth until the permanent ones are ready, and it usually costs less and takes fewer visits than a full set of individual implants.

Unlike a removable denture, an All-on-4 arch stays fixed, so it feels and works like your own teeth when you eat, speak, sing or laugh. We plan it from digital scans, do it with sedation, and give you the price in writing before anything starts. Insurance can cover part of it (check your insurance), and you can pay monthly with Cherry.

All-on-4 is done with sedation, given by our own board-certified anesthesiologist. Read about sedation, or call 713-766-1122 and talk it through.
