All-on-Four® Dental Implants Making New, Non-Removable Teeth a

Reality in Just One Day

This article explains just how the All-on-4® implant technique makes

it possible for New Jersey residents to get new, beautiful and non-

removable teeth in just one day.

“New teeth in one day” is what specialists say the All-on-4® dental

implant protocol is capable of and this is no exaggeration! To date,

countless New Jersey residents and those from elsewhere in the world

have been successfully treated and have since been enjoying the

benefits of a full set of natural looking, immediately functional, non-

removable teeth. The ability to go from having failing or missing teeth

or traditional removable dentures to having a full set of natural looking

and feeling teeth in just one day may sound like fantasy rather than

fact, but it is true. Every day, the specialists who treat New Jersey

residents for tooth loss achieve outcomes that were previously thought

impossible and it’s the stuff of dreams for those with a “terminal” or

failing dentition and the already edentulous (those without any teeth at

all).

So, how does the All-on-4® work and how does it make this all possible?

Only Four Dental Implants

The All-on-Four®

technique differs

from traditional

dental implant

techniques in a

number of ways.

First and foremost,

it only requires

only four

strategically placed

implants to provide patients with a new set of non-removable teeth in

the form of a customized prosthetic dental bridge. Due to a lack of data

and understanding, more “traditional” protocols would require

anywhere between six and ten implants per jaw in order to give

patients new teeth! This not only worked out to be prohibitively

expensive for many people, but it would frequently require multiple

surgeries, including bone grafting, as usually there wasn’t enough bone

for that many implants! Fortunately, we now know typically none of

that is necessary! This brings us to our next point…

Only One Surgery

The All-on-4® is specifically innovated to be done all at once, with a

single surgery and prosthetic session and in most cases it does just this.

Instead of waiting for your implants to heal before you have your bridge

(and new set of teeth) placed, you can get it all done on the same day.

There are exceptions to this rule of course and your dental implant

surgeon will discuss this with you.

No Bone Grafting, In Most Cases

Another key feature of the All-on-4® protocol is that it typically avoids

the need for bone grafting, whereas older dental implant techniques

would frequently require this additional procedure before a patient

could receive implants. Tooth loss doesn’t only wreck your smile… it

also causes the underlying bone to atrophy and shrink. Add the

destructive effects of periodontal (gum) disease on bone tissue to the

mix and you have a jawbone that simply doesn’t have the bulk

necessary to support implants. This is why bone grafting would

frequently need to be done beforehand.

However, owing to the strategic placement of dental implants and

careful treatment planning and mapping, the All-on-4® can, in most

cases, bypass bone grafting and this saves patients many months of

healing, not to mention the associated costs, pain and discomfort. And,

of course, it makes it possible for New Jersey residents to get new

teeth in one day!

A Final Note

For all these reasons, getting new, non-removable teeth in just one

appointment is a very real possibility for the patients who have a failing

dentition and who have lost most or all of their teeth. The All-on-4® is

at the very cutting edge of the modern techniques for fixed oral

rehabilitation.
