All-On-4 is a dental implant procedure that uses only four dental implants to restore an entire arch of missing teeth. At the Center for Advanced Dentistry, this implant placement technique is ideal for patients with insufficient bone structure to support traditional dental implants. Sometimes called “Teeth in a Day,” treatment with All-On-4 dental implants in San Jose provides patients with the look and feel of natural teeth with the convenience of permanent teeth.

The Procedure for All-On-4 Dental Implants

First, the jaw is assessed to determine how the implants should be placed, and where the bone is strongest. Typically, four implants are placed on the top of the jaw to provide maximum support. Next, any teeth that need to be removed are extracted, and a temporary set of teeth is placed. The implants are positioned within the jaw, and the temporary teeth are attached.

After the healing process is complete, the permanent restorations are attached. These include a fixed bridge that fills the gaps and a set of customized teeth.

The Benefits of All-On-4 Dental Implants

All-On-4 is an excellent choice for patients who do not have the bone volume to support traditional dental implants. It utilizes only four implants, whereas conventional implant dentures often require six to eight posts, allowing for a less invasive and shorter treatment process. This approach will ensure that you can smile with confidence, and you do not need to remove your teeth for cleaning or when you sleep. All-On-4 offers a stable, comfortable fit that will improve your quality of life and allow you to eat and speak easily.
