All-on-4® Dental Implants

What are All-on-4® Dental Implants?

Smiles Only specializes in providing the transformative All-on-4® treatment, a revolutionary full-mouth restoration procedure. Often referred to as “teeth in a day,” this procedure is designed to address various dental concerns such as lost or broken teeth, extensive tooth decay, and aging dental work. In just one day, we can restore your smile and functionality using a bridge supported by four to six dental implants, giving you a complete smile makeover.

How do All-on-4® Dental Implants Work?

The All-on-4® dental implant procedure involves a comprehensive process. First, we remove any damaged teeth and carefully place the implants. On the same day, we attach a temporary set of teeth to the implants to ensure your comfort and appearance. Over the next 4-6 months, a healing phase takes place, during which the implants integrate with the bone. During this period, we recommend a soft diet to aid in the healing process. Once the healing is complete, we create a final set of teeth tailored perfectly to your measurements and aesthetic preferences.

Cost

We offer transparent pricing for our All-on-4® dental implant solution:

  • Upper OR Lower: $23,000 (includes extractions, implants, temporary teeth, final zirconia teeth, and general anesthesia)
  • Upper AND Lower: $38,000 (includes extractions, implants, temporary teeth, final zirconia teeth, and general anesthesia)

*** If financing will be utilized, please ask our office team for the most accurate overall cost

Timeline

Our All-on-4® dental implant process involves multiple stages, which typically span around 6 months. After the initial consultation, we remove damaged teeth and place the implants. Over the next 4-5 months, the implants heal while you wear the temporary healing teeth. Following this healing period, we commence the fabrication process to create your final set of teeth. In most cases, your transformation is complete within 6 months. To ensure the long-term success of your implants and overall oral health, we recommend regular dental check-ups and prefer to see our patients every six months for cleanings, which play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the implant.

All-on-4® Dental Implants – Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be able to eat on the same day I receive my new teeth?

Absolutely! While your implants and teeth are securely placed from day one, we recommend following a soft diet during the 4–6-month healing period. You can enjoy any food that can be easily cut with a plastic fork.

How should I care for my All-on-4® teeth?

Caring for your All-on-4® teeth is simple but crucial. They should be treated just like your natural teeth—brushing and flossing regularly is key. In particular, a water flosser is the ideal tool to clean your All-on-4® prosthetic effectively. Just a few minutes each day dedicated to this routine can significantly contribute to the longevity and health of your implants and overall oral hygiene.

Single Tooth Implants

What Are Single Tooth Implants?

Experience a long-term replacement for damaged or missing teeth in a specific area with single-tooth dental implants. These implants offer a natural appearance, improved chewing ability, minimal bone loss after tooth extraction, and no negative impact on neighboring teeth.

How Do Single Tooth Implants Work?

Single-tooth dental implants work by attaching a crown to a titanium screw anchored in the jaw. This provides a permanent solution that closely resembles a natural tooth.

Cost

We offer single-tooth dental implants at a competitive price:

  • Cost: $2,600 (includes the implant, abutment, and crown) This fee does not include any bone grafting if necessary

*** If financing will be utilized, please ask our office team for the most accurate overall cost

Timeline

The single-tooth implant process involves several steps. First, we place the implant, which requires a healing period of 4-6 months. Following this healing phase, we perform an “uncovery” procedure, accessing the implant from under the gums and placing a healing abutment. After two weeks, the gums were remodeled around the abutment, allowing us to take an impression of the crown (tooth). Finally, our lab creates the crown, which is then placed onto the abutment to complete your implant. To ensure the long-term success of your implants and overall oral health, we recommend regular dental check-ups and prefer to see our patients every six months for cleanings, which play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the implant.

Single Tooth Implants – Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an implant for each missing tooth?

The number of implants required depends on your unique case. A consultation is necessary to determine the best treatment for you.

Can I remove my implant?

No, once your implant is completed, it cannot be removed. It becomes a permanent part of your smile.

Implant Bridges

What Are Implant Bridges?

Implant bridges, also referred to as implant-supported or fixed bridges, are innovative dental solutions designed to replace missing teeth. They utilize dental implants strategically placed within the jawbone to create a stable foundation for attaching lifelike artificial teeth. These artificial teeth, or crowns, are meticulously positioned by a skilled restorative dentist.

Implant bridges offer a multitude of advantages over traditional dentures, providing a long-lasting solution without the inconvenience of removable options. They not only restore your ability to speak and chew with ease but also enhance your overall appearance. Implant bridges are crafted to closely mimic natural teeth, offering improved functionality and a seamless, natural look.

How Do Implant Bridges Work?

The process of obtaining an implant bridge involves several key steps. During your treatment visit, a local anesthetic is administered to ensure your comfort as dental implants are securely attached to your jawbone. Remarkably, only two implants may be needed to replace three or more missing teeth, preserving the integrity of adjacent teeth.

Next, molds of your teeth are created to enable a dental laboratory to fabricate a custom bridge that harmoniously blends with your natural teeth. Temporary teeth are temporarily placed over the dental implants for a period of 2 to 6 months. This allows the implants to firmly integrate with your bone and surrounding tissue. Once the implants have gained sufficient strength, the custom bridge is affixed by attaching the false teeth to the dental implants.

Implant Bridges – Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the implant bridge process take?

The implant bridge procedure typically involves multiple visits over several months. This allows for proper healing and integration of the dental implants. The timeline may vary depending on individual factors and specific cases.

Are implant bridges more stable than traditional dentures?

Yes, implant bridges are known for their stability. They are securely anchored to dental implants, eliminating the need for adhesives or worries about slipping dentures. This stability greatly enhances chewing and speaking functions.

Can implant bridges replace multiple missing teeth?

Absolutely. Implant bridges are versatile and can replace several missing teeth, making them an excellent option for patients with multiple tooth gaps.
