All-on-4®

*Patient of Dr. Golestani

For many people, dental implants may be the best solution to replace missing teeth. However, patients who lack sufficient bone volume may have been told they need to undergo a time-consuming, painful and costly bone grafting procedure prior to placing dental implants or they may have been discouraged altogether from having dental implants.

With the All-on-4® dental implant technique, in as little as one visit, we can fit you with a new set of teeth.  Even if you have been  told that you are not a candidate for dental implants or are lacking enough bone for implants, you may be eligible for the All-on-4® treatment.

What Is All-On-4® ?

All-on-4® is a revolutionary approach which allows the total oral rehabilitation of patients with the placement of only 4 titanium dental implants in each jaw, through a quick and minimally invasive procedure. The Implants act as a foundation for the bridge, which allows the placement of a fixed set of teeth similar to natural teeth.   The All-on-4® allows even those patients with virtually no bone to have fixed teeth without the need for bone grafting. The result is a fixed (non-removable) natural looking dentition, indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Advantages of All-On-4® procedure

• Success rates higher than traditional implant techniques– 98%;
• Virtually eliminates the need for bone grafting, which is invasive, costly, and uncomfortable for patients;
• The procedure is well tolerated and of a short duration ,typically takes about 1 to 3 hours for complete oral rehabilitation;
• Can usually be performed in patients with diabetes, osteoporosis or other health conditions that are often contraindications for bone grafting;
• Procedure is done in a matter of days – not only the dental surgery, but also the placement of fixed (non-removable) teeth with immediate function. Traditional techniques often involve multiple surgeries and can take over a year to complete;
• Natural-looking teeth that feel and work like your natural dentition;
• Highly hygienic – easy to maintain and clean;
• Cost-savings – typically about half the cost of alternative techniques (bone grafting and the placement of more than 4 implants).

Is All-On-4® The Right Solution For Me?

At Dental 359 we do an initial appointment with the purpose to evaluate your current dental health. During this appointment we will advise you the best treatment options for your needs, answering all your questions.

Many of our patients come to Dental 359 because they are unhappy with their existing bridgework or denture and are seeking an alternative,  fixed prosthesis. Also, many patients have been discouraged from implants because they lack sufficient bone volume or suffer from some health problems where conventional surgery with bone grafting is contraindicated. For all these cases, inclusive of patients with severe bone loss, All-on-4® Dental Implants may be the right solution.
