Can I Really Get a New Set of Teeth in Just One Day?

Are you missing most or all of your teeth and looking for a solution to restore your smile as quickly as possible? If so, you may want to learn more about All-on-4 fixed dentures, a teeth-in-a-day solution that delivers a complete, functional smile in a single visit for most patients. Dr. McGuire and his patient-centered team at Great Lakes Dentures and Implants use the latest digital technology and implant techniques to deliver superior results that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
What Are All-on-4 Implants?
All-on-4s are superior implant restorations that use as few as four implants strategically placed in your jawbone to support a complete arch of replacement teeth. Dr. McGuire uses advanced digital technology to map the precise position of each implant before your procedure begins, allowing for accurate placement and predictable, functional results.
The back implants are angled at precise positions to maximize contact with the available bone, providing a secure, stable foundation for your new restorations without the need for bone grafting in most cases. As your implants integrate with your jawbone over the following months, they deliver unmatched stability and function, providing a teeth-in-a-day solution with long-lasting results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-4 Treatment?
All-on-4 treatment is an excellent solution for many patients, but a thorough evaluation is the best way to confirm it is the right fit for you. Good candidates generally include the following:
- Patients missing most or all of their teeth, or those with failing teeth that need to be extracted
- Patients with healthy gums and no active periodontal disease
- Patients with sufficient bone volume to support implants at the angles required for All-on-4 placement
- Patients in good overall health with no conditions that significantly interfere with healing
- Patients who do not smoke or those willing to quit before and during treatment, because smoking may interfere with healing and increase your risk of implant failure
- Patients who are committed to good oral hygiene and keeping up with regular preventive care visits
One of the most significant advantages of All-on-4 treatment is that it is designed to work with less bone density than traditional implant options. Patients who have been told they are not implant candidates due to bone loss may still qualify. Dr. McGuire will evaluate your oral health and bone density and help you determine the ideal option to restore your smile.
What Is the All-on-4 Placement Process?
Dr. McGuire will ensure you are comfortable before treatment begins, using local anesthesia and offering sedation options if needed. He will remove any remaining failing teeth, place your implants in your jawbone, and outfit you with a provisional arch of replacement teeth, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence during your healing period.
Once your implants have integrated with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration, Dr. McGuire will place your final permanent restorations, which are custom-crafted to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Fixed Dentures?
All-on-4 implants offer several significant advantages, including the following:
- Teeth in a Day: You leave our office with a complete, natural-looking smile on the same day as your procedure.
- No Bone Grafting in Most Cases: The precise angling of the implants allows many patients with bone loss to qualify for treatment without first needing a bone graft.
- Superior Stability: Your implants are anchored to your jawbone, eliminating the slipping, shifting, and adhesives often associated with traditional dentures.
- Restored Function: All-on-4s restore your ability to enjoy the foods you love, speak clearly, and smile with confidence once again.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper care and regular visits to Great Lakes Dentures and Implants for preventive care, your All-on-4 fixed dentures can last for decades or even a lifetime.
