Learn how you can benefit from All-on-4 implants and read through the common All-on-4 dental implant FAQs patients throughout the East Bay have asked about the treatment.

What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?

All-On-4 dental implants is a full-mouth restoration solution that places four dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This technique offers a permanent, screw-retained replacement for the entire upper and/or lower set of teeth.

Will All-On-Four Implants Look and Feel Natural?

Yes. All-On-4 implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. The prosthetic arch is crafted with close attention to detail, matching the color and shape of natural teeth to provide a seamless appearance.

What are the Advantages versus Traditional Implants?

Compared to traditional implants, All-On-4 implants require fewer posts and typically do not need bone grafting, which can expedite the treatment timeline. Additionally, All-On-4 can be more cost-effective and provide immediate functionality and aesthetics.

How Do I Know If I Am A Good Candidate For All-On-4?

A good candidate for All-On-4 dental implants includes those with substantial tooth loss, those suffering from bone loss in the jaw, which may preclude traditional implants, or those looking for a more stable and permanent solution than dentures. A comprehensive examination by a dental implant surgeon like Dr. Anthony Lizano will confirm candidacy.

How Do I Care for All-On-Four Implants?

Care for All-On-4 implants like you care for your natural teeth. At Diablo Valley Implant Dentistry, we recommend that you brush and floss daily as well as schedule regular dental check-ups with your dentist. Special attention is given to cleaning around the implant posts and under the prosthetic arch.

How Long Is The Recovery Period?

Recovery time varies with each patient, however most can expect a recovery period of about six months. During this time, patients are often provided with a temporary set of teeth until the final prosthesis is fitted.
