Patients who have chosen implant supported teeth report they are happy and comfortable for the first time since the loss of their original teeth.

Anyone missing teeth is a candidate for dental implants. A consultation with your dentist will clarify what type of treatment you require. Some cases can be relatively simple. All facts of your imsplant treatment will be discussed with you in detail after a thorough diagnosis is made.

Your diagnosis for dental implant treatment will include x-rays, study models, measurements, clinical exams and an evaluation of your medical conditions.

The All-On-Four procedure is designed to permanently replace all of your teeth on a single arch, using eight total posts for replacement of both the upper and lower arch. Why four posts? Try thinking of a roadway bridge: The engineer who designs it doesn’t put a support column under every inch – only enough columns to successfully carry the weight of the bridge, plus any other forces exerted on it. In a similar way, this is the same way your new smile will be achieved.
