Get Teeth In A Day With All-On-4

If you’d like to get teeth in a day in Loveland, CO, Dr. Andrew Howard is here to help. Dr. Howard is an expert in All-On-4. This unique approach to implant dentistry allows patients to replace a full mouth of missing teeth during just one visit to the Center for Advanced Dentistry.

Not only is All-On-4 a fast way to restore your smile and your bite, but it’s also the best long-term option for replacing missing teeth. Compared to other treatments like dentures, All-On-4 is more stable, convenient, lasts longer, and looks and feels more natural, too.

What Is All-On-4 Or “All-On-X?”

All-On-4 is a treatment that uses four dental implants to replace the upper, lower, or both rows of your teeth. It’s a great alternative to dentures for patients who have extensive tooth loss and would prefer a more comfortable, secure, and long-lasting tooth replacement.

All-On-4 is also sometimes called “All-On-X” because it can also be used with six implants or even eight implants, in some cases. Here’s a quick overview of the most common “All-On-X” treatments.

  • All-On-4 – All-On-4 is the most common type of “All-On-X” treatment. It involves placing four dental implants into the upper, lower, or both arches of the teeth. These implants are placed at an angle to maximize strength and stability.
  • All-On-6 – For some patients, All-On-6 treatment may be a better option than All-On-4. These treatments are very similar. The only difference is that All-On-6 requires a series of six implants. All-On-6 provides enhanced stability and may also be recommended for patients whose jawbones are not strong enough for All-On-4.

  • 3-On-6 – This is a slightly different approach to restoring a full mouth of teeth. Instead of using a single fixed bridge, 3-on-6 uses a set of three individual dental bridges that are permanently attached to a series of six dental implants. 

You may also hear All-On-4 or All-On-X being referred to as “teeth in a day.” This is because, unlike with traditional dental implants, it’s usually possible to attach a temporary set of teeth to your dental implants right away. In just one visit, you can walk out of the Center for Advanced Dentistry with a new smile.

The Benefits Of Getting Teeth In A Day With All-On-4

Get a new smile immediately

The most obvious benefit of All-On-4 is that you can get teeth in a day. Due to the unique construction and placement of the dental implants used for All-On-4, it’s possible for Dr. Howard to “immediately load” the dental implants with a temporary set of new teeth.

You will still need to watch what you eat and take steps to make sure you heal and recover properly. Then, once your implants have fully healed, Dr. Howard will remove your temporary teeth and replace them with a permanent set of porcelain teeth.

Enhanced stability

Once your dental implants heal, your new teeth will be extremely strong and stable with All-On-4. Unlike with traditional dentures, you won’t have to worry about your teeth moving around when you bite or chew, which makes it much easier to eat tough or chewy foods.

Natural, lifelike appearance

Dentures are usually made out of plastic resin, and they may not always look completely natural. In contrast, All-On-4 uses a fixed set of porcelain teeth. These teeth look extremely realistic, and Dr. Howard will work closely with you to design a smile that fits perfectly into your mouth.

Long lifespan

Dental implants can last 30+ years with proper care. Not only that, but your new teeth will be very durable, too. All-On-4 fixed dentures typically last 10-15 years, which is much longer than traditional dentures.

No need to remove your teeth

Unlike “snap-on” implant-supported dentures and traditional dentures, there’s no need to take out your All-On-4 dentures to clean them, or to remove them at night to let your mouth “rest.” Your new teeth will be permanently fixed in place and never have to be removed, which makes your life much more convenient.

Teeth In A Day – Understanding The All-On-4 Process

Wondering how you can get teeth in a day in Loveland, CO? Here’s a quick overview of the All-On-4 process and what you can expect if you decide to choose Dr. Howard for full mouth reconstruction.

  • Preparatory procedures – All-On-4 requires the removal of all of your existing teeth. Sometimes, this can be done alongside All-On-4 implant surgery, but extractions may need to be done in advance in some cases. You may also need bone grafts if your jawbone is not strong enough to accommodate dental implants.

  • Placing your dental implants – First, Dr. Howard will clean and numb your mouth for your comfort. We also offer a wide variety of sedation options to keep you comfortable, including IV “twilight sedation.” Once your mouth is numb, Dr. Howard will use his surgical plan to place a set of four implants in the upper and lower arches of your mouth.
  • Attaching your new teeth – Once Dr. Howard has placed your implants, he will attach a set of temporary teeth to them immediately. You will be able to walk out of our office with a brand-new smile.
  • Healing and recovery – Dr. Howard will give you some detailed recovery instructions on how to care for your temporary teeth and how to protect your mouth as you heal. The initial healing phase takes a few weeks, but you can get back to your normal routine within a day or two.

  • Osseointegration and checkups – It will usually take 4-6 months for your dental implants to fully bond with your jawbone. During this time, you will come in for checkups with Dr. Howard so that he can track your recovery process and begin crafting your final set of teeth.
  • Final fixed denture placement – At your last visit, Dr. Howard will remove your temporary teeth. Then, he will check the fit of your permanent All-On-4 fixed dentures to make sure everything looks great. Finally, he will attach them permanently to your dental implants to restore your smile, bite, and self-confidence.
