We understand that each smile is unique, and we are committed to creating personalized tooth replacement solutions that feel natural and give you a beautiful smile.
At Smile Source in Spokane Valley, our tooth replacement services cater to the diverse lifestyle needs of our patients. Sometimes called "new teeth in a day," All-on-4 technology involves strategically placing four implants to secure a denture, eliminating the need for more than four implants and allowing completion in just one or two appointments. This enhances the fit of your denture and eliminates the need for creams, adhesive strips, or gels. The procedure is safe and straightforward; many patients can start using their new smiles on the very same day as their visit!
What are All-on-4 Implants?
All-on-4 technology refers to placing four strategically planned implants to keep a denture in place. This prevents the need for more than just four implants to be used and all of the implants can be placed in one or two appointments. The procedure helps your denture to fit more securely and prevents the need for creams, adhesive strips and gels. The procedure is safe, easy and most implants heal fully in about six months.
Do I Need All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Patients often select All-on-4 implants to replace a current prosthesis constantly slipping and falling out. Likewise, your prosthetic appliance might be uncomfortable or ill-fitting, causing you to feel pain or discomfort whenever you put it in. The implants easily keep the denture in place so that it won't slip or budge. This allows for a more natural and realistic-looking smile.
Are Dental Implants Right For Me?
The majority of patients who want all-on-4 implants can safely have the procedure done. It's important to remember that dental implants rely on healthy underlying jawbone mass to bond fully. If you have bone loss, our dentists may suggest a bone graft surgery at our Spokane Valley dental office before dental implant placement.
At your consultation, our team will go over your health and medical history before placing implants to ensure you are healthy enough to undergo the implant procedure and heal from it.
How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?
The first step in placing your All-on-4 implants will be discussing your sedative options so that we can provide you with the comfortable experience you expect. We then administer this sedation and begin the surgery. Small incisions are made through the gums and the titanium implant posts are inserted deep into the bone.
The sutures may be sutured to close the area and help promote proper healing. Over the course of about three to six months, your implants will naturally begin to fuse with the surrounding bone and become secure, stable and virtually permanent. You'll return to our Spokane Valley dental office and have a specially made denture for you after taking impressions. We'll show you how to care for your All-on-4 implants and maintain your results well into the future!
