All-on-4TM in Winchester

WE ARE Certified as All-on-4 National Center of Excellence

All-on-4TM is a contemporary restoration that has revolutionized the way surgeons and dentists think of replacing a full set of teeth. Standard dentures are unsecured prostheses with inherent limitations. Most often, dentures are painful, inconvenient and unstable. Such dentures can make chewing foods difficult, limiting the foods that you once enjoyed. Modern dentistry can help with implant supported dentures.

Dr. Dickson talks about Dental Implants

The All-on-4TM treatment concept replaces your missing teeth with a full dental bridge supported by dental implants. Fewer implants are needed and overall treatment time and cost is reduced. An All-on-4TM solution also ensures greater stability in the bone, reducing the need for bone graft surgery to increase bone volume. All-on-4TM stays connected with bar and clip attachment methods or use a variety of abutment-based attachments (ball, magnets, and resilient stud attachments such as Locators). The most appropriate attachment system for your individual needs relates to a variety of factors that is determined early in the treatment. Typically, a temporary set of teeth can be placed on the same day of surgery. The temporary teeth allow you to lead a normal life immediately after surgery. After a short healing period, your dentist will place the final bridge. Your quality of life is improved, and you can start enjoying your favorite foods again with renewed confidence.

  • A cost effective solution. When compared to some other implant supported restoration methods, your new replacement teeth require fewer implants for each jaw. With fewer implants required, the cost is lowered.
  • Reduced need for bone grafting. The special angled placement of two of the implants ensures a secure and stable anchorage for the replaced arch, often making bone grafting unnecessary.
  • Faster treatment and healing time. Your replacement arch can be attached to your implants immediately after insertion.
  • Scientifically proven and documented. All-on-4TM has good clinical outcomes from decade long studies with favorable results.

All-on-4® Dental Implant FAQs

What are All-on-4® dental implants?
All-on-4® dental implants are a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses four strategically placed dental implants to support a fixed set of replacement teeth. This treatment provides a secure, natural-looking smile for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth.

Who is a good candidate for All-on-4® dental implants?
All-on-4® may be a great option for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, have failing teeth, or are tired of wearing removable dentures. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and jawbone to determine if this treatment is right for you.

Can I get a new smile in one day with All-on-4®?
Many patients receive a temporary, fixed set of teeth on the same day their dental implants are placed. After the implants heal and fuse with the jawbone, your final custom restoration will be securely attached.

What are the benefits of All-on-4® dental implants?
All-on-4® dental implants provide improved stability, better chewing ability, enhanced speech, and a more natural appearance compared to traditional dentures. They also help preserve jawbone health and eliminate the need for denture adhesives.

How long do All-on-4® dental implants last?
With proper care and routine dental visits, the implants themselves can last for many years, often a lifetime. The custom prosthetic teeth are also designed for long-term durability but may require maintenance or replacement over time due to normal wear.

Is the All-on-4® procedure painful?
The procedure is performed using local anesthesia and, when appropriate, sedation to ensure your comfort. Most patients experience mild soreness and swelling afterward, which typically improves within a few days and can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication.
