How it Works

This procedure involves the extraction of any remaining teeth, the placement of 4-6 implants per arch, and the attachment of a low-profile bridge to those implants. The implants are strategically positioned to avoid the patient's sinuses, eliminating the need for expensive bone grafts and long healing periods.

Our doctor has improved the traditional All-On-4 procedure by customizing it based on their expertise and understanding, resulting in a more favorable outcome for patients. At Indiana Dentures and Implants, we carefully assess each case and tailor our treatment to the individual patient's anatomy. Your doctor will implant between four and six implants per arch, and temporary fixed bridges will be installed while your implants integrate with your jawbones and your mouth heals.

Once the healing process is complete, the doctor and lab technician will design your final teeth using zirconia, a material that is significantly stronger than the acrylic denture teeth commonly offered at other dental practices. Zirconia also provides a more natural and lifelike appearance, is more hygienic, and is resistant to staining. As a result, these teeth will have a longer lifespan and a superior aesthetic compared to the acrylic/titanium hybrid bridges commonly found elsewhere.

Most patients, even those who have been told they don't have enough bone for dental implants, can have this procedure. To avoid the sinuses and use the strongest bone, your doctor will use a mix of straight and angled implants. This technique usually eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming sinus augmentation bone grafts. During your free consultation, your doctor will assess if All-On-4, also called "Teeth in a Day," is right for you.

All extractions, unlimited implants, temporary fixed teeth, and permanent fixed teeth are included in the pricing.

Our pricing in the area is unmatched, leading to outstanding results. This is made possible by our experienced dentist who supervises the entire procedure and our proficient in-house dental lab technician. Together, they have successfully performed this procedure on multiple occasions.

frequently asked questions

Yes, it is possible! Nevertheless, although your implants and teeth are firmly placed from the beginning, we kindly request that you stick to a soft diet for the 4-month healing period. What does this mean exactly? A useful guideline is to consume only foods that can be easily cut with a plastic fork. This precaution is necessary because you are making a long-term investment that could potentially last for several decades or even the rest of your life. By maintaining a softer diet during the healing period, you will promote optimal integration of the implants into your bone and increase the likelihood of achieving the best possible long-term results.

Taking care of your teeth, including All-On-4 teeth and implants, is a straightforward but important task. Just like natural teeth, it is crucial to brush and floss regularly. By dedicating a few minutes each day, you can maintain the health of your mouth and implants. Use a soft bristle toothbrush to brush your bridges and clean underneath them with a water flosser like the well-known brand WaterPik, multiple times a day.

To minimize the chances of complications with dental implants, it is advisable to refrain from smoking. Diabetics should also exercise caution as they are at a higher risk of complications. Managing your diabetes is vital for the long-term success of your implants.

Furthermore, it is essential to schedule regular visits to your dentist for evaluations of your new implant teeth throughout the year.

Although individual experiences may differ, it is normal to experience some discomfort and potential swelling after your procedure. It is worth noting that many patients report minimal discomfort during their post-operative appointment the following day. To alleviate any discomfort, you will be provided with prescribed pain medication. Additionally, if deemed suitable for your case, the doctor may administer a steroid shot to assist with discomfort and swelling in the initial days.

Compared to alternative options for full arch or full mouth replacement, the recovery time for this procedure is typically shorter and easier to handle. This is mainly because the bridges are directly connected to your jaws using implants. Unlike traditional dentures and implant dentures, there is no requirement for healing periods during which the dentures may shift and cause discomfort. The majority of your pain should diminish within 1-2 weeks, and full healing is usually accomplished within 6 months.

At Lakeshore Dental Studio, we want to clarify that mini dental implants are not part of our All-On-4 teeth in a day procedure. We advise caution when considering offices that recommend mini dental implants as a permanent solution, as they have a high rate of failure and complications. However, we do offer snap-in implant dentures as a viable option for certain patients. If you are interested, we have a dedicated page on our website where you can learn more about this service. It can be a more cost-effective alternative to the All-On-4 Teeth in a Day dental implant procedure.

Our focus is solely on dental implants and prosthetics. We are dedicated to providing exceptional results for our patients, with a particular passion for teeth in a day procedures. Unlike other offices, we do not refer you to multiple providers or rely on outside labs, ensuring a streamlined and straightforward experience. Our doctor personally handles every step of the procedure, from surgery to the creation of your final teeth. With an in-house lab and skilled lab technician, we are able to offer transparent and affordable pricing. By consolidating all these services under one roof, we are able to deliver the highest quality service at the most competitive price.

At the moment, we do not administer anesthesia to induce sleep in patients. However, we do provide oral conscious sedation as an alternative. This medication aims to help you relax during your procedure and often results in a lack of memory of the event. To obtain this medication, we will write you a prescription which you can collect from your preferred pharmacy. It is important to note that for this procedure, you must arrange for a designated driver who can transport you after taking the oral sedation pill(s). It is strictly advised not to operate any motor vehicle or machinery following the consumption of this medication.

You can expect the significant bleeding to have ceased by the time you leave the clinic. However, it is normal to experience some slight bleeding (oozing) for 1-3 days following the procedure. Additionally, when we initially place your temporary teeth, you may notice an increase in saliva production. This may cause the saliva to mix with a small amount of blood, giving the appearance of more bleeding than there actually is. If you continue to experience heavy bleeding, please contact our office.

Contrary to popular belief, the need to replace teeth is not limited to the elderly. It is actually quite common for individuals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s to require tooth replacement. This procedure offers significant advantages for your overall physical well-being and can greatly enhance your emotional health by allowing you to confidently smile, laugh, and engage in conversations. It is important to note that the need for tooth replacement at a younger age is not unusual in any way.

Our final bridge is constructed from zirconia, which provides superior strength and durability compared to the traditional acrylic All-On-4 teeth offered by many other dental offices. It is crucial to consider the type of teeth you will receive if you decide to go with another office. If you choose acrylic denture teeth with a titanium bar, you should anticipate staining around your teeth and the need for replacement every 5-10 years. Moreover, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the expenses associated with the surgery, temporary teeth, and final teeth. Some offices may initially charge a fee for the surgery and temporary teeth, only for you to later discover that an additional $5,000-$15,000 is required for your final teeth.

The price for one arch (either upper or lower) is $19,900, and if you choose to get both arches, the total cost is $38,000. These prices include the removal of any remaining teeth, the placement of implants, temporary teeth that are fixed on the same day, and permanent zirconia teeth that are also fixed. Unlike other dental offices, we do not have separate charges for surgery, temporary teeth, or surprise you with unexpected costs for your final teeth. Our pricing is clear and there are no hidden fees.

The procedure stands out due to its unique feature - the ability to attach to your implants immediately. This is made possible by rigidly splinting all of your implants together using your new teeth, forming an implant bridge. By preventing any micro-movement of the implants, the risk of early failure is minimized. Essentially, the implants and bridge mutually support each other.

Moreover, your dental implants will be crafted from titanium, the same material utilized in artificial hip and knee joints. As a result, your jawbone will naturally grow and fuse with the implants over time, ensuring a secure attachment.

Despite being told they are not eligible for dental implants, numerous patients can actually benefit from the All-On-4 Teeth in a Day procedure. By using angled implants and the denser front part of the jaw bone, we can successfully perform this procedure for patients who previously thought it was impossible. This approach often eliminates the need for expensive grafting, which can cause significant treatment delays. We welcome you to schedule a free consultation to find out if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure.

Our doctor is a general dentist with a specialization in dental implantology and prosthetics. They have a strong passion for dental implantology and have placed a significantly higher number of dental implants compared to other general dentists and specialists. Additionally, they collaborate with other dental specialists when necessary to provide the best possible treatment for each patient's specific requirements.

Due to the large volume of procedures we handle and our focus on specific procedures, our practice offers unique advantages compared to other offices. We possess an in-house lab with a skilled lab technician, and a single dentist who oversees the entire procedure. This streamlined approach allows us to provide our patients with highly efficient services at the most competitive prices. In addition to our affordable rates, we also utilize top-notch implants and zirconia teeth, ensuring the highest quality for our patients.

In the event of a dental implant failing to integrate, we offer a free replacement. Additionally, we provide a 5-year warranty for the final bridge. To ensure the validity of this warranty, patients are required to visit us every 6 months for maintenance and hygiene of their bridges/implants. However, please note that the warranty does not cover patients who smoke, have uncontrolled diabetes, or develop other uncontrolled systemic conditions that may compromise their implants.

Typically, the surgery for one arch takes approximately 1 hour, while the lab work to create the teeth requires about 2 hours. If the procedure begins in the morning, patients with a single upper or lower arch are usually finished by lunchtime. However, if both top and bottom teeth need to be replaced, the process is usually completed between 2:30 and 3:30 in the afternoon. The majority of the time is spent waiting for the teeth to be made in our lab and ensuring they fit perfectly for a beautiful smile. Although it may be a long day, the end result will definitely be worth it!

Although this service is beneficial for many patients, it becomes challenging to address complications or broken teeth if you have traveled a significant distance, or even outside the country. Local dental offices are often unwilling to fix issues caused by out-of-town procedures. However, one major advantage of receiving a transitional set of fixed teeth on the day of your surgery is the opportunity to test them and determine your preferences. Additionally, for the final zirconia or nano-ceramic teeth, we can conduct try-ins to ensure they meet your desired appearance. While immediate access to your final teeth is advantageous, it is crucial to acknowledge the significant drawbacks associated with this approach.

Out of all the available options for full arch replacement, All-On-4 typically allows for the quickest return to work, usually within 4-7 days. However, it is important to note that there is a possibility of experiencing bruising and swelling, and it will take some time to adjust to eating and speaking with your new teeth. Therefore, if possible, it is recommended to take a longer period of time off for a smoother transition.

All-On-4 Procedure Timeline

The procedure typically lasts 4-6 hours, depending on whether you are treating a single arch (upper or lower) or both arches (full mouth). After leaving our office, your temporary bridge(s) will be securely attached to your new implants. These temporary bridges will be worn for 4 months to allow for integration of the implants with your bone and healing of your jaws and gums. This healing time ensures the best fit for your final bridges. Once the healing is complete, we will begin fabricating your final bridge(s). This process will involve a few appointments over a 5-6 week period, during which you will have the opportunity to design the smile you desire for your permanent teeth.

1

Mouth Impressions

The lab utilizes these materials to create your temporary implant bridge(s). In case you are missing a significant number of teeth in the arch that will be treated, the doctor might recommend a wax try-in. This involves creating a model of your temporary implant bridge using wax, which will be used to assess bite position, aesthetics, and other factors.

2

Procedure

The procedure involves removing any teeth if necessary, placing implants, and then placing temporary implant bridge(s). On average, the procedure usually lasts between 4 to 7 hours.

3

Post Op #1

After the procedure, please check the healing progress and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

4

Post Op #2

At the appointment 3 weeks after the procedure, the sutures will be removed and the healing will be checked. Typically, the patient will be cleared to start using a water flosser or WaterPik at this time.

6

Try In

Within 5-10 days of taking impressions, we will provide you with a mock-up of your final teeth. In certain cases, multiple wax try-ins may be required. It is crucial for us to ensure your satisfaction with the wax try-ins before proceeding with the final fabrication. Once the try-ins are processed, any modifications become unfeasible. Therefore, if you decide to make changes to your bridge(s) after approving and fabricating them, a full-cost remake charge will be applicable.

7

Seat Final Teeth

Once you give your approval for the wax try-in(s), it usually takes around 4-6 weeks for your bridge or bridges to be prepared for seating.
