All on 4 ™ Dental Implants in Mt. Kisco, NY

All-on-4 implants, also commonly known as “Teeth in a Day”, are full-mouth dental implants that use just four implants in the upper or lower jaw to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This innovative approach to dental implants enables many individuals to replace missing teeth with full-mouth implants without requiring bone grafting to support their dental restorations.

What are All-on-4® Implants?

All-on-4 implants support a full arch of replacement teeth in the upper or lower jaw on just four implants. The implants are strategically placed in the jawbone to capitalize on the areas of greatest bone density. They are angled to provide maximum support and stability for the full arch of replacement teeth. At South Bedford Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we routinely place full mouth dental implants in Mt. Kisco using the All-on-4 approach to restore our patients’ oral health with minimal trauma to their jawbone and gums.

Why Choose an Oral Surgeon for All-On-4 Implants?

Placing All-on-4 implants requires extreme precision and an exceptional understanding of the jaw’s anatomy. Oral surgeons have several years of additional training, focusing on surgery and the anatomy of the face, teeth, and jaw, which enables them to locate the optimal placement for each implant and position it at the precise angle to take advantage of each patient’s jawbone density and strength.

Are You a Candidate for All-on-4®?

Healthy individuals who are missing all or most of their teeth may be candidates for All-On-4 if:

• All of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing or will be extracted.
• There is not enough bone to support multiple implants without bone grafting; however, there is enough to support four implants using guided surgery.
• They want to replace dentures with a permanent solution.
• They are looking for a single-surgery option for dental implants.
• They do not have any blood-clotting issues, immune disorders, or uncontrolled diabetes.
• They are committed to proper oral hygiene.

The All-on-4 Process: What to Expect

The first step in the All-on-4 process is removing any remaining teeth. After carefully analyzing your jawbone and taking 3D images, your oral surgeon will determine the best location of each of the four implants based on your anatomy. Some implants, typically located in the back of the mouth, are placed at an angle to utilize the strongest area of the jawbone and provide stable support for the restorations. Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implants will fuse with the surrounding bone. During this time, you will wear a temporary denture so that you do not have to go without teeth.

When healing is complete, your dentist or prosthodontist will design and create a full arch of replacement teeth based on a digital impression of your mouth. Once your permanent restoration is completed, the temporary denture is removed, and your final restoration is attached to the implants. You will have a beautiful, permanent set of full mouth dental implants that can last a lifetime.

Why Choose South Bedford Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery for All-On-4?

We often work with patients who have been turned down for full-arch dental implants in Mt. Kisco in the past because they did not have sufficient jawbone to support implants. Their only alternative may have been a lengthy bone grafting process, adding months to their treatment timeline. Other patients do not want to undergo an additional procedure, preferring the All-on-4 option, which minimizes surgery and recovery times. At South Bedford Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, every oral surgeon who performs All-on-4 has received advanced training in the procedure and has achieved great success with it for years.
