Missing teeth can affect more than your smile. They can impact the way you speak, the foods you eat, and your confidence in everyday interactions. At Valley Dental & Orthodontics in Clovis, we offer All-on-4 dental implants as a life-changing solution for patients who need to replace most or all of their teeth with something more stable and long-lasting than dentures.
If you’ve been searching for a secure, permanent way to restore your smile, this might be the solution you’ve been looking for.
What Are All-on-4 Implants?
All-on-4 is an advanced implant technique that uses just four dental implants to support a full arch of teeth. These implants are placed at specific angles to provide strong support and stability. Once healed, they serve as the foundation for a full set of custom-designed prosthetic teeth that look and function like natural teeth.
Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and can slip or shift, All-on-4 implants are fixed in place. This means greater comfort, improved chewing ability, and no need for adhesives.
Why Choose All-on-4?
Patients love All-on-4 because it offers:
- Fewer implants: Only four implants are needed per arch, which can reduce surgical time.
- Immediate results: In many cases, patients leave the office with a temporary set of teeth on the same day.
- No bone grafting: The angled placement often eliminates the need for grafts, even in cases of bone loss.
- Secure fitYour new smile won’t move or shift like traditional dentures.
- Long-term success: With proper care, implants can last for decades.
It’s a reliable, durable, and natural-looking solution for patients with advanced tooth loss.
What to Expect During the Process
Every smile is unique, but the general All-on-4 process includes:
- 1. Consultation and imaging We use 3D digital scans to assess your jawbone and plan your treatment precisely.
- 2. Implant placement Four implants are surgically placed in the jaw. We offer sedation options for your comfort.
- 3. Temporary teeth A custom set of temporary teeth is placed so you leave the office with a full smile.
- 4. Healing phase Over the next few months, your implants integrate with your bone.
- 5. Final restoration Once healed, your permanent prosthetic is placed and adjusted for the perfect fit.
Throughout the process, we’re here to guide you and answer your questions every step of the way.
Is All-on-4 Right for You?
This treatment is ideal for adults who have lost most or all of their teeth, or who are tired of dealing with loose-fitting dentures. You’ll need to be in generally good health and have enough jawbone to support the implants. If you’re not sure, we’ll evaluate your case during your consultation and recommend the best plan for your needs.
