Teeth in a day? What is All-On-4?

No More Dentures. Get A Set of Fixed Teeth in One Appointment.
Smiles for a Lifetime. Replace missing teeth with dental implants and fixed bridges. An extraordinary procedure has been developed that permits the placement of 4 dental implants and a fixed bridge in as little as one appointment. In its most extraordinary application an entire mouthful of teeth may be replaced with implants and non-removable set of new teeth in as little as an hour. In most cases there is no bone grafting, no sinus grafting or lift, no incision or suture placement and no healing time required. This procedure is call "Teeth in a Day". The same technique may be used for the replacement of a single missing tooth.
TEETH IN ONE DAY can change your life. Patients who benefit most from this revolutionary and highly sophisticated system are those toothless with dentures or with teeth so compromised, they have no option but to pull all their teeth and then select from several less-than-desirable scenarios:
Removable dentures, which everybody hates aesthetically, along with greatly reduced chewing function - only 10-20 percent of what is normal.
Getting numerous implants on each arch and a fixed bridge; very costly and requires numerous appointments, months of healing and sometimes bone and sinus grafting.
Have a denture connected to two or four implants with attachments, for more stability and restoration. Less expensive, but still not an ideal choice, since it isn’t fixed and patients have to snap the dentures in and out for hygiene. Studies show that patients with dentures connected to implants recover only 50-60 percent of their chewing function, better than that of dentures alone, but still greatly impaired.
Finally, there is a better alternative to those we’ve had in the past. A new technique gives patients 90 percent of their chewing ability back in a single appointment, with less pain and at a much lower cost. This revolutionary technique is called TEETH IN ONE DAY or All-On-Four

This amazing advancement in dental care is now possible thanks to the evolution of science and computer-aided surgical techniques. With CT scanning fully recreating a three-dimensional surgical site and the help of Nobel Biocare’s CAD/CAM surgical guide, the lives of toothless patients can be transformed in a single visit. This highly sophisticated software allows us to fabricate a precise computerized surgical guide, and, because we know exactly where the four implants are being placed, model and create the fixed bridge in advance. There is absolutely no bone grafting, no sinus grafting or lift, no incision or suture placement and no healing time required. This technique has revolutionized the field of dentistry, being the least invasive and most cost effective protocol available for patients with dentures or severely compromised teeth.
Last but not least are aesthetics, my specialty and passion, an area where I refuse to compromise. By working with a master lab technician and a dental laboratory that uses the most cutting-edge materials, tools and techniques, you will get what I demand for all my patients - a beautiful, healthy smile you can flash with pride and confidence.
