Full Mouth Dental Implants
If you need to restore a full arch, you may be a perfect candidate for an “All-on-Four” or Full arch treatment. Our Oral Surgeon will place four or five implants, then a premium prosthesis that is like a denture is attached to the implants. This allows superior function, no rocking or mobility and no need to cover the palate. Below are some benefits:
- Stability. All-on-Four dentures are attached to the implants so they do not wiggle, slip, or pop out unexpectedly.
- Cost-effective. All-on-Four costs less than individual dental implants to replace each missing tooth.
- Natural appearance. These are more “life-like” in appearance and function so people probably won’t realize you are wearing dentures.
- New Smile in a day. Our surgeon, dental lab, and restorative dentist work together so you can leave our office with fully
functioning teeth and a natural looking smile the same day. After the healing process you will come back to us and the restorative dentist will replace your temporary teeth with the permanent teeth designed especially for you.

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are an “artificial root” used to provide a foundation for replacing teeth that are missing. Overtime the implant will fuse to your jawbone forming a strong anchor for your new teeth. Modern dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
There are two types of dental implants used today, Titanium and Zirconia (ceramic).
Titanium Dental Implants
Titanium is a metal used because of its strength, lightweight and its ability to fuse to the bone. Statistically, they have a 98% success rate and can last for 30 years or more.
Zirconia Dental Implants
Zirconia is a metal-free “ceramic” material that is white in color like natural teeth. These implants offer exceptional aesthetic results with the same function and reliability of conventional, titanium implants. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or a set of full upper and/or lower teeth.
Dental implants typically have three parts:
1) The Implant: A screw, titanium or ceramic, that serves as a root for your new teeth. This is what fuses to your jawbone.
2) The Abutment: A connector that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth.
3) The Crown: This is your new tooth that is placed over the implant.
Accelerated Implants
We use Straumann’s hydrophilic SLActive® implants that accelerates osseointegration which reduces the healing period from 6-8 weeks down to 3-4 weeks for most indications. By reducing the healing time you can complete the implant process faster as compared to non-active implants.
Are Implants Right for You?
Dental implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. They improve your ability to eat, they improve facial and bone features, and are long-lasting. Many patients report that they have improved self-esteem and confidence after receiving their dental implants.
