Say goodbye to removable dentures – get a permanent, beautiful smile with just four implants in a single day, minutes from Sandy Springs.
All-on-4 is an advanced dental implant approach that supports an entire arch of replacement teeth using just four precisely positioned implants. Unlike traditional methods requiring 6-8 implants or removable dentures, this technique provides permanent, fixed teeth with fewer implants and typically without bone grafting. The key innovation involves angling the posterior implants to maximize contact with available bone, allowing immediate function with a fixed provisional restoration on the same day as implant placement.
Your All-on-4 journey begins with thorough diagnostics and personalized treatment planning. For Sandy Springs patients considering this transformative procedure, we conduct extensive evaluation using state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology that provides detailed visualization of your bone structure and anatomy. This precision imaging allows our team to identify the optimal implant positions that maximize available bone while avoiding anatomical structures. During this planning phase, we discuss your expectations, address questions about the procedure, and determine whether All-on-4 is your ideal solution. For patients with severe bone loss who previously thought implants weren’t possible, this specialized technique often provides a viable alternative to traditional approaches.
Experience the life-changing moment of receiving fixed teeth immediately after implant placement. For Sandy Springs patients tired of removable dentures or facing full-mouth extractions, this same-day approach eliminates the traditional months-long wait for permanent teeth. Following any necessary extractions, four specialized implants are strategically positioned according to your digital treatment plan. Before you leave our office, we secure a custom-designed, fixed provisional restoration to these implants, allowing you to immediately enjoy improved appearance and function. While not your final restoration, this fixed temporary prosthetic provides a strong, natural-looking smile during your healing period, dramatically different from conventional removable immediate dentures.
After a healing period of 3-6 months, we replace your provisional with a meticulously crafted final restoration. For Sandy Springs patients, this transition represents the completion of your smile transformation with a durable, aesthetic prosthetic designed for decades of function. Your final All-on-4 restoration features high-quality materials selected for optimal strength, natural appearance, and long-term performance. Options include zirconia for maximum durability or acrylic with porcelain teeth depending on your specific needs and preferences. The prosthetic design incorporates precise bite relationships, phonetic considerations, and aesthetic elements that mimic natural teeth, providing both functional excellence and beautiful aesthetics for your permanent smile.
Maintain your All-on-4 investment with our specialized hygiene and monitoring protocol. For Sandy Springs patients with All-on-4 restorations, we provide detailed guidance on daily home care techniques specifically adapted for fixed full-arch implant prosthetics. Our maintenance program includes regular professional evaluations using specialized instruments designed for implant restorations that won’t damage your prosthetic or implant components. During these visits, we thoroughly clean areas not accessible with home care tools, examine implant integration, assess prosthetic components for wear, and make adjustments if needed. This proactive maintenance approach helps ensure the longevity of your All-on-4 restoration while maintaining optimal oral health.
At Brightworks Dentistry, Sandy Springs patients considering All-on-4 treatment receive attentive care from our dedicated team. Dr. Patrice Robbins and Dr. Preston Shurley take time to thoroughly explain this life-changing procedure, addressing concerns and setting realistic expectations for your treatment journey. Our friendly team, including Deborah and Grace, provides comprehensive support throughout the process, from initial consultation through long-term maintenance.
We understand that choosing full-arch restoration is a significant decision, which is why we create a comfortable, supportive environment where your questions are welcomed and your comfort remains our priority. Many patients describe their All-on-4 treatment as transformative not just for their oral health, but for their overall confidence and quality of life.
Your All-on-4 journey begins with a comprehensive consultation that includes detailed imaging, oral examination, and discussion of your goals and concerns. Based on this evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan addressing your specific needs and presenting clear information about what to expect throughout the process.
On your surgical day, we ensure your complete comfort through appropriate anesthesia options before proceeding with any necessary extractions and precise implant placement according to your digital treatment plan. The same day, we secure your provisional fixed restoration, allowing you to leave with a functional, natural-looking smile.
After a healing period of 3-6 months, during which you’ll return for periodic evaluations, we transition to your final restoration. This process involves detailed impressions and try-in appointments to ensure optimal aesthetics, comfort, and function. Your final prosthetic is securely attached to your fully integrated implants, completing your smile transformation.
Following completion, we establish a regular maintenance schedule and provide comprehensive instructions for home care to ensure the long-term success of your All-on-4 restoration.
Unlike traditional implant approaches that often require months without fixed teeth, All-on-4 provides immediate provisional restoration on the same day as implant placement. For Sandy Springs patients, this means walking out with fixed, functional teeth rather than wearing removable transitional dentures during healing. This immediate restoration dramatically improves appearance, speech, and basic function from day one, significantly enhancing quality of life during the healing phase. While some dietary modifications are necessary during initial healing, you’ll immediately enjoy the confidence of fixed teeth and natural appearance, eliminating the social anxiety often associated with missing teeth or unstable dentures.
The strategic implant placement in the All-on-4 technique actively preserves jawbone that would otherwise deteriorate after tooth loss. For Sandy Springs patients concerned about facial aging associated with bone loss, this preservation maintains facial structure and prevents the collapsed appearance often seen with long-term denture use. The implant-to-bone connection provides the stimulation necessary to maintain bone volume and density, supporting facial muscles and skin for a more youthful appearance. This ongoing bone preservation represents a significant advantage over removable prosthetics, which actually accelerate bone loss over time.
By using just four strategically positioned implants to support a full arch of teeth, the All-on-4 technique reduces the overall cost compared to traditional approaches requiring 6-8 implants. For Sandy Springs patients seeking the benefits of fixed implant restorations within budget constraints, this efficiency makes full-arch restoration more accessible. The angled placement of posterior implants typically eliminates the need for bone grafting procedures in most patients, further reducing costs and treatment time. While still representing a significant investment, All-on-4 offers exceptional value when considering lifetime cost comparison with ongoing denture maintenance, replacements, and quality of life impact.
Your All-on-4 restoration is permanently fixed, eliminating the daily removal and cleaning required with conventional dentures. For Sandy Springs patients, this means caring for your new teeth more like natural teeth, with routine brushing and specialized flossing tools designed for fixed prosthetics. The fixed nature eliminates concerns about denture slippage or food particles becoming trapped underneath removable appliances. Regular professional maintenance ensures the longevity of your restoration, but the daily care routine is straightforward and comfortable compared to traditional removable options. This simplified maintenance represents a significant quality of life improvement for patients previously struggling with denture care.
The revolutionary All-on-4 approach has changed what’s possible in full-arch restoration. At Brightworks Dentistry, we’ve helped numerous Sandy Springs area patients leave behind the limitations of missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures through this innovative technique. Our comprehensive approach combines surgical expertise with prosthetic precision to deliver results that not only look completely natural but function like healthy teeth.
