What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

So the All-on-4 is a option for replacing teeth when you’ve lost all your teeth. All-on-4 usually means that you have about four, maybe six implants in your jaw placed after you’ve lost your teeth. And a bridge is attached to those four to six implants.

When you’ve lost all your teeth, you have the option of a full denture. If you’ve ever had a full denture, you know it’s not going to be quite as comfortable as your natural teeth. You have use a lot of glue to help keep it in.

When you’re eating or chewing on it, it can kind of pop out on you, which can be kind of embarrassing when you’re out at a party or a wedding or anything. The All-on-4 eliminates that. The teeth are screwed in. They’re tied in. They don’t come out. They’re permanent, and the closest thing to natural teeth and the natural chewing function that you can get.

How long does Invisalign take?

Most cases that we do usually take about six months to a year. There are cases that can take longer. Usually that first visit, that’s what we kind of look at.

We usually take some records, some photos. And based on those records that we’ve got, that’ll let us come to a plan. And based on that plan, that’ll tell us how long we expect the Invisalign treatment to last.

Usually, we’ll be able to take care of most cases within that six months to a year time. Some of the more complicated cases, yes, can take a little longer.

It could be up to a year and a half to two years. But most minor corrections, we can get that done in about six months to a year.
