Experiencing a Dental Emergency in Monument, CO?
What Are All-on-4® Dental Implants?
Living with a full arch of missing or failing teeth affects more than appearance. Eating becomes a chore, speaking feels uncertain, and traditional Dentures can slip at the worst moments. All-on-4® Dental Implants solve this by anchoring a complete set of fixed teeth to just four strategically placed titanium posts in your jawbone. Two posts go in straight at the front, and two are angled toward the back to grip areas where bone is naturally thicker.
That angled placement is what sets the technique apart. Many patients who have been told they lack enough bone for conventional implants still qualify for All-on-4® Dental Implants without needing bone grafts first. Your dentist at Advanced Dental & Implant Center can often place all four posts and attach a temporary arch in a single visit, so you walk out the same day with a stable, functional smile.
Benefits of All-on-4® Dental Implants
All-on-4® Dental Implants replace an entire arch of teeth in a single procedure, giving you a fixed set of teeth that look and work like the ones you were born with.
Severe toothache
A sudden toothache can make it hard to eat, sleep, or focus. It’s often caused by decay, infection, or gum irritation. We find what’s causing the pain and treat it quickly to help you feel comfortable again.
Knocked-out tooth
If your tooth gets knocked out, time is critical. Keeping it moist and getting to our office right away can help save it. Our team acts fast to reattach your tooth and protect your smile from long-term damage.
Broken & cracked tooth
A broken tooth can be painful and sensitive to temperature. If left untreated, it can lead to infection or further damage. We repair the tooth using strong materials that restore comfort and natural function.
Lost fillings or crowns
When a filling or crown comes loose, the tooth underneath is left unprotected and sensitive. We’ll clean the area and replace your restoration to seal and strengthen the tooth, keeping your smile pain-free.
Dental abscesses
A dental abscess is a serious infection that causes swelling and throbbing pain. It needs prompt care. We drain the infection, clean the area, and treat the cause to prevent it from spreading to other parts of your mouth.
Soft tissue injuries
Cuts or injuries to your gums, tongue, or lips can bleed and feel sore. We gently clean and treat the wound, stop the bleeding, and make sure there’s no hidden damage so you can heal comfortably and quickly.
Eat Real Food the Same Day
Most patients leave with a temporary set of teeth placed during one surgery visit. Within a few months, your permanent arch locks in and you can bite into apples, steak, and corn on the cob again.
Skip the Bone Graft for Most
The two rear implants angle into existing bone at the back of the jaw. That approach often removes the need for a separate bone grafting step, which means fewer procedures and a shorter timeline.
Teeth That Stay Put, Period
Unlike removable Dentures, an All-on-4® arch screws directly into the implants and never shifts. You brush them right in your mouth like natural teeth. No adhesives, no soaking trays needed.
Is This the Right Fit for You?
If you have been wearing Dentures for years and still struggle with slipping, sore spots, or foods you have to avoid, All-on-4® Dental Implants may be the solution you have been looking for. This approach also works well for adults facing multiple Tooth Extractions due to decay, fractures, or advanced Gum Disease that has loosened teeth beyond saving.
One concern patients in Monument, CO often raise is whether they have enough jawbone left for implants. The All-on-4® technique angles the rear implants to grip denser bone near the back of the jaw, so many people who were told they are not candidates for traditional implants still qualify. Your dentist at Advanced Dental & Implant Center will take a 3D scan to confirm bone volume and map out exact implant placement before anything begins.
Advanced All-on-4® Dental Implants Technology
Planning an All-on-4® case starts with a cone beam CT scan, which captures a full 3D map of your jaw in about 15 seconds. That scan shows bone density, nerve locations, and sinus boundaries down to a tenth of a millimeter. Your dentist uses this data to plan exact implant angles and depths in specialized software before any surgery begins, which means fewer surprises and a shorter time in the chair.
The prosthetic arch itself has changed significantly in recent years. Older versions relied on acrylic over a metal bar, but current options at Advanced Dental & Implant Center include zirconia, a material roughly five times stronger than acrylic that resists staining and wears more like natural enamel. Sedation Dentistry is also available during placement, keeping you relaxed and comfortable through the entire procedure.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your appointment starts with a detailed scan of your jaw, which the team uses to plan exact implant placement. On surgery day, your dentist numbs everything thoroughly and may offer Sedation Dentistry so you stay calm and comfortable the entire time. Four titanium implants go into the jawbone at precise angles, and a temporary set of teeth is attached before you leave.
Most patients manage any soreness with over-the-counter pain relief for the first few days. Soft foods are the routine for a few weeks while the implants fuse with bone. Over the next several months, that bond strengthens, and your dentist monitors progress at follow-up visits before placing your permanent teeth.
Before Appointment
Arrange a ride home before your appointment, since sedation is typically part of the All-on-4® implant procedure.
Eat a soft, filling meal about two hours beforehand so you're comfortable during what can be a longer surgical visit.
Bring a list of every medication you take, including blood thinners, since these can affect implant placement and healing.
After Appointment
Stick to cool liquids and blended foods for the first 48 hours, then transition to soft foods like mashed potatoes for two to three weeks.
Rinse gently with the prescribed antimicrobial mouthwash starting the day after surgery. Avoid swishing hard around the implant sites.
Skip brushing directly over the surgical areas for the first week. Use a soft-bristle brush on your other teeth and tongue only.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve answered the most frequently asked questions to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident before your appointment.
How long do All-on-4® Dental Implants typically last?
Most patients keep their All-on-4® Dental Implants for 20 years or longer. The titanium posts can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene, while the prosthetic arch may need replacement after 15 to 20 years due to normal wear.
Can I eat steak and crunchy foods with All-on-4® Dental Implants?
Yes. Once fully healed, you can bite into apples, chew steak, and eat raw vegetables without worry. The four implants anchor the arch firmly to your jawbone, so it functions much closer to natural teeth than traditional Dentures.
Am I too old to get All-on-4® Dental Implants?
Age alone is rarely a disqualifier. Patients in their 70s and 80s receive this treatment regularly. Your dentist evaluates overall health, bone density, and any medications you take to confirm you are a good candidate.
How often do I need checkups after getting All-on-4® Dental Implants?
Plan on visits every six months for the first two years, then at least once a year after that. Your dentist checks the implants, cleans areas you cannot reach at home, and looks for any signs of wear on the prosthetic.
Do All-on-4® Dental Implants prevent jawbone loss?
They do. The titanium posts stimulate your jawbone the way natural tooth roots do, which slows the bone shrinkage that typically follows Tooth Extractions. Most patients see stable bone levels for years after placement.
