All-on-4 Dental Implants

Are you missing most of your natural teeth? Do you want sturdy restorations but your jawbone isn't strong enough?

All-on-4® dental implants can give you the sturdiness of implant-supported restorations without the need for bone grafting.

Dentist Brian Bell in Lake Jackson, TX, can restore a full dental arch using only four implants for a functional, natural-looking smile.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

Similar to traditional dental implant-supported restorations, All-on-4 requires surgery to insert sturdy titanium rods into your jawbone where your restorations will eventually be fastened. Unlike traditional dental implants that insert a rod for every missing tooth or every few teeth, the All-on-4 method only requires four implants per full arch. So even if you are missing all of your upper or lower teeth, you will still only need four dental implants per jaw.

A ​Dramatically Shorter  Treatment Timeline

No Preparatory Procedures

Many patients with missing teeth are told that due to tissue loss in their jaw, they cannot qualify for traditional dental implants without a bone graft. With All-on-4, our dentist can place implants without the need for a graft.

Fewer Implant Posts

Implant-supported dentures typically require six to eight posts per full arch for sufficient stability. The revolutionary All-on-4 method uses only four implants placed at strategic angles for maximum support.

Quicker Results

Most All-on-4 patients can receive a lifelike temporary restoration at the same time their implants are placed. This immediate placement eliminates the need for a waiting period without teeth.

Suffering From Jawbone Atrophy? You Could Still Be a Candidate For All-on-4

Because of the unique techniques used with All-on-4 dental implants, many patients who've suffered bone loss can still receive treatment. The implants are placed at precise angles that optimize the existing bone volume, reducing the need for bone grafting.

Consultation

You and Dr. Bell will meet at our Lake Jackson, TX, office so he can discuss your goals and assess your oral and overall health. If he determines you are a good candidate for All-on-4 dental implants, you will schedule a time for surgery.

Preparation

We take a careful and advanced approach to planning your surgery. Dr. Bell uses 3D dental imaging, surgical guides, and computer-guided surgery to ensure your implants are placed in the most effective area to support your restoration. 

The Surgery

First, anesthesia will be given to you to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Next, your dental professional will make four small incisions where he will place your implants. These small yet durable titanium posts will be surgically placed into your jawbone to mimic natural tooth roots.

Temporary Restorations

A temporary restoration, made with our CEREC® machine, will be placed on your new implants while they fuse to the jawbone, so you'll have a full smile even while healing. Your dentist will give you recommendations on what to avoid while your implants are healing. 

Healing

During the healing process, your bone will fuse around the titanium implants (called osseointegration). Once healed, the implants will be securely anchored in the bone, allowing them to act as a sturdy base for your permanent restorations.

Permanent Restorations

At your next appointment, the temporary dentures will be removed and the permanent dentures attached to your implants. Your customized dentures will look just like your natural teeth, so you can leave our Lake Jackson office smiling with confidence.

Cost of All-on-4 Dental Implants

The cost of treatment greatly depends on the current state of your oral and physical health. While costs vary, the All-on-4 method can often be more cost-effective than traditional implant-supported dentures. Since dental implant surgery is considered cosmetic, it's not covered by insurance, but Bell Dental offers flexible financing options to all our patients to help get you the care you need within your budget. Call our office to learn more about our financing and set up your All-on-4 consultation.
