All On 4 Made Easy and Stress Free

The All-On-4 procedure, also known as "Teeth in a Day," offers patients the opportunity to have their remaining teeth removed, implants placed, and a fully functional smile all in one day! This procedure not only enhances the appearance of patients' smiles but also rejuvenates their outlook on life. Many people struggle with severe tooth decay, deteriorating dental work, and broken teeth. For these individuals, the All-On-4, "Teeth in a Day" procedure is the ideal solution to achieve a new smile and address long-standing dental issues.

A More Predictable Approach

All-on-4 is not just about replacing teeth, it’s about restoring how your bite functions.

By placing implants in areas of stronger bone and angling the posterior implants, we can often avoid more invasive procedures while still achieving a stable, long-term result.

What to Expect

  • Day of Procedure: Teeth are removed (if needed), implants are placed, and a temporary fixed bridge is attached in many cases, allowing you to leave with teeth the same day.
  • Healing Phase: Over the next several months, the implants integrate with the bone to create a stable foundation.
  • Final Restoration: Once healing is complete, your custom-designed final bridge is placed, refined for both aesthetics and function.

Is All-on-4 Right for You?

This treatment is ideal for patients who:
  • are missing most or all of their teeth
  • are struggling with dentures
  • want a fixed, more stable solution
A comprehensive evaluation, including 3D imaging, allows us to determine the best approach for your specific needs.

Designed for Long-Term Success

Every case is carefully planned to ensure stability, comfort, and a natural result that lasts.
  • Faster Treatment & Recovery: Unlike traditional implants, all-on-4 lets you walk out with a temporary denture on the same day of surgery. This eliminates the need for multiple procedures and allows for a quicker return to normalcy.
  • Reduced Need for Bone Grafting: The strategic placement of the implants often eliminates the need for bone grafting, a procedure that can add time and cost to traditional implant treatment.
  • Enhanced Stability & Comfort: All-on-4 implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, providing a secure foundation for your new teeth. This eliminates the slipping and discomfort associated with traditional dentures.
  • Improved Oral Function: With a stable, implant-supported denture, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods and experience a significant improvement in your ability to speak and chew.

All-On-4 Procedure

The procedure typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on whether you are treating one arch (upper or lower) or both arches (full mouth). After leaving our office, your temporary bridge(s) will be securely attached to your new implants. You will wear these temporary bridges for 4 months to allow for the implants to integrate with your bone and for your jaws and gums to heal. This healing time ensures the best fit for your final bridges. Once the healing is complete, we will start making your final bridge(s). This process will involve a few appointments over a 5-6 week period, during which you can design the smile you want for your permanent teeth.

CONSULT

This is the first step in the full arch process. During this appointment, you will meet with your Dr. Kurt O. Bally DMD FICOI to discuss your needs and options for dental implants. The consultation will typically take about an hour. This first and free visit is $525 value.

RECORDS

Your dentist will take a series of records, including dental x-rays, 3D scans, and photographs. These records will be used to create a treatment plan and to fabricate your dental implants.

PRE-SURGICAL CONSULT

This appointment is held before the surgery to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the recovery process. You will also have a chance to ask any questions you may have.

SURGERY

This is the procedure where the implants are placed into your jawbone. The surgery typically takes about 2 hours per jaw and is done safely with oral anesthesia. All patients leave with their new temporary teeth on the day of the surgery and will return within 1-2 weeks to have their first post-op visit and receive their fist implant prototype teeth. It is important to remain on a very soft diet after surgery and before receiving your first prototype.

PROTOTYPES

1-2 weeks after your surgery you will return to check your healing and receive your first set of implant prototype teeth that will be attached directly to your implants. We allow up to 3 versions of teeth during the healing process to ensure the dentist and patient is happy with the look and feel. As your implants heal your dentist will create a series of prototypes for your implant bridge. These prototypes will be used to test the fit and function of the bridge before it is permanently placed.

STEP 6

HEALING

The implants will need to heal for 4-6 months before the next step can be taken. Dr. Bally will also provide a night guard to help prevent excess pressure from going to your implants. As you heal you will remain on a soft diet.

PROTOTYPING AND VERIFICATION

Once the implants have healed, your dentist will create a final prototype of your dental bridge. This prototype will be verified to ensure that it is the correct size, shape, and color. Before authorizing the fabrication of your new zirconia implant smile.

DELIVERY

This is the appointment where your permanent dental bridge is placed. The procedure typically takes about 1 hour. It's a truly rewarding visit for everyone.

POST-DELIVERY CONSULT AND DOCUMENTATION

This appointment is held after your new zirconia implant smile is installed and your final night guard is given and instructions to maintain your smile are discussed. Final pictures, X-rays and video mark the end of your zirconia implant smile journey.

STEP 10

MAINTENANCE

Your zirconia implant smile will need to be maintained on a regular basis to ensure that it continues to function properly. This may include cleaning, adjustments, and checkups.

Mouth Impressions

The lab uses these materials to make your temporary implant bridge(s). If you have many missing teeth in the treated area, the doctor may suggest a wax try-in. This includes making a wax model of your temporary implant bridge to evaluate bite position, appearance, and other aspects.

Procedure

The process includes extracting any teeth if needed, inserting implants, and then placing temporary implant bridge(s). Typically, the procedure takes around 4 to 7 hours on average.

Post Op #1

Please ensure to monitor the healing progress after the procedure and don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.

Post Op #2

During the appointment scheduled 3 weeks after the procedure, the sutures will be taken out and the progress of healing will be assessed. Generally, at this point, the patient will receive approval to begin using a water flosser or WaterPik.

Impressions For Final Teeth

After 4 months of the procedure

Try In

After taking impressions, we will present you with a mock-up of your final teeth within 5-10 days. In some situations, multiple wax try-ins may be necessary. It is important for us to guarantee your satisfaction with the wax try-ins before moving forward with the final creation. Once the try-ins are completed, making any modifications becomes impractical. Hence, if you choose to alter your bridge(s) after approving and fabricating them, a full-cost remake charge will be applied.

Seat Final Teeth

Once you have approved the wax try-in(s), it typically takes approximately 4-6 weeks to prepare your bridge or bridges for seating.
