All on 4

“Dentures in a Day” or the “All on 4” technique. What is it? Now there is a way to stabilize dentures and you can receive the benefits right away.

If you are one of the many who, in years past inquired about implants and decided against treatment, there have been some new developments.

One is that many who may have not been considered candidates for implants, with new technology and types of implants available, may actually now benefit from the surgery to place titanium in the jaw bone to stabilize a denture or to replace a tooth.

Another challenge many faced was the expense, which has come down considerably over the years so now it’s more affordable than ever.

“Finally, with advanced techniques, it is now possible to not only create stability for your denture, but to do the treatment in a day,” says Dr. Denine Rice from her Riverside Periodontal Practice. As one of the Inland Empire’s Top Dentists, Dr. Rice understands how difficult it is for patients to lose their dentition. “It can become very emotional. Our smile is what people notice first about us,” she adds. “That’s why I’m so pleased that the All on 4, Teeth in a Day concept is available to my patients.”

While the process takes a bit more than a day, impressions are taken and lab created dentures are created, the surgery itself to place the implants and then the placing of the denture on the implants all occurs in one day.

“It is such a wonderful treatment option for patients,” Dr. Rice says. “Call us today and learn more about how your periodontist and your general dentist can work together to achieve the smile you deserve!”
