All-on-4 Dental Implants

The doctor uses advanced planning and imaging tools like our CBCT scanner and digital impressions to design your new smile with unmatched precision. Our technology allows us to place implants accurately and fabricate your restoration efficiently. You can even relax in the chair with cozy pillows, music through your headphones, and water nearby while we work on transforming your smile.

One Solution, One Day, One Incredible Smile

All-on-4 offers an efficient and long-lasting solution to significant tooth loss without needing individual implants for each missing tooth. This treatment secures a full set of teeth using four titanium implants placed strategically, allowing many patients to avoid bone grafts and extended healing times.

Here’s why our patients love All-on-4:

It restores your full smile in one day
It looks and feels like real teeth
You avoid the instability of traditional dentures
It allows you to eat, speak, and laugh confidently
It prevents jawbone loss and preserves facial structure
It typically involves fewer implants and less surgery

We craft your new smile using CAD/CAM technology and CEREC to ensure every detail fits perfectly. We can customize your full arch prosthesis with in-house tools like our 3D printer with speed and precision.

How the All-on-4 Process Works

Step 1: The Dentist Starts with 3D Imaging and a Consultation
The dentist begins by reviewing your oral health and asking about your smile goals. Using our CBCT scanner and digital impressions, the dentist captures detailed images of your mouth to plan the procedure accurately.

Step 2: We Design Your Smile with Advanced Tech
The dentist uses CAD/CAM technology to design a full-arch restoration that fits your bite and face shape. During this step, you can sit back with headphones, a cozy blanket, and water as we prepare your custom treatment plan.

Step 3: The Dentist Places the Implants with Precision
The dentist places four implants per arch using a guided approach based on your 3D scans. To help you stay relaxed and comfortable, we offer nitrous oxide and supportive amenities throughout the visit.

Step 4: You Leave with a Temporary Smile That Works
Right after placing the implants, the dentist secures a temporary set of teeth so you can smile and function the same day. You walk out with a stable, great-looking smile while your mouth heals.

Step 5: You Heal While the Implants Integrate
Over the next few months, your implants naturally fuse with your jawbone to form a strong foundation. The dentist monitors your progress through digital X-rays and may offer same-day appointments if you need follow-up care.

Step 6: The Dentist Places Your Final Teeth
Once healing is complete, the dentist uses CEREC and our 3D printer to create your permanent prosthetic. The dentist then attaches your final teeth, giving you a full, confident smile built to last.

Throughout the process, we focus on your comfort. We offer nitrous oxide for relaxation and provide amenities like blankets, water, and same-day appointments when available.

The Smile Upgrade You Can Count On

While dentures sit on the gums and can slip or shift, All-on-4 implants anchor your smile securely to the jawbone. With All-on-4, you get a beautiful, functional result faster and with fewer complications. This stability lets you enjoy your favorite foods without fear and speak clearly without adjusting or removing your prosthetic.

Compare All-on-4 to Traditional Options:

All-on-4: Fixed in place, non-removable, preserves jawbone
Dentures: Removable, may require adhesive, can lead to bone loss
Full-mouth implants: More implants, more surgeries, higher cost

Who Makes a Good Candidate?

The dentist will evaluate your mouth thoroughly to ensure All-on-4 is the right solution. If you need extra prep, we can use digital impressions and panoramic X-rays to plan every detail ahead of time.

This treatment works well for patients who:

Have lost most or all of their teeth
Wear dentures and want a permanent option
Have enough bone density for implant support
Want faster results than traditional implants
Are generally in good oral and overall health

Life After All-on-4 Dental Implants in Tumwater

Once your implants heal and we place the final restoration, you can treat your new teeth like natural ones. Brush twice, floss daily, and visit us for routine cleanings and exams. You won’t need adhesives or overnight soaking. Just brush, rinse, smile, and repeat.

Many patients also complement their new smile with professional whitening for any remaining natural teeth. We offer Zoom! Whitening, take-home trays, and in-office options that brighten your overall look safely and effectively.
