All-on-4 or 6 Dental Implants

A minimally invasive solution with a fixed full-arch restoration for high patient satisfaction.

We are proud to offer the widely popular “All-on-4 or 6” treatment. This procedure is an excellent choice for those patients replacing any front teeth and those who need to have several implants placed simultaneously for an extensive restoration.

Video 01:41 | Demonstration of the life changing All-on-4 dental implant treatment concept.

The procedure is quite straightforward. Our oral surgeon pulls out the tooth and immediately replaces it with an implant—all in the same surgery. Then, we attach a temporary bridge in the same session.

Once the implant is correctly integrated into the bone (approximately after six months), the patient books a new appointment with a general dentist to have the final restoration placed. In this session, your general dentist will fit a permanent bridge, which is typically made of zircon. This material is strong and durable and has excellent esthetic results.

This method has a significant advantage: it tends to be shorter than traditional implant placing treatments. Usually, the dentist first extracts the tooth and then needs to wait a few months before performing a new surgery to place the implants. Then, after this second surgery, the patient needs to wait for another three – six months before having the final restoration fitted. This “biological time” needs to be respected for successful treatment. On the other hand, with “All-on-4 or 6”, the patients save precious time skipping those months between the first and second surgeries.

In addition to this, with “All-on-4 or 6,” patients won’t have to deal with provisional bridges. Many of you might have gone through this. No matter how good this provisional seems to be, the chances are that it will need a few visits to the office until it fits perfectly.

How To Care For All-on-4

We strongly advise our patients to regularly visit their general dentist’s office to have their implants checked and cleaned. They will remove the fixed restoration (bridge or crowns) and clean the implants’ abutments. Once the deep cleaning is ready, your dentist will check the implants. If everything is ok, they will screw the bridge or crowns back into the implants.

Are You a Candidate for All-on-4 or 6?

Patients with edentulism (toothlessness) are often eligible for the All-on-4 or 6 treatment concept. A thorough evaluation of any patient is necessary in order to choose the right treatment and to establish a predictable treatment outcome.

Zygomatic Implants

Zygomatic implants (attached to the cheekbone) are often a choice for patients who aren’t candidates for traditional dental implants due to severely resorbed edentulous maxilla (lack of bone mass in the upper arch).

Teeth in an Hour™

Teeth-in-an-Hour is an innovative implant placement method that significantly shortens the time between placing implants and attaching the finished restoration. Not only does this process reduce the time frame for replacing teeth, but it ensures patients have a fully functional smile. At Lorton Springfield Dental Implant & Oral Surgery, we are committed to delivering a tooth replacement process that is simple and stress-free.

What is Teeth-in-an-Hour?

Although implant placement and tooth restoration occur over a very short time period, the preparation for teeth-in-an-hour takes a few weeks. Before we begin the process, we must first determine if this method is the best solution for your situation. Because prosthetics are fabricated before the placement procedure, they may need minor adjustment to guarantee a secure fit. This treatment option is available to anyone with missing teeth, whether you are an adult or senior. You can upgrade your current set of dentures to be permanently placed on implants as well.

Video 00:49 | Our patients have discovered the secret to feeling great again with new teeth.

We use an on-site CBCT scanner to create a virtual model of your smile, allowing us to develop a 3-D diagram of dental structures. We utilize these detailed images to develop surgical guides that show precisely where implants need to be placed. This ensures accuracy and safety during the surgical procedure. Once the titanium implants have been placed, the permanent replacement teeth are attached. Provided each step goes as planned, the whole process can take less than an hour.

See pricing for implants above

Am I a Good Candidate for Teeth-in-an-Hour?

Good candidates for teeth-in-an-hour have a strong and healthy jawbone that will support implants and heal properly. If you have been missing teeth for any length of time, and have not had implants placed, there is a chance that your jawbone will have shrunk to the point where teeth-in-an-hour isn’t an ideal solution unless bone grafting is performed. At Lorton Springfield Dental Implant & Oral Surgery, we have an array of services that can restore your bone and soft tissue to optimal health, which will allow you to receive our innovative dental implant treatments.

Restore your Smile with Implant Retained Dentures (Hybrid Dentures)

For patients missing multiple teeth in an arch, finding an appropriate replacement can be difficult. At Lorton-Springfield Dental Implants and Oral Surgery, we provide hybrid dental implants that allow patients to enjoy the best of both dentures and dental implant restorations.

Video 01:33 | Video describing the hybrid implant denture, which is a non-removable solution to replacing teeth in an entire jaw.

Hybrid Dental Implants: A Smart Solution for Tooth Replacement

Missing multiple teeth in an arch does more than impact aesthetics. Healthy teeth roots stimulate the jaw bone, stabilizing the foundation needed to keep teeth secure in the smile. When teeth are extracted or go missing, the bone slowly deteriorates through a process known as resorption.

If left untreated, jaw resorption can cause:

Changes in dental alignment
Compromised bite strength
Facial sagging
Loosening teeth and additional tooth loss
See pricing for Hybrid Implants for Dentures above

Who is a Candidate for Hybrid Dental Implants?

As treatment calls for the placement of traditional dental implants, patients are carefully evaluated to determine if they are candidates for hybrid dentures. Our goal is to conserve as much of your natural smile as possible. Our Lorton oral surgeon recommends hybrid dental implants for patients who are missing most if not all the teeth in an arch. Patients who have previously used dentures but are otherwise in good health are also excellent candidates for hybrid implant dentistry.

Video 00:47 | “Now I can Eat Anything”! Patient testimonial about implant supported dentures from Dr. Patel.

Click Open For More About Hybrid Implants

Traditional dentures offer a full and affordable solution, but the long-term impact of dentures on the gums and jaw can cause significant oral health issues in the future. While dental implants certainly provide a more forward-thinking restoration, the cost of replacing multiple teeth with singular implants may not be possible for every smile.

As a combination treatment, hybrid dental implants offer the stability and health benefits of dental implants with the coverage and ease of dentures, creating the ideal teeth replacement solution. With this treatment, minimal implant posts are strategically placed throughout the arch to support your denture.

Once placed, patients are fit for their new full-arch teeth replacement. The restoration used with hybrid dental implants does not consist of unnecessary or bulky plastic, leaving the palate clear, compared to traditional dentures. By the end of treatment, patients are able to enjoy a fully restored, natural looking smile.

With hybrid dental implants, patients can enjoy a long lasting tooth replacement that contributes to the longevity of their smile.

Snap-In Dentures (Locator Overdentures)

Snap-in dentures are a fantastic option for patients with multiple teeth loss. Like full dentures, they replace the entire dental arch, but the significant difference lies in the retention provided by implants.

The implants that have been previously placed along the arch are connected to the denture through special components. Instead of housing crowns or bridges, the implants have little accessories (“abutments”), whose shape is then reproduced in the acrylic of the denture and achieving a perfect fit between both elements.

Snap-In dentures have many advantages. They are considered to be:

  • comfortable: the retention provided by implants is solely incomparable. Better retention equals more functionality, so patients can chew, talk, and whistle without even noticing they are wearing a full denture.
  • hygienic: as they are removable, they can be easily cleaned overnight like regular dentures. This also allows a proper hygiene of the implants and the oral tissues, reducing the risk of gums disease and infections.
  • low maintenance: a yearly visit to the dental office is enough to make sure that the denture is fitting properly.
  • affordable: it represents a more economical alternative to a full-arch restoration with individual implants and their respective crowns or bridges.

This implant-retained solution requires patients to come into their general dentist’s office for a reline appointment approximately once a year to ensure proper fit and function.

Enjoy your favorite foods!

No matter what you are craving for, with your dental implants, there’s nothing to worry about. No more loose dentures or falling-off restorations: their effective osseointegration allows you to enjoy anything from sticky caramels to sweet apples!

Are dental implants worth it?

A healthy smile is a top priority for most people. It plays a key role in first impressions, and it’s considered to be a great confidence booster. Because of this, it’s no surprise that those who undergo tooth extractions, or those who lost them naturally due to trauma or dental cavities, have doubts about the future of their smile. Our mission is to offer a custom-made solution to the severe problem that tooth loss represents.

Our team enthusiastically suggests dental implants. Although other treatments may suit more reduced budgets, like dentures and dental bridges, this option is worth considering for those looking for a complete restoration of both the function and the general aesthetics of their smile.

Dental implants can endure forever, and also maintain the jaw structure, eliminating in this way the risk of bone resorption. No other treatment alternative for missing teeth can deliver a result as stable and durable as dental implants.

Dental implants preserve jaw bone.

Video 00:25 | Mandibular Jaw, bone recession after losing teeth. Medically accurate dental 3D animation shows an edentulous (lacking teeth) person after several years and the resulting changes to facial appearance with jaw bone loss.

Dental implants are the best solution for tooth loss.

Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement options. And this is not unexpected, as they have several advantages. Patients considering implants should know that dental implants:

maintain natural bone, eliminating the risk of future tooth loss.
maintain jawbone structure, preventing alterations of facial aesthetics. People who suffer bone resorption tend to look older than they really are.
have excellent aesthetics results when the restoration is completed with porcelain bridges or crowns.
can last a lifetime. Within 8-9 months, dental implants are firmly integrated into natural bone.
provide better functionality than dentures and regular tooth bridges. It enables the patient to eat everything from sticky candies to steak without worrying about their smile.

T3® Dental Implants

Dental implants offer a natural looking replacement for adult teeth. In addition, implants restore functionality to the jaw, making speaking, eating and chewing easier. Most implants are comprised of a screw that is embedded into the bone, and a post, to which the prosthesis is attached.

Biomet T3 implants are unique because the microsurface of the cone-shaped screw contains an innovative bone-bonding component. This means that implants can be placed in areas with low bone density, sparing the patient the mess and misery of wearing poorly fitting dentures. Additionally, the bone-bonding component means quicker recovery time after the implant is placed.

Video 03:00 | T3® Implant is designed to deliver aesthetic results through tissue preservation.

Here are some of the other benefits associated with T3 implants:

Better oral health
Higher success rate
Improved self-esteem
Long-lasting results
Multiple 3i implants can be placed during a visit
Natural-looking implants
No adhesives or mess
Prevention of bone loss and gum recession
Sturdy, functional prosthetic teeth

Why should I choose T3 dental implants?

There are a wide variety of dental implants in the marketplace, but T3 have an almost unparalleled success rate. Almost 98% of T3 implants are fitted successfully and last for a lifetime. T3 implants contain a unique feature, which is embedded in the surface of the screw. Implant screws made by other companies are sprayed with calcium phosphate to enhance the bone integration process. However, T3 screws actually contain calcium phosphate, which means that delamination is less likely to occur.

Additionally, the cone-shaped T3 screw adds precision to the placement of implants and ensures that the final prosthesis is comfortable and can withstand pressure.

See pricing for dental implants above

How are T3 dental implants placed?

The procedure for placing T3 dental implants is similar to many other implant procedures. It is usually performed in two short visits, the first visit being typically an hour in length and the second taking around thirty minutes.

After the dentist has analyzed the X-rays and diagnostic results, the implant root can be inserted. This procedure will be performed under local anesthetic, unless another type of sedation is preferred.

Here is a step-by-step process for the first stage of a T3 dental implant placement:

An incision will be made in the gum tissue to expose the jawbone.
A tiny hole will be drilled into the jawbone to insert the implant into.
The implant will be screwed or tapped into the designated position.
A small temporary stop-cap is placed to cover the implant, and the surgical site is sutured closed.
After approximately 10 days, the sutures will be removed and the dentist will assess the healing process.

Generally, T3 dental implants enhance the healing process, which means that the second treatment phase can be completed around 10-12 weeks after the first.

Here is a brief overview of what can be expected at the second appointment:

A local anesthetic will be administered, and a tiny incision will be made to expose the prosthetic root. The temporary stop-cap will be removed and a small post or abutment will be attached to the implant.

When the healing process is complete, the new dental prosthesis (usually a crown) will be created from bite impressions. A tiny screw will be used to secure the prosthesis onto the abutment. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure the prosthesis is comfortable, and the T3 dental implant will be secure for a lifetime.

3D printed surgical guides for accurate, efficient implant placement.

A surgical guide is an extremely useful custom made appliance that helps the dentist in complex implant cases. It perfectly fits the dental arch and has marks that indicate the exact position and direction in which the implant should be placed.

Personalizing complex surgical procedures shouldn’t be a hassle. Rather than relying on traditional surgical guides, which can take weeks to be manufactured, our offices feature 3D printing. Through this extension of guided surgery, Dr. Patel is able to take the necessary scans, upload them to CAD software, then print a precise replica of your dentition in the same day. With 3D-printed surgical guides, patients benefit from first hand treatment explanations while our oral surgeon is able to proceed with the treatment planning process in a timely manner.
