Are you currently missing multiple teeth, or worried that you are about to lose all of your teeth? Are you dealing with uncomfortable or ill-fitting dentures? At Bayview Smile Centre, we have may years of experience with the “All on 4” technique, sometimes referred to as “All on X” or “Teeth in a Day”. This is a procedure where we are able to replace a full arch of teeth (upper or lower or both) with dental implants and a fixed prosthetic. The benefits to this procedure over traditional teeth replacement methods include: fewer surgeries, very little downtime, and beautiful, natural looking results that function as closely to natural teeth as possible.
All-on-4 refers to a dental implant procedure where all failing teeth are removed and 4- 6 implants are strategically placed to support a full arch prosthetic (upper or lower or both). This differs from traditional implants where one implant replaces each missing tooth. The All on 4 process required less bone than traditional implant procedures. This allows us to offer implant solutions to people who have already been told they are not good candidates for dental implants due to poor bone levels or quality.
You may be a candidate if you:

We will review your health and dental history, take some photos and/or a 3D scan so that we can discuss your smile goals and provide you with options.
Our dentist will place between four and six implants in each arch. These implants are placed in a way to optimize existing bone and create an aesthetic and functional bite.
In most cases, you will have a temporary bridge inserted the same day as the implant placement. This temporary prosthetic will be securely fastened in place - only a dentist can remove it - and you will leave your appointment with a beautiful smile.
Healing takes time - the implants need to integrate (attach) to your bone. This process usually takes between three to six months. During this time, you will be using the fixed temporary bridge and we will monitor your progress to determine when the implants are integrated.
After the healing period, we will design and insert your final fixed bridge. Every smile is unique and you will have the opportunity to participate in the design process.
It is very important to maintain your new smile with regular visits with the dentist or hygienist for cleaning and so we can check the health of your tissue around the implants. With good homecare and maintenance, your All on 4 should last for many years, maybe even a lifetime.
