If you are missing most or all of your teeth, All-on-4® implants offer a permanent solution. All-on-4 implants are a highly effective treatment for patients who want to avoid traditional dentures. By using only four strategically placed dental implants, this treatment can support a full arch of replacement teeth. Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Nate Chertok and the team provide All-on-4 implants to help restore function and aesthetics, giving you the confidence to smile again.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 implants offer several advantages over traditional dentures or other restorative options:
- Stability: Because the dental prosthesis is anchored to the implants, it will not slip or shift.
- Quick results: The procedure allows many patients to receive temporary teeth the same day as the implant surgery.
- Bone preservation: Implants help maintain jawbone density, preventing the sunken facial appearance that often occurs with tooth loss.
- Natural look and feel: Your replacement teeth will look and function just like natural teeth.
How the Process Works
The All-on-4 treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation at Longmont Restorative Dentistry, where we evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a candidate for this procedure. If approved, the next step involves placing four dental implants into your jawbone. These implants act as anchors for the custom-made set of teeth that are attached to the implants. Most patients can leave the office with a temporary restoration while their permanent set is being crafted.
After the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone, the permanent prosthesis is secured. This final restoration is designed to last for years with proper care, providing you with a stable, beautiful smile.

FAQ
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
All-on-4 implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. With proper care, including regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene, they can last many years, often 10 to 15 years or more.
What is the recovery process like after receiving All-on-4 implants?
After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling and discomfort, which is typically manageable with prescribed medication. Most people can return to their normal activities within a few days, but full healing may take several months as the implants integrate with the jawbone.
Are there any dietary restrictions after getting All-on-4 implants?
Initially, patients may need to stick to a soft-food diet to allow healing. As the mouth heals and comfort improves, many can gradually reintroduce firmer foods. We will provide specific recommendations tailored to your healing process.
How do All-on-4 implants compare to traditional dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip and require adhesives, All-on-4 implants are securely anchored to the jawbone. This provides greater stability, comfort and functionality, allowing for better chewing and speaking without the fear of slipping.
