All-on-4 Implants in Pasadena

A Fast and Minimally Invasive Solution

All-on-4 is an immediate solution for complete lower or upper tooth replacement that is as close to natural teeth as is available today. All-on-4 uses dental implant technology to place titanium implants into the jaw bone. Temporary teeth that will look very similar to your final replacement teeth are immediately attached to the implants making it virtually impossible for your new teeth to slip, shift, come loose or fall out.

Get New Teeth in One Day

Dr. Hendroid and Dr. Hendry use four to six specially placed implants per arch to secure high-grade new teeth. Patients walk out with teeth in just one day. These teeth do not snap in and out and can only be removed by the dentist. Chewing power increases to about 80% of normal, and allows most patients to eat whatever they want.

The All-on-4 Procedure

Preparing for Your Procedure

Consultation and 3D scan

Dr. Hendry and Dr. Henriod will meet with you to discuss your goals for your mouth, review your dental and medical history and do an oral exam. We’ll also do a 3D scan of your jaw, teeth and gums using our 3D cone beam CT scanner, a state-of-the-art 3D imaging system. With the CT scanner we can see in full 360º view all these structures and are able to do a full evaluation.

After your doctor does their full assessment, one of our treatment coordinators will prepare a treatment plan and meet with you to answer additional questions and explain all of your payment options.

Preparing for the surgery

We use the 3D scans and plaster study models to prepare for your surgery. We plan ahead of time the exact location and angle of the implant needed to take advantage of the bone available. This means we don’t have to do any bone grafting in the majority of the cases.

We make a surgical guide to help guide the implant into position with minimal impact on the gum and bone, making the procedure minimally invasive, and your post-treatment discomfort minimal.

Preparation of your temporary teeth

As your dental implants will need time to heal before placing your permanent new teeth, you will be given temporary implant teeth the day of the implant surgery. These are fully functional and are immediately usable.

How All-on-4 Works

All-on-4 uses dental implant technology to place titanium implants into the jaw bone. Temporary teeth that will look very similar to your final replacement teeth are immediately attached to the implants making it virtually impossible for your new teeth to slip, shift, come loose or fall out.

Due to the thorough pre-planning and the use of the surgical guide, your implant surgery is a relatively fast procedure. Most patients receive four implants on the bottom arch, and four to six on the top arch. How many we put in depends upon the density of the bone and how much bone is available.

If we need to extract any teeth, this is done in the same visit. As the procedure is lengthy, patients can opt to have the procedure done under IV sedation for full relaxation.

All-on-4 uses some of the highest-quality implants available, made by the best medical device companies.

After the Procedure

Permanent replacement teeth

About 16-24 weeks later we can place your permanent, high-grade teeth, aesthetically designed and fitted just for you. We adjust them as needed so that you have a fully aligned bite (how the teeth come together).

We do several bite adjustments over the upcoming weeks until your bite alignment is just right. This is an essential part of the procedure, as a misaligned bite can cause damage to your new teeth and make for uncomfortable chewing and TMJ pain. The bite must be evenly distributed for your new teeth to work optimally without causing undue stress on the implants.

Cleanings and follow-up

We recommend patients get three cleanings a year to keep the implants in top condition. Dental implants are vulnerable to gum disease if not properly maintained. When implant teeth aren't cleaned well, the tissues and bone surrounding the implants can become inflamed and eventually deteriorate causing the implant to fail. This is a condition called peri-implantitis. Our hygienists are specifically trained to clean your implant-supported teeth. Cleanings can also be alternated with your general dentist.
