If you feel self-conscious about your smile because of damaged or missing teeth, the All-on-Four dental implant method could be the right choice for you. Using only four carefully placed implants, we can secure a permanent denture that gives you a stable, natural-looking smile. This technique uses healthy bone to replace a full arch of missing teeth.
All-on-Four is ideal for patients who have less bone structure, so they can get dental implants without needing complex bone grafting. With four small titanium implants, a custom denture can be placed, restoring confidence, oral health, and quality of life.
This approach can bring back full function to your smile, without the extra care, food limits, or unclear speech often found with regular dentures. Our Plano, TX office offers All-on-Four Implants for patients wanting a stable upgrade from traditional dentures.
What To Expect: All-On-Four
The All-on-Four procedure will require several visits to our Plano, TX office. Each patient will start with a full consultation, which includes a check-up and bite analysis. Dr. Grapevine will work closely with you to create a custom treatment plan, focusing on any healthy bone structure to achieve the best results.
Dr. Grapevine also coordinates with a local oral surgeon to complete the implant procedure. Many patients can have their implants and denture placed in just one visit, thanks to the careful planning done ahead of time.
We will design a custom denture using high-quality porcelain, which looks and feels just like natural teeth. Then we fix the denture securely to the four implants, providing a strong bite and a beautiful smile.
Once the procedure is complete, patients can enjoy their new smile immediately. You’ll receive instructions for before and after surgery to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. Dr. Grapevine is here to answer any questions and ensure a successful treatment experience.
