The All-on-4 Dental Implant Process

Consultation

Your smile transformation journey with All-on-4 dental implants starts with a comprehensive consultation at Zajac Dental. During this initial appointment, Dr. Zajac will assess your oral health, discuss your goals and expectations, and determine if All-on-4 dental implants are the right solution for you. Your All-on-4 consultation is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions or address any concerns you may have about the procedure.

Preparation

Once you and Dr. Zajac have decided to proceed with All-on-4 implants, the next step is preparation. This may involve extracting any unhealthy remaining teeth, addressing any underlying oral health issues, and, if necessary, performing bone grafting procedures to create an adequate foundation for the implants. Dr. Zajac will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and concerns.

Design

With your oral health optimized and your treatment plan in place, the next phase of All-on-4 placement is designing your custom-made replacement teeth. Using advanced digital imaging and planning software, Dr. Zajac will meticulously design your new smile for optimal fit and function. This step is essential for achieving natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your existing natural teeth and facial features.

Implant Placement

Once the design phase is complete, it’s time for the All-on-4 dental implant surgery. During the All-on-4 surgical procedure, Dr. Zajac will strategically place the four implants in predetermined positions within your jawbone to support the replacement teeth. 

Depending on your case and preferences, the All-on-4 dental implant procedure may be done under local anesthesia or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. With the four implants in place, temporary replacement teeth can be attached the same day, restoring your smile and providing immediate function in just one appointment.

Permanent Restoration

Once your implants have fully fused to your jaw bone through osseointegration, you’ll return to our Oakville, ON office to have your permanent restoration placed. Dr. Zajac will remove the temporary restoration and secure your permanent teeth to the osseointegrated implants.

All-on-4 Dental Implant Aftercare

After your All-on-4 dental implant surgery, proper implant aftercare is crucial for ensuring a successful outcome and long-term implant survival. Here are some essential tips to help you care for your new smile:

• Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene: Good oral hygiene is essential for the long-term success of your All-on-4 implants. Brush and floss your teeth regularly as instructed by Dr. Zajac, and be sure to attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings to monitor the health and stability of your four implants.
• Attend Scheduled Follow-up Appointments: To ensure proper healing and function of your All-on-4 implants, attending all scheduled follow-up appointments with Dr. Zajac is crucial. During these visits, he will evaluate your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and address any concerns you may have to help ensure implant survival.
• Avoid Hard or Crunchy Foods: Stick to soft, easy-to-chew foods to avoid putting unnecessary stress on your implants during the first few days after your All-on-4 procedure.
• Be Patient and Allow Time for Healing: Be patient and allow your mouth ample time to heal and adjust to your new All-on-4 implants. Dr. Zajac and his team will be there to support you every step of the way on your journey to a healthier, more confident smile.
