Quality of Life
The All-on-4 Treatment Concept can make a huge difference to your quality of life, whether you have had dentures for years or if you are considering restorative options for the very first time. Many patients that need to replace multiple teeth opt for dentures, but compared to All-on-4 they come with a number of drawbacks. Dentures are supported only by your gums, which not only erodes your gums and jawbone but also makes it easier for them to slide around in your mouth. This limits the foods you can eat and can make talking difficult or awkward.
The All-on-4 Treatment Concept is different. Not only does it replace your missing teeth with new ones that are even stronger and more durable, but it actually helps maintain the long-term health of the rest of your mouth. Dental implants keep your jawbone healthy and stimulated, preventing bone loss that can prematurely age you. Plus, implants are far more durable.
Dr. Jirik uses this proven technique of the All-on-4 Treatment Concept that involves only using four specially placed implants without the need for bone grafts and sinus lifts. Other approaches involve more laborious and costly techniques often requiring bone grafting, sinus lifts, and eight or more implants per arch, and can take up to three years to complete treatment. Your new smile can be completed in just one day.
The end result is a solid base of teeth that are fixed in place and are not removed. It means lower costs and reduced healing times allowing our patients to regain their original youthful smile and original function faster, more reliably. The All-on-4 technique is FDA approved and has a long history of success.
Health
The list of health benefits is long. Restoring your ability to chew is chief among them. If you’ve suffered with painful teeth or no teeth at all, you’re aware of how limited your food selection has become. Your body needs the many beneficial nutrients found in crunchy, chewy, crisp foods. Digestion is extremely important too. Chewing your food properly helps with good digestion.
Dental implants aren’t a procedure just done to your mouth – they’re a procedure for your whole body.
Appearance
The first things people notice are your eyes and your smile. Withholding a smile gives off a negative impression and less-than-perfect teeth are also often unfairly judged. You can change both of these with dental implants – no other tooth replacement option looks more like natural teeth.
If you’ve been without teeth for a while you may have noticed a change in the structure of your face. Maybe a little sunken? A little older? A weaker jawline? This is a result of the lack of tooth roots. A tooth root stimulates your bone, encouraging healthy growth.
Dental implants look natural and replace missing teeth roots, restoring facial structure and getting bone healthy again for a more youthful appearance.
Confidence
Smile big and wide, and laugh out loud with no concern about showing a missing tooth, unattractive teeth, or a denture that slips out of place. No more passing on social engagements, selfies, and family photos. You can finally stop hiding from behind your hand.
Have less than perfect teeth kept you from getting a promotion or a date? When you don’t have to feel embarrassed about your smile, your confidence will soar.
With dental implants you’ll be noticed and remembered for your smile in the way that you want to be.
Convenience
Dental implants are permanent. Unlike with dentures, which you must remove daily to clean, implants remain in your mouth. Caring for them is like caring for natural teeth: Just brush and floss two to three times daily.
Gone are the days of cavities and root canals.
You never have to worry about them slipping or sliding out of place at an inopportune moment. And no messy glues are needed.
No other tooth replacement option is more like real teeth than dental implants.

Traditional Dentures
-
Dentures are bulky.
- Traditional dentures cover the roof of your mouth, where many of our taste buds are, interfering with your ability to fully taste foods.
-
They tend to slip out of place.
- Dentures are only held in place by your mouth’s natural suction, so often messy adhesives are necessary to keep them in place.
- Partially restore chewing ability.
-
Dentures sit on top of your gums.
- This can lead to rubbing and irritation. Worse, it can increase the speed at which your jawbone erodes.
-
Dentures do nothing to promote healthy bone growth.
- Only a tooth root or something inserted into the jawbone can keep your jawbone ample and healthy.
All-on-4® Dental Implants
-
All-on-4 hybrids are small and lightweight.
- Dentures cover the roof of your mouth, a dental implant hybrid is just the “teeth” and “gums”.
-
Dental implants are the longest lasting, most comfortable treatment option.
- Implants have the best long-term prognosis of any prosthetic lasting 20+ years 98% of the time.
- They essentially become new teeth and you clean them exactly the same way. No hassle with taking them in and out.
-
95% chewing ability restored.
- Enjoy all your favorite foods again!
-
Dental implants are implanted into your jawbone.
- Implants become a part of your body and fit in your mouth as comfortably as natural teeth.
-
Dentures do nothing to promote healthy bone growth.
- The implant replaces your tooth root so that your body continues sending signals to keep growing bone there. This keeps your facial structure intact and more youthful looking.
Bone & Bone Health
The foundation for your new teeth depends on the bone into which they’re implanted. Without enough healthy bone, there is nothing for the implant to fuse with. Certain conditions can cause a person’s bone to wear away: smoking, diabetes, or time without teeth are a few.
Even if you’ve been told you don’t have the necessary bone for dental implants – don’t worry! All-on-4 gives patients with less bone a second chance to still be candidates for dental implants. All-on-4 implants use specific angles in order to utilize more available bone.
And, unlike any other tooth replacement option, dental implants can improve your bone health. Implants replace missing tooth roots which are needed to send signals to your body to keep growing bone in your jaw. Dental implants can help retain your facial structure, even retaining a more youthful appearance.
