ASSESSMENT: Our experienced dentist will evaluate your dental and medical history, perform a thorough examination, and assess the condition of your jawbone using diagnostic imaging techniques such as X-rays or CT scans.
GRAFTING MATERIAL SELECTION: Depending on your specific needs, different grafting materials may be considered. These can include your own bone (autograft), donor bone from another source (allograft), synthetic bone substitutes, or a combination of these materials. Our dentist will discuss the most suitable option for you.
GRAFT PLACEMENT: During the procedure, the grafting material is placed in the targeted area of the jawbone. It is carefully positioned and secured to promote new bone growth. In some cases, a membrane or barrier may be used to protect the graft and enhance its effectiveness.
HEALING AND INTEGRATION: Over time, the graft material serves as a scaffold for new bone cells to grow and integrate. The healing process can take several months, during which the graft fuses with your natural bone, resulting in a stronger and more stable foundation for dental restorations or implants.
IMPROVED DENTAL IMPLANT SUCCESS: Dental implants require sufficient bone density and volume for successful placement and long-term stability. Hard tissue grafting ensures that there is an adequate foundation to support dental implants.
RESTORED FACIAL AESTHETICS: Bone loss in the jaw can cause a sunken or aged appearance. Hard tissue grafting helps preserve facial structure, providing a more youthful and natural facial contour.
ENHANCED DENTURE STABILITY: Dentures rely on a well-supported jawbone for stability. Hard tissue grafting can provide a secure foundation for dentures, preventing slippage or discomfort.
PRESERVATION OF ADJACENT TEETH: Bone loss can affect the neighboring teeth, leading to potential oral health issues. Hard tissue grafting helps maintain the integrity of the surrounding teeth, reducing the risk of additional tooth loss.
EXAMINATION & PLANNING: Our dentist will evaluate your gum health, identify areas of recession, and determine the most suitable approach for your soft tissue grafting procedure.
GRAFTING MATERIAL SELECTION: Several grafting options are available for soft tissue grafting, including grafts taken from your own mouth (autografts), donor tissue (allografts), or synthetic materials. The chosen graft material will be tailored to your specific needs.
GRAFT PLACEMENT: The graft material is carefully positioned and secured in the affected area. It serves as a protective barrier and encourages the growth of new gum tissue.
HEALING & INTEGRATION: Over time, the graft blends with your existing gum tissue, improving the appearance and health of your gums. It provides a stronger and more resilient gumline, protecting your teeth from further recession and potential tooth sensitivity.
IMPROVED GUM HEALTH: Soft tissue grafting restores gum tissue, reduces sensitivity, and protects exposed tooth roots, improving overall gum health.
ENHANCED AESTHETICS: Receding gums can make your smile appear uneven or toothy. Soft tissue grafting creates a more balanced and attractive gumline, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your smile.
REDUCED TOOTH SENSITIVITY: Exposed tooth roots can be sensitive to hot or cold temperatures. Soft tissue grafting covers these roots, reducing sensitivity and improving your comfort.
PROTECTION AGAINST TOOTH DECAY: Gum recession increases the risk of tooth decay and cavities. Soft tissue grafting helps prevent decay by covering exposed root surfaces and making them less vulnerable to bacteria.

INITIAL CONSULTATION: During your first visit, our experienced dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of your oral health. This may include taking impressions, X-rays, or 3D scans to assess your bone density and determine if you are a suitable candidate for All-on-4.
TREATMENT PLANNING: Based on the examination results, our dental team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan considers factors such as your bone condition, overall oral health, and desired outcome.
IMPLANT PLACEMENT: In the next phase, four dental implants will be strategically positioned in your jawbone. The implants are made of biocompatible titanium, which fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This provides a stable foundation for the final restoration.
TEMPORARY TEETH: To ensure you leave our office with a functional and aesthetic smile, a temporary set of teeth will be attached to the implants on the same day of the surgery. These temporary teeth allow you to resume regular activities while your implants heal and integrate the jawbone.
FINAL RESTORATION: After the healing period, typically a few months, the final set of custom-made permanent teeth will be fabricated. These teeth are designed to look and function like natural teeth, providing an attractive, functional, and durable solution for full-arch tooth replacement.
IMMEDIATE FUNCTION: With All-on-4, you can have a functional set of teeth attached to the implants on the same day of the surgery, minimizing downtime and allowing you to resume your daily activities with confidence.
STABLE & SECURE: All-on-4 provides exceptional stability and prevents slippage or movement of the prosthesis, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
IMPROVED CHEWING & SPEAKING: All-on-4 allows you to enjoy a wide variety of foods and speak with clarity, restoring your ability to eat and communicate with confidence.
AESTHETICS: The final restoration is customized to match your natural teeth in shape, size, and color, resulting in a beautiful and natural-looking smile.
BONE PRESERVATION: All-on-4 implants help stimulate the jawbone, preventing further bone loss and preserving your facial structure.
SIMPLIFIED TREATMENT: All-on-4 reduces the number of implants required compared to traditional full-arch implant procedures, making it a more streamlined and cost-effective solution.
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. Our EDITION dental implants are often the ideal tooth-replacement option, because unlike traditional tooth-replacement solutions (such as bridges, dentures, and partials) implants replace the missing tooth’s root as well as the crown. Dental implants do not require support from adjacent teeth, and they keep the jawbone strong because it has a purpose – to support the tooth’s root.
Dental implants have a success rate of 95 to 98%. With dental implants, patients don’t suffer increased sensitivity or tooth decay. They don’t require other teeth to be ground down. With proper oral hygiene, dental implants last most people for a lifetime.
