How the All-on-4 Process Works
Consultation & Digital Imaging - We evaluate your oral health, bone density, and goals using advanced diagnostic tools.
Implant Placement - Four dental implants are strategically placed in your jaw to maximize stability and minimize the need for bone grafting.
Temporary Prosthetic (Same-Day Option) - In many cases, a temporary fixed denture is placed the same day so you leave with a smile.
Final Restoration - After the implants fully integrate with your bone (typically in 3–6 months), we place your custom, permanent denture.

Most healthy adults who have lost most or all of their teeth are candidates for All-on-4. Even if you've been told you're not eligible for implants due to bone loss, All-on-4 may still be an option thanks to its unique placement technique.

Invisalign plastic aligners will move your teeth to the right place discreetly and in the healthiest way possible. They’re available right here at Timber Dental Care!
Just One.
That’s right, ONE. A single missing tooth ultimately leads to shifting in each of your remaining teeth and can cause you to lose additional ones needlessly. How can that be? Most people with a missing side or back tooth say to themselves, “I can’t see it. It doesn’t hurt. I’ll leave it like that.” Unfortunately, these are the words of the average, uninformed person who doesn’t realize the effects the loss of a tooth can cause.
Your teeth are the protective barrier which prevents bone to loss in your jaw. Without any tooth to stop it, the jawbone will slowly deteriorate over time, leading to pain, discomfort, and an increased likelihood for gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral infections.
The Domino Effect of Missing Teeth
IF YOU WAIT, A FEW OF THE PROCEDURES YOU MAY NEED INCLUDE:
What Are The Benefits Of Dental Implants?
By preventing bone reabsorption that would normally occur with the loss of teeth, the facial structures remain intact. The lower one-third of the face can collapse if implants are not placed to preserve the bone making this especially important when all of the teeth are missing.
With replacement teeth that look, feel and function more like natural teeth, you will look younger and more attractive. Additionally, you will become even more confident and enjoy smiling, laughing, and talking with others.
You’ll get to eat better and prevent malnutrition or stomach problems. Fresh vegetables and fruits are back on the menu. You can now eat the foods you like. Your chewing will improve which boost your ability to digest foods.
Most of our patients love their new implants, because of their improved appearance, function, and comfort and health.
Your mouth will be restored as closely as possible to its natural state. By replacing the entire tooth, as well as the tooth root, it is possible to replicate the function of natural teeth, with a strong, stable foundation that allows comfortable biting and chewing. Also, nothing in the mouth looks or feels false or artificial!
Having implants decreases the risk of oral cancer and heart disease. It is much easier to care for any kind of implant versus dentures that get attached to remaining teeth. So, your chances of bacteria build up, and gum disease decreases when you have implants. Also, regular checkups will include early detection for oral cancer.
Eliminate Denture Adhesives FOREVER! With implants, the replacement tooth is securely attached to the implants so there is no need for messy denture adhesives.
Getting an implant means your other teeth will not be affected because of missing a tooth. Replacing missing teeth with Implant supported crowns and bridges does not involve the adjacent natural teeth, they are not compromised or damaged. For example, when you wear a partial denture, you have clamps that hook onto adjacent teeth, which put pressure on them that causes them to loosen and come out. And bridges require grinding down of the adjacent teeth so that the bridge can be cemented to them.
What Are Dental Implants?
Two-Stage Dental Implants are surgically placed into the jaw bone. After letting the mouth heal for a few months, another minor surgery is required to expose the implant and attach the dental implant abutment and temporary crown or restoration.
Endosteal Implants are surgically implanted directly into the jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant. Finally, an artificial tooth (or teeth) is attached to the post individually or grouped on a bridge or denture.
Single-Stage Dental Implants are done by placing a longer implant into the jaw and gum so that the top of the implant is exposed. After several months of healing, the abutment and restoration are placed right onto the implant without having to surgically expose the dental implant again.
Subperiosteal implants are a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame and protrude through the gums.
As with endosteal implants, artificial teeth are then mounted to the posts.
It is possible to replace all of the lower teeth with an over denture that is supported by only 2-4 implants. On the other hand, sometimes it might work in your advantage to replace your back teeth with an implant for each tooth to provide additional strength.
Who Can Get Dental Implants?
Almost any adult who is missing one or more teeth and in general good health is a candidate for dental implant treatment in Thornton. You should have healthy gums and a commitment to caring for your teeth and implants. This includes proper brushing, flossing and regular dental checkups.
Specific Groups Of People Do Not Make Good Candidates For Implants:
Young people whose jawbones have not stopped growing
Pregnant women
People who severely grind or clench their teeth — These habits can place too much pressure on the implants and increase the risk of failure.
Smokers - Smoking impairs the ability of your gums and bone to heal and also changes the bacteria balance in your mouth, leaving you in danger for bacterial infection during healing as well as increasing your chances for peri-implant disease, which can lead to implant loss!
Quality and quantity of available bone for implant placement is more often a factor in qualifying for dental implants than medical conditions. However, even people who have lost a significant amount of bone can qualify for dental implant treatment with additional procedures to add bone or create new bone.
Advances in this type of treatment have made it possible for thousands of patients to have successful implant procedures when they previously would not have been considered good candidates.
There are a few medical or mental health conditions that would keep someone from having implant treatment, depending on the extent and severity of the condition. You will need to discuss it with your trusted dentist .
