What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
In the past, if you had lost most or all of your teeth, removable dentures were your only option for replacing your smile. At Smile Couture, we're excited to offer a more advanced approach to replace missing teeth: All-on-4 dental implants from Nobel Biocare. Instead of replacing teeth one at a time, All-on-4 restores a full smile using four carefully placed implants designed to stay securely in place. The implants work together to support a single, full-arch custom denture, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence again. If you're interested in learning more about the All-on-4 implant process, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our dentists in Wantagh, NY to explore our dental restoration services.
What Is the All-on-4 Dental Implant Process?
The process begins with detailed planning, including x-ray imaging to evaluate your jawbone, bite, and facial structure. From there, we'll determine exactly where each implant will be placed and develop a comprehensive treatment plan. On the day of your All-on-4 implant surgery, we'll start by numbing your mouth to keep you comfortable. Our practice also offers nitrous oxide sedation if you need extra help relaxing for your procedure. Once you're ready, your dentist will make small incisions in your gums to access your jawbone. After creating space for each implant, they'll carefully place them into the bone and close the incisions. In most cases, we'll attach a temporary set of teeth to the implants while your custom denture is being prepared. When it's ready, we'll schedule a follow-up appointment to install your new denture restoration, which will be shaped to your face and bite for a natural, comfortable fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the All-on-4 procedure painful?
The procedure is performed using local anesthesia and, when appropriate, sedation options to help maximize comfort. Most patients report manageable discomfort following surgery, similar to other oral surgical procedures. Mild swelling and soreness are common in the days after treatment, but these symptoms typically improve with proper aftercare and prescribed medications. Smile Couture prioritizes patient comfort throughout every stage of the dental implant procedure.
How long do All-on-4 dental implants last?
With proper care, All-on-4 implants are designed to be a long-term solution for missing teeth. The implant posts themselves can last many years, and in many cases decades, while the prosthetic arch may require maintenance or replacement over time due to normal wear. Consistent brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups at Smile Couture in Wantagh, NY help support the longevity of your full mouth dental implants.
How much do All-on-4 dental implants cost?
The cost of All-on-4 dental implants in Wantagh, NY varies based on factors such as the condition of your oral health, whether extractions are needed, and the type of final restoration selected. While this treatment represents a significant investment, many patients consider it worthwhile due to its stability, durability, and impact on quality of life. A personalized consultation with Dr. Nektalova at Smile Couture provides a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate tailored to your needs.
