If gum disease, tooth decay, or toothlessness has made you feel less confident in your smile, it doesn’t have to stay that way. Our first-class All-on-Four treatment in Golden, CO, may be just what you need. When delivered by our experienced Drs Kenson, Leung, and Qi here at Golden Dental Solutions, you can trust that you’ll receive the best in dental and orthodontic care.
What Is All-On-Four Treatment?
All-on-Four treatment is what we call our comprehensive dental implant rehabilitation. It gets its name from the fact that the treatment involves all new teeth being supported by four dental implants. All refers to the teeth on a given jaw—meaning, if both jaws need all-on-four treatment, it will involve a total of eight implants.
Who Is This Treatment Best Suited For?
As you can imagine, this is quite an extensive treatment to undergo. That’s because it is primarily reserved for more extreme cases of dental and orthodontic issues. These issues can include:
- Complete toothlessness
- Severely damaged and broken down teeth
- Excessively decayed teeth
- Teeth compromised as a result of rampant gum disease
How Does It Work?
Here at Golden Dental Solutions, we utilize New You dentures for our All-on-Four treatment in Golden, CO. The process begins by capturing a digital scan of your jaw and gums. This thorough 3D-rendering of your mouth will allow either Drs Kenson, Leung, or Qi to create a digital schematic for your All-on-Four, New You dentures. Then, once the design is perfect, the dentures are manufactured to your mouth’s unique and exact specifications.
Of course, then comes the more difficult work of preparing your jaws and gums for the All-on-Four treatment. Once the procedure is a success and your New You dentures have been secured with their respective dental implants, you’re all done! Not only will your New You dentures completely restore your smile, but they can also help return a more voluminous and youthful look to your face—almost like a facelift.
Will Sedatives Be Necessary For This Treatment?
As invasive as the treatment is, sedatives are a necessity when undergoing All-on-Four treatment. These sedatives typically wear off within five hours of your successful treatment. Be sure to discuss with your doctor what types of sedatives are available if you have any concerns about the sedation process.
How Long Does All-On-Four Treatment Take To Recover From?
For most patients, the recovery time for All-on-Four treatment is typically between three to four weeks. Don’t worry—your orthodontist will lay out an easy-to-follow recovery plan that will involve proper rest and nutrition, among many other things. The first three days are the most important during the healing process, so close adherence to the recovery recommendations will help ensure there are no lasting side effects.
All-on-4 Dental Implants FAQs
How do All-on-4 implants compare to traditional dentures?
All-on-4 implants offer greater stability, comfort, and function than traditional removable dentures. Because they are anchored to the jawbone, they don’t shift or slip while eating or speaking. They also help prevent bone loss, which is common with long-term denture wear. Many patients also appreciate that All-on-4 doesn’t require adhesives or daily removal.
What kind of maintenance do All-on-4 implants require?
All-on-4 implants require daily brushing and flossing (using a floss threader or water flosser), along with regular dental cleanings and checkups. While they don’t decay like natural teeth, plaque and bacteria can still accumulate around the implants and affect gum health. Our team will provide you with specific home care instructions to help maintain your results for the long term.
Are All-on-4 dental implants covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for All-on-4 implants depends on your specific dental plan. While most insurance plans may not cover the full cost of implant treatment, some may contribute toward the diagnostic phase, sedation, or prosthetic component (like dentures). Our team is happy to verify your benefits and help you understand your out-of-pocket costs before moving forward.
Can All-on-4 implants be done in one day?
In some cases, yes. All-on-4 is known for its “teeth in a day” potential, meaning patients may leave with a fully functional set of temporary teeth on the same day as implant placement. After healing, those are replaced with a permanent set. Whether same-day placement is right for you depends on your oral health, bone density, and overall readiness.
What materials are used for All-on-4 implants?
The dental implants themselves are typically made from medical-grade titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates with your jawbone. The full-arch prosthetic (New You dentures, in our case) is usually crafted from high-quality acrylic or zirconia, both of which are designed for strength, comfort, and natural appearance.
How does bone density affect eligibility for All-on-4?
Unlike traditional implants, All-on-4 is often ideal for patients with mild to moderate bone loss. The strategic placement of the four implants — angled and positioned where bone is densest — can often eliminate the need for bone grafting. That said, we’ll perform a 3D digital scan to determine your bone health before recommending this procedure.
Can All-on-4 implants fail, and what are the reasons?
While success rates are high, implant failure is possible. Factors that can raise the risk for failure include smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, poor oral hygiene, or untreated gum disease. Rare mechanical complications with the prosthetic can also occur. Our team provides detailed post-op instructions and regular follow-ups to minimize risk and support long-term success.
