  • Does NOT cover the roof of your mouth!
  • No long healing times before your dental implants are ready to use normally.
  • Non-removable | Doesn’t come in and out like a denture.
  • Requires the least amount of bone | Great for people with less bone mass.
  • Taste your food better!

how it works

The All-On-4 procedure involves removing your remaining teeth, placing 4-6 implants per arch, and securing a low-profile bridge to the implants. The implants are often placed at specialized angles to avoid the patient’s sinuses. This also avoids the need for expensive bone grafts that come with long healing times.

The traditional All-On-4 procedure involves 4 implants and acrylic denture teeth over a titanium frame. Our doctor has modified this procedure to provide an even better result for his patients based on his experience successfully placing countless dental implants. At Mesa Dental Implants & Dentures, we carefully analyze each and every case and base our treatment on your individual anatomy. Your doctor will place between 4 and 6 implants per arch and temporary fixed bridges will be secured while your implants integrate with your jawbones and your mouth heals.

After your healing is complete, the doctor and lab technician will design your final All-On-4 teeth with zirconia, which is a premium material that’s much stronger than the traditional acrylic (plastic) denture teeth offered at most other dental offices. Zirconia gives a more natural, life-like result which is also more hygienic and resistant to staining. This means your teeth will last longer and look better than the acrylic/titanium hybrid bridges you’ll find with many other All-On-4 specialists.

am i a candidate?

Most patients will be a candidate for the All-On-4 procedure, even those who have been told they don’t have enough bone for dental implants. Your doctor will use a combination of straight and angled implants to avoid the sinuses and engage the strongest part of your jawbone. This technique usually removes the need for expensive and lengthy sinus augmentation bone grafts.

Your doctor will perform a thorough evaluation during your consultation to see if All-On-4, “Teeth in a Day” is a good option for you.

why zirconia is better than traditional denture material

Zirconia is the “gold standard” material for the All-On-4 procedure. Zirconia is a type of ceramic that is extremely durable and resistant to wear and corrosion, making it an excellent choice for All-On-4 dental restorations.

One of the main benefits of using zirconia for All-On-4 dental implants is its strength and stability. Zirconia bridges can withstand high chewing forces without cracking or chipping, ensuring that your new teeth perform impeccably for decades. Zirconia is also biocompatible, which means it’s unlikely to cause an allergic or inflammatory reaction. This makes it an ideal option for patients with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

Another advantage of zirconia dental implants is its stunning, natural-looking appearance. Unlike metal or acrylic, zirconia has a translucent quality that closely mimics the look of natural teeth, giving your new teeth a realistic and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Finally, zirconia is easy to clean, maintain, and can be easily polished to keep its shine and prevent discoloration over time. This helps ensure the longevity and durability of your new All-On-4 teeth.

Overall, zirconia is an excellent choice for All-On-4 dental implants, offering a number of benefits that make it an attractive option for patients seeking a beautiful, long-lasting, natural-looking, and easy-to-maintain smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

All-On-4 Dental Implants Mesa, AZ

Will I be able to eat with my teeth from day one?

Yes. This is why this procedure is often called “teeth in a day”. Although there are still limitations on what, you should eat. Any food harder than what you can squish  between your fingers should be avoided. Doing anything otherwise risks your immediate denture fracturing and possibly damage your implants.
The first documented All-On-4  procedure can be traced back to 1998.
You should treat your All-On-4 teeth like regular teeth. Daily brushing and flossing is a must. Additional tools to assist with your hygiene would be a Waterpik and Proxabrush.
The bridges are a highly polished zirconia material and will feel very smooth. They will feel bigger than what you remember your natural teeth felt like. They also feel very secure in your mouth. The ability to bite into something crunchy or hard will be done with ease.
The first 48 hours after the procedure is the worst part. You’ll be dealing with a lot of swelling in the gums. I wouldn’t compare it to the pain of a really bad toothache though. This is something that can be managed with anti-inflammatories and possibly a narcotic as needed.
Yes there will be discomfort. If you had teeth removed, the discomfort is often more intense for the first 48 hours.
Typically three days after the procedure you will be feeling more normal. By the end of the first week you will like your normal self.

Technology, price transparency, and customer service is what makes us different. The ability to be fully digital provides a more accurate, better looking, and stronger product. Prices for this procedure vary widely in Alaska. We know that most people are shopping around for a good deal, and that’s why we put our fees right here on our website. We encourage you to go get second opinions because we are confident that at the end of the day you are getting the best value with a top quality product. Above all you are getting me, Dr. Green, as a skilled implant surgeon who is available to help you along this journey of restoring your confidence in your smile and life.

You will notice our practice will treat you like a family member and not as a quota. We make it a point to sit down and listen to what your needs are in a judgment-free environment. Too often these corporate centers focus on the bottom line but forget that there is a person attached to the implants they are placing. The next time you have a consultation at one of these centers, try to send a message through their website chat and see who responds. I know at my office you are directly communicating with me, the doctor that will help guide you through one of the most impactful decisions you will ever make in your life.

Mini implants have a time and a place for certain individuals who have extremely low bone volume. Most of the time these patients are not candidates for a traditional All-On-4 implant procedure and would need advanced implants that only a skilled surgeon should take on. If you are offered mini implants as an option I would recommend getting a 2nd or 3rd opinion to educate yourself on the best treatment route for your needs. Snap-in dentures are a good alternative to the All-On-4 if you are willing to compromise the quality and function of the denture for the price.

We recommend having them cleaned at least once a year. At our office we offer 4 cleanings in the first year to make sure that your denture is on the right track with your daily hygiene protocol.

Yes, implants can fail. There are many reasons that contribute to a failure so it is recommended to follow the doctor’s protocol in the healing phase to give yourself the best chance for success.

Drooling occurs when a foreign body stimulates the saliva response. This is designed to aid in the breakdown of food when you are chewing. A new denture will mimic that response but don’t worry, your body will adapt and you will come back to a normal saliva response in a few days.

Yes. We offer IV sedation, which is considered a moderate sedation, or we can bring in an anesthesiologist to provide general anesthesia.

Yes and no. If the quality of your bone provides sufficient primary stability then we always attach a denture to the implants. If the bone is too soft then you will walk out with a traditional denture to be safe.

Heavy bleeding should stop when you leave the clinic. It’s common to “weep” small amounts of blood for the next 12 to 24 hours.
Most people will need a couple of days to get used to the new dentures. Although they won’t feel “natural” until the bite is adjusted to be in harmony with your jaw movement.
It depends on the thickness of the denture. The perception of thickness is often determined by the placement of the implants. If the implant has to be placed in a particular position for ideal integration, then the thickness of the denture may make it difficult to pronounce certain sounds. Don’t worry though, this is something easily remedied in a couple of appointments.
It is recommended to wait for your tissue to be completely healed before using a Waterpik. That is typically 1-2 weeks.
The candidate for this procedure is based on the condition of the teeth, how many are missing, and the amount of bone you have. Age is not a major consideration to determine if you are a candidate.

You should have all the prescribed medications filled, enough liquid food for 2-3 days, and ice packs.

The final denture is made out of zirconia. It is sometimes referred to as “ceramic steel” because it is a metal that can mimic the appearance of natural teeth but it has superior toughness, strength, and fatigue resistance, in addition to excellent wear properties and biocompatibility.
Our office bundled fee for the “Teeth in a Day” service is about $23,000 per jaw.
If the quality of the bone can achieve enough primary stability to pass a specific threshold then the implants can be connected to a denture during the healing phase. The denture splints the implants together, allowing it to not move, thus they will predictably integrate into the bone.
There are other techniques in implant placement that can be used to have a successful outcome.
Yes, this is the ideal situation because the most bone volume you will ever have is the day the teeth are removed.
No, Dr. Green is a general dentist that has dedicated 100’s of hours of continuing education on implant dentistry. He continues to travel throughout the world to learn the latest techniques in this field of work.
We have invested in technology that helps us lower the cost of the traditional, labor intensive technique. We then can pass the savings onto our patients. Our prices are very similar to private practices in the lower 48.
Yes we have a few companies that we work with that offer affordable monthly payments.

Yes we offer a 20 year limited warranty called our Assured Smile Program.

The procedure typically takes 3-4 hours per jaw.
Our digital approach allows us to adjust the design of your denture to create multiple prototypes. So if you wish to make changes to the design then we can easily accommodate that until you are satisfied with the shape and color.
Most people try to save money by flying throughout the continental United States or even to international clinics. I would caution against this because if something were to go wrong, such as a denture breaking or an implant not integrating, you would want to have your surgeon on call and available to fix it as soon as possible. Traveling abroad can often be more expensive compared to coming to Woodside Dental Group.
No they do not. If you do notice any movement at all, that could be a sign of something seriously wrong with either the implants or the denture.
An implant supported denture often gets this name because patients go into the clinic for the surgery and walk out with a new functioning smile. A new set of teeth in one day.
Yes it can easily break if you eat the wrong foods or are self aware that you grind your teeth.
Yes, but with the material that we use it is very unlikely to happen.
It is possible to use existing implants to create a new All-On-4 denture.
No, only a dentist can remove the bridge.
Yes, food can get stuck underneath the bridge. That is why we recommend daily use of a Waterpik and Proxabrushes for cleaning.
We recommend at least 2-3 days.

All-On-4 Procedure Timeline

The procedure itself typically takes 4-6 hours depending on whether you are having a single arch treated (upper or lower) or both arches (full mouth). When you leave our office, your temporary All-On-4 bridge(s) will be securely attached to your new implants. You will wear your temporary bridge(s) for about 4 months to allow time for your implants to integrate with your bone and for your jaw and gums to heal into a stable, long-term position before we fabricate your final bridge(s). This healing time ensures the closest possible fit for your final bridges. After you have healed, we will begin fabricating your final All-On-4 bridge(s). This involves a few appointments over a 5-6 week period, during which time you’ll help us design your ideal smile for your permanent teeth.

Mouth Impressions
Our lab uses these to make your temporary implant bridge(s). Possible wax try-in – if you are missing all or most of the teeth in the arch that we will be treating, our doctor may suggest a wax try-in. This is a mockup of your temporary implant bridge and will be used to check bite position, aesthetics, etc.

We want to make sure you’re completely happy with your wax try-ins before processing them because once they’re processed, we’re unable to make changes. If you want to make changes after you have approved your final bridge(s) and they’ve been fabricated, there will be a full-cost remake charge.

All-On-4 Dental Implant Warranty

Our implant success rates are so predictable that we offer an unprecedented 5-year implant warranty (some conditions and limitations do apply).

Our 5-year dental implant warranty program*

Your implant will work, or we will remove it and replace it – absolutely free.

Many surgeons will offer this courtesy, but few will do so in writing. In addition, in those rare instances when an implant does fail, corrective surgery such as bone and/or soft tissue grafting is often needed. If we have to remove one of our implants, not only will we replace it absolutely free, but any corrective procedures required will also be performed at no cost.

Your implant will remain functional for 5 years or we will fix it – absolutely free!

Although uncommon, implants can develop problems. This includes loss of bone or gum because of uncontrolled gum disease, overload, or other reasons.

*Conditions and limitations
If an implant fails to integrate we will replace it at no cost, one time only. An annual implant examination including X-rays and regular dental cleanings (every 6 months minimum) in our office is an absolute requirement for this warranty to apply. This warranty does not apply to smokers (including vapers) or to persons who have, or who develop, an uncontrolled systemic health problem, such as, but not limited to, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, severe osteoporosis or any condition requiring long-term steroid use. This warranty does not apply if an implant has failed due to an accident (car accident, etc.). If smoking or a medical condition is suspected as the cause of implant failure or other complication that requires treatment, a medical examination and appropriate blood tests will be required for this warranty to apply.
