At Tropical Smiles Dental, our experienced dentist proudly offer All-on-4 dental implants, an innovative solution for patients seeking a full, natural-looking smile restoration. Dr. Melissa Nitta combines precision, artistry and advanced technology to help patients regain the function and beauty of their smiles—all with fewer implants and faster recovery.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are a modern restorative treatment designed to replace a full arch of missing teeth using only four strategically placed implants. These implants act as anchors for a permanent, fixed bridge that looks, feels and functions like natural teeth.
The procedure provides a stable and durable foundation for patients who have lost multiple teeth or wear traditional dentures. By maximizing existing bone structure, All-on-4 implants often eliminate the need for bone grafting, making the process faster and more efficient than conventional implant methods.
When Are All-on-4 Implants Recommended?
Our dentist may recommend All-on-4 implants for patients who:
- Are missing most or all of their teeth in one or both arches
- Are currently wearing removable dentures but want a more permanent solution
- Have sufficient bone structure for implant placement
- Want to restore natural chewing function and facial aesthetics
This treatment is ideal for patients seeking a long-lasting, comfortable alternative to dentures. All-on-4 implants restore full function, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with renewed confidence.
The All-on-4 Treatment Process
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation at Tropical Smiles Dental, where our dentist perform a detailed examination and take digital imaging to assess your jawbone and oral health. A personalized treatment plan is then created to ensure optimal results.
During the procedure, four implants are precisely placed in the jaw—two at the front and two angled at the back—to maximize stability. A custom temporary bridge is typically attached the same day, allowing you to leave our office with a beautiful, functional smile.
After a healing period, your permanent prosthesis is secured to the implants, completing your transformation. The result is a natural-looking, fully functional smile designed to last for many years.
