Question 1

How long do All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, they can last a lifetime. Our fixed hybrid prosthetics carry a Lifetime Warranty as long as you keep up with recommended hygiene visits and ongoing care. Brushing, flossing, a water flosser, and regular checkups protect the result.

Question 2

Will I leave with teeth the same day?

Accepted Answer

Many patients receive a temporary full-arch bridge on the day the implants are placed, so they leave with fixed teeth while healing begins. The full process, including healing, takes 4 to 6 months. Your final prosthesis is attached once the implants have fused with the bone.

Question 3

Is the procedure painful?

Accepted Answer

Implants are placed under local anesthesia, with sedation available if you would like it. Most patients describe minor discomfort during recovery, which is manageable. We review comfort options with you before implant day.

Question 4

What if I was told I do not have enough bone?

Accepted Answer

Bone grafting can rebuild jawbone density and make implants possible. We assess bone with X-rays or a 3D scan at your consultation and tell you whether grafting is part of your plan. Grafts typically heal over three to six months before the next phase.
