First, dental procedures, understandably, can create anxiety and fear in some people. We all have heard the stories about how everyone ‘hates to go to the dentist’. Many times those fears are based on the fact that, despite many trips to the dentist and the outlay of significant funds, people continue to have problems and need to have continual treatment. Sometimes this treatment can be lengthy, time consuming and painful. Since most dental disease is chronic and has the ability to reoccur, people become fearful and frustrated – it’s like they are on the ‘dental merry-go-round’ and just can’t get off. Sometimes people’s teeth get in the way of them getting what they want – be it a gorgeous smile, a more active lifestyle or the freedom from pain and dental problems. The power of the All-On-Four procedure is that it provides freedom – freedom from many of the chronic dental diseases that badger people over time, produce needless suffering and pain and deplete financial resources; freedom from dental fear.
Secondly, the power of the All-On-Four is that this procedure can be completed in one appointment – the bad teeth can be removed, implants placed and new teeth attached to the implants, all in the same day. Because our surgeons are Oral Surgeons, specialists in surgery and anesthesia, these procedures can be accomplished in a comfortable environment, under sedation – you go to sleep with bad teeth and wake up later with new teeth–and gone are all those chronic problems associated with failing teeth. People fear the dentist many times because of bad experiences with pain and discomfort during dental procedures. With sedation provided by our surgical specialists, those ‘bad experiences’ are a thing of the past.
