All-On-4 Dental Implants in Oklahoma City, OK
If years of missing or failing teeth have changed the way you eat, speak, or smile, Present Dental offers a lasting way forward. Our team provides All-On-4 Dental Implants to patients across Oklahoma City, OK, rebuilding a full arch of teeth on just four securely placed posts. It is a proven path to a stable, natural-looking smile, and we would love to show you what it can do for your confidence and comfort.
What Are All-On-4 Implants?
All-On-4 implants replace a full arch of missing teeth using four titanium posts that support a fixed, non-removable bridge. Instead of resting on the gums like a traditional denture, the new teeth anchor directly to your jawbone, so they look, feel, and function much like natural ones.
The four posts are angled to take advantage of the densest available bone, which often removes the need for bone grafting. The result is a full-mouth restoration with fewer implants, less surgery, and a shorter overall timeline than replacing every tooth one at a time.
How Do All-On-4 Implants Work?
Four implants per arch act as sturdy anchors, and a custom bridge of teeth attaches on top. Here is how the design comes together:
- Two implants are placed toward the front of the jaw, where bone is naturally denser
- Two more are angled toward the back to maximize support and stability
- A connecting framework and a full arch of teeth secure to those posts
- The finished bridge stays fixed in place and is removed only by your dentist
Because the posts gradually fuse with the jawbone, your full-arch implants become a permanent part of your mouth. That stability is what separates this option from removable plates that shift or click.
Am I a Good Candidate for Full-Arch Implants?
Most adults who are missing several teeth, wear uncomfortable dentures, or face losing their remaining teeth are candidates for full-arch implants. The angled placement technique means many people who were told they lacked bone for traditional implants still qualify.
- You are missing most or all of the teeth in one or both arches
- Your current dentures slip, cause sore spots, or make eating difficult
- You have healthy gums, or gum disease that can be treated first
- You want a permanent alternative to removable plates
During your visit we use 3D imaging to map your bone and plan every implant position with precision. A one-on-one exam with Dr. Bryan Blankenship is the best way to confirm whether this treatment fits your needs and goals.
What Happens During the All-On-4 Procedure?
The procedure is completed in a single surgical visit, and most patients leave the same day with a temporary set of fixed teeth. The visit generally follows these steps:
- We begin with digital scans and imaging to finalize your treatment plan
- Any failing or damaged teeth are gently removed
- Four implants are placed at precise angles in each treated arch
- A temporary bridge is attached so you leave with teeth that day
- After healing, we place your final, custom-made bridge
Our intraoral scanner lets us design your new smile without messy impressions.
Can I Really Get New Teeth in a Single Day?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of this treatment is that you walk out with a full set of fixed teeth on the same day as surgery. You will not go home without teeth.
These are known as same-day dental implants because the temporary bridge is placed immediately after the posts are set. Your temporary teeth let you eat softer foods and smile with confidence while the implants fuse with your bone over the next few months. Once healing is complete, we replace the temporary with a stronger, permanent bridge crafted for a natural look and long-term durability. Many patients describe this as getting teeth in a day without the years-long wait of other implant methods.
How Much Do All-On-4 Implants Cost?
The cost depends on how many arches you treat, whether extractions are needed, and the materials chosen for your final bridge, so we provide a clear, itemized estimate before any treatment begins.
Transparency is one of our core values. While a full-mouth restoration is an investment, it often costs less over time than repeatedly repairing or replacing traditional dentures. Many dental insurance plans contribute toward part of the treatment, and our team will review your benefits and walk you through financing options so the numbers are never a surprise.
All-On-4 Implants vs. Traditional Dentures: What Is the Difference?
The key difference is stability. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and can slip, while All-On-4 teeth lock onto implants and stay put. A few clear contrasts stand out:
- Fit: fixed and secure versus removable and prone to shifting
- Bone health: implants stimulate and preserve bone, while dentures do not
- Eating: chew nearly any food versus limits on hard or sticky items
- Care: brush like natural teeth versus nightly soaking and adhesives
- Comfort: no palate coverage, so taste and comfort improve
For patients who want the closest thing to natural teeth, implant-supported dentures and fixed bridges offer a level of freedom removable plates simply cannot match. If you are weighing your choices, our team can walk you through our dental implant options side by side during your visit.
How Do I Care for My Implant-Supported Teeth?
Caring for your new teeth is refreshingly simple. Brush twice a day, clean around the bridge, and keep up with regular dental visits. A steady routine keeps everything healthy:
- Brush your bridge and gums morning and night
- Use a water flosser or special brushes to clean beneath the bridge
- Visit us for routine cleanings and checkups
- Avoid using your teeth as tools to prevent unnecessary wear
Because there are no plates to remove, your daily routine feels much like caring for natural teeth. We will show you exactly how to keep everything clean, and our full menu of dental services supports your smile long after treatment is complete.
