All-On-4 Dental Implants
Welcome to Iconic Smiles, where we specialize in providing advanced dental solutions like All-on-4 dental implants. Dr. Daniel Avezoff and our team in Bellerose, NY, are dedicated to offering this transformative procedure to those looking for a reliable, long-lasting solution for tooth replacement.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are a revolutionary approach to full-arch tooth replacement. This technique involves using just four implants to support an entire arch of teeth, providing a permanent, stable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for those who have lost most or all of their teeth.
Benefits of All-on-4
Choosing All-on-4 implants offers several advantages:
- Improved Comfort and Stability: More comfortable and stable than traditional dentures.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Provides a natural-looking smile.
- Bone Preservation: Helps in maintaining jawbone integrity.
- Longevity: Designed to last many years with proper care.

All-on-4 Implants vs Dentures
While dentures are a more traditional option, All-on-4 implants provide significant benefits:
- Stability: Implants are anchored in the jawbone, eliminating the risk of slipping.
- Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
- Maintenance: Easier to maintain and clean compared to dentures.
- Durability: All-on-4 implants are designed to be a long-term solution.
All-on-4 FAQs
What is the surgery recovery period like?
You’ll want to take it easy after returning home from your surgery. Swelling and discomfort are possible after your surgery, so we will provide instructions on how to manage pain and swelling. You’ll be on a soft food diet towards the beginning of your healing period. You’ll have checkups with Dr. Avezoff to determine the progress of your healing and will be instructed further on diet changes.
Can I get All-on-4 when I already have bone loss in my jaw?
Thanks to the innovative design of All-on-4 implants, certain levels of bone loss can still successfully receive the implants. The angled installation of the four implants creates a greater, more stable foundation. Have you already experienced some bone loss in your jaws? Ask Dr. Avezoff if you’re a good candidate for All-on-4 implants.
How do I clean my All-on-4 dental implants?
As with natural teeth, it is recommended to clean All-on-4 dental implants at least twice a day, but preferably after every meal. It is important to remember that dental implants are not made of the same material as natural teeth, and will require special cleaning materials. Clean out food particles with a soft toothbrush and a toothpaste designed specifically for artificial teeth or dentures. Don’t forget to floss and use a non-alcoholic mouthwash to keep your mouth free from bacteria!
