What to expect with All-on-4, step by step
Knowing the steps ahead of time helps when you are planning drives from Maury County.
- Free implant consult: an exam, a talk about your goals, and whether fixed or removable teeth suit you.
- 3D scan and planning: 3D imaging in our office shows your bone so implants can be planned carefully.
- Implant surgery in one visit: for All-on-4, you sleep through the surgery under general anesthesia provided by a board-certified anesthesiologist. In most cases you leave the same day with a temporary set of fixed teeth.
- Healing, about four months: the implants bond with the jawbone.
- Your final teeth: final zirconia All-on-4 teeth, or your final snap-on denture, are placed after healing.
Times and steps vary from person to person, and your consult and 3D imaging decide your plan. Individual results vary.
Dr. Blourchian has had his own practice since 1992, and your implant care happens here in our Franklin office, from the free consult and 3D imaging to your final teeth.
