Living with total tooth loss does more than affect your smile, it can deeply impact your confidence, your diet, and even your speech. If you’ve been struggling with uncomfortable dentures or facing the reality of losing all your teeth, you deserve a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that allows you to reclaim your quality of life. At Lake Bluff Dental in Shorewood, Dr. Carolyn Griffin offers All-on-4 dental implants, a reliable, life-changing treatment designed to restore your full smile with comfort and care.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 implants are an advanced, full-arch restoration method that uses just four strategically placed dental implants to support a complete set of upper or lower replacement teeth. This streamlined approach to full-mouth rehabilitation gives patients a secure, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smile, without the need for individual implants for each missing tooth.

Unlike traditional dentures, which sit on top of the gums and may shift or slip while eating or speaking, All-on-4 implants are anchored into the jawbone. This provides a long-term solution that not only looks and feels like natural teeth but also promotes jawbone health and stability over time.

Why Choose All-on-4 Implants?

Patients often choose All-on-4 as a preferred treatment for total tooth loss because of the significant benefits it offers:

  • Permanence and Stability: Implants are fixed in place, no adhesives needed, so you can eat, talk, and laugh with confidence.
  • Bone Health: Implants stimulate your jawbone, preventing the bone loss often associated with traditional dentures.
  • Natural Look and Feel: Custom-crafted prosthetics deliver a smile that’s both functional and aesthetically beautiful.
  • Streamlined Process: With Dr. Griffin’s skilled approach, most patients receive a temporary fixed smile the same day as surgery.
  • Long-Term Value: With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last decades, often for life, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.

How the All-on-4 Process Works at Lake Bluff Dental

At Lake Bluff Dental, we know every patient’s journey is unique. Dr. Griffin’s personalized All-on-4 process blends artistic precision with prosthodontic expertise, ensuring your results look and feel as natural as possible.

1. Personalized Consultation

Dr. Griffin begins with an in-depth consultation at our Shorewood office, where she listens to your concerns, evaluates your oral health, and walks you through each step of the procedure. Advanced imaging is used to assess bone quality and create a custom treatment plan.

2. Surgical Placement

On the day of your procedure, four implants are securely placed into your jawbone. These implants are positioned strategically to maximize support, even for patients with limited bone volume.

3. Temporary Fixed Smile

In most cases, we’re able to place a temporary set of teeth immediately after surgery, so you leave with a full smile the same day.

4. Final Restoration

After a healing period, Dr. Griffin will design and install your final, customized prosthetic, perfected for aesthetics, comfort, and function. The result is a radiant, secure smile that feels completely your own.
