FULL MOUTH DENTAL IMPLANTS
An extraordinary procedure has been developed that permits the placement of 4 dental implants and a fixed bridge in as little as one appointment. In its most extraordinary application, an entire mouthful of teeth may be replaced with implants and non-removable set of new teeth in one-day. This procedure is called “Teeth-In-A-Day”. The same technique may be used for the replacement of a single missing tooth.

Teeth-In-A-Day is an alternative to placing a top or bottom set of replacement teeth, called a full arch. Four dental implants are placed in available bone, avoiding the need for bone grafting. Special abutments are used so that a temporary set of replacement teeth can be placed the same day. You follow a modified diet while the gum tissues heal and the implants bond with your natural bone. In about 12-16 weeks the permanent replacement teeth will be placed and you can resume a regular diet.
The Teeth-In-A-Day dental implant protocol is the most advanced and technically demanding procedure in all of implant dentistry. This is not a procedure that you want to trust to someone who simply “dabbles” in dental implants. If you are considering this procedure, carefully check the credentials of your dentist.
The Teeth-In-A-Day dental implant procedure has a documented long term success rate that exceeds 99% in some published studies. Dr. Holtan believes dental implants are a reliable solution and provides each patient with a written warranty supporting his beliefs.
While dentures are less expensive than teeth in a day supported implants, dentures are typically poorly fitting, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful. Dentures often negatively affect your speech and sometimes have damaging psychological effects. Dental implants are permanent and offer a much better quality of life.

WHAT IS THE “TEETH IN A DAY” DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT?
All-on-Four is a comprehensive dental implant solution that involves placing four titanium implants into the jawbone. These implants serve as the foundation for a full set of prosthetic teeth, typically within a single day. The treatment is designed for patients who have lost or are about to lose most of their teeth, and it eliminates the need for removable dentures or multiple individual implants.
Here’s how it works:
- Four implants are placed strategically in the upper and/or lower jaw.
- These implants are placed at an angle, which allows for maximum bone utilization, even if there’s bone loss.
- A full arch of prosthetic teeth is securely attached to these implants.
- The result is a permanent, stable set of teeth that function and look like natural teeth.
WHY CHOOSE ALL-ON-FOUR?
1. IMMEDIATE RESULTS & MINIMAL DOWNTIME
One of the biggest advantages of All-on-Four implants is the ability to have your full set of teeth in place the same day as the procedure, eliminating the need to go without teeth during healing. Unlike traditional implants, which may take months to heal and require multiple stages, All-on-Four is completed in a single appointment and provides immediate cosmetic and functional results.
2. MAXIMIZE BONE UTILIZATION
Many people who lose teeth also suffer from bone resorption, where the jawbone shrinks and deteriorates. Traditional implants may not be an option in these cases due to insufficient bone. However, the All-on-Four technique uses angulated implants to make use of the stronger bone areas, eliminating the need for costly bone grafting procedures.
3. STABLE, LONG-LASTING SOLUTION
Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip and move around, All-on-Four implants are securely anchored in the jaw. This stability ensures that you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence without worrying about your teeth shifting or causing discomfort.
4. NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS
All-on-Four implants are custom-designed to match the appearance of your natural teeth, providing you with a smile that looks, feels, and functions just like your original teeth. With advanced materials like porcelain or zirconia used for prosthetic teeth, they are durable, stain-resistant, and highly aesthetic.
5. IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE
Living with missing teeth or dentures can affect your confidence and even limit your ability to enjoy your favorite foods. All-on-Four implants provide a fixed solution that lets you regain the freedom to eat what you love, smile without hesitation, and engage in social activities without feeling self-conscious.
6. COST-EFFECTIVE
Compared to traditional implants, which may require a larger number of individual implants, bone grafts, and multiple visits, All-on-Four offers a more affordable and efficient solution. With fewer implants needed and a faster treatment timeline, the cost of All-on-Four can be more manageable for many patients.
