Love Your Smile

Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

Dental implants are the clear easy choice for a secure, confident smile.  

Are you, or someone you know, missing all or some teeth in one or both arches?  If your answer is YES, you're not alone!  The good news is, dental implants will restore your smile.  With your new tooth implants, you can eat the foods you love again, and at the same time, preserve bone levels in your jaw for a more youthful you.

Implant Denture vs. Traditional Removable Full or Partial Denture

An implant denture (sometimes called a full arch implant bridge) means no more food getting caught underneath your removable dentures. No more sticky adhesives. And no more putting your teeth in a glass at the end of each day.

With your new dental implants, you don't need to settle for ill-fitting, poorly functioning, or unsecured teeth.

1 Stop - Same Day Dental Implants Dentures

The dental implant dentures we design and surgically place at Allstar Implants Plus give you a new secure smile, so you can eat the foods you love and feel confident again.

The type of full arch dental implants you consider depends on your lifestyle and your budget.

All on 4 :  Screw-In Full Arch

One option you can select is permanent all on 4 dental implants that are screw-in. With this option, only the dentist can unscrew and remove your full arch of artificial teeth. Although costlier, many people choose to invest in the screw-in all on 4 implants, because similar to your natural teeth, you can’t independently remove the new teeth. 

All on X : Snap-In Full Arch

Alternatively, you might want to consider dental implants that securely snap into place (instead of screw) a full arch of artificial teeth. This option is often called ‘all on X’ dental implants or ‘all on 6’ dental implants—and sometimes even called ‘all on 4’ dental implants. Confusing, right?!

The important thing to keep in mind is that you’ll have 4—or more—dental implants per arch that are surgically placed to support your new teeth. Your dental implant surgeon makes this determination based on your bone levels.

In addition to being less costly than the screw-in dental implants, many people choose the snap-in option because you can remove your full arch of artificial teeth. Once unsnapped, you can clean the area around your dental implants at home (similar to brushing your natural teeth) to help keep bacteria at bay.  When you're ready, you simply snap your new teeth securely back into place again. 

Same Day Teeth

No matter which dental implant option you choose, rest assured that at Allstar Implants Plus, once your natural teeth are removed, you won't have to go without any teeth. On the day of your surgery, we’ll have your new teeth ready so that you don’t miss a beat!

Dental Implants FAQ - What You Want to Know

Dental implants have been used for over 40 years to replace missing teeth, and are safe with a well-documented overall success rate.

A dental implant is a small post made of titanium, a biocompatible material that our bodies won't reject, that is placed in your jawbone.

As it bonds with the bone, it serves as a replacement for the root portion of the missing teeth, providing strength and stability for your new restorations (teeth).  Dental implants can support a single tooth, a dental bridge (for 1 or more missing teeth), or a full arch of teeth, from one side to the other.

Most people are candidates for dental implants.  You might think you're not a candidate for implants if you've worn dentures for years and experienced some bone loss, but bone grafting can build up the bone to support implants. 

A  three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (3D CBCT) scan of your jaw bone areas is an essential first step in determining if you're a candidate for dental implants.  The 3D CBCT scan is the only way to see the cross-sectional and three-dimensional view of your jaw and any existing teeth so that an accurate evaluation of your jawbone can be made.

Yes.  Typical digital x-rays are two-dimensional (flat) black and white images, even if the x-ray scan is taken from one side of your jaw around your head to the other side.    While a typical x-ray might provide some initial clues about your bone, it doesn’t allow us to determine the breadth (width), depth (length), or density (thickness) of your jawbone areas with accuracy. 

A three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (3D CBCT) scan of your jaw bone areas is the only way to see the cross-sectional and three-dimensional view of your jaw and any existing teeth.  With the 3D CBCT, your implant surgeon will assess the quality of your bone, the need for additional bone grafting, and where the dental implant(s) can be optimally placed in your jaw bone, without disruption to critical nerve and sinus areas.

As an added benefit, from your 3D CBCT scan, we will create a custom surgical guide based on the virtual placement of your implants in the 3D CBCT scan we take, so that the surgical placement of your implants is precise, predictable, and comfortable for you. 

In areas where teeth are missing, the jawbone progressively shrinks over time, so bone grafting might be needed if you don't have enough bone volume to anchor one or more implants.

A primary advantage of dental implants is that their placement stimulates the jaw bone, similar to the root structure of your natural teeth, which prevents bone deterioration (or shrinkage) that occurs when teeth are missing.  By preserving your jaw bone, dental implants help maintain your facial support, and prevent sagging that makes you look older prematurely.

Dental implants also look and feel like natural teeth.  Since a dental implant becomes anchored securely as it integrates into your jaw bone (referred to as osseointegration), teeth secured by implants function far better than traditional removable full or partial dentures, allowing you to smile, bite and chew with confidence and ease.

Once your dental implants have been surgically placed, the time it takes for the implant to integrate with your  jawbone (osseointegration) will rarely be less than four months.  In most instances, it will take up to 6 months for osseointegration, although in some cases this process will extend past six months.
