How Long Does the All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure Take in NJ?

Learn about the All-on-4 procedure timeline, from the initial consultation to receiving your fixed new teeth, often in just one day, at our Rochelle Park office.

The "Teeth-in-a-Day" Concept Explained

One of the most appealing aspects of the All-on-4 dental implants procedure is the potential for immediate results, often referred to as "teeth-in-a-day." Patients considering this full arch restoration are understandably curious about how long the actual procedure takes. At Perfected Smiles in Rochelle Park, NJ, Dr. Jason Schepis and Dr. Ryan Maher utilize meticulous planning and advanced techniques to make this transformative process efficient and predictable. While the main surgical and restorative steps often occur in one day, the entire journey involves several phases.

Phase 1: Consultation and Advanced Planning

The journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. This appointment involves a detailed dental exam, 3D CBCT scans of your jawbone, and a discussion of your goals. Dr. Schepis or Dr. Maher will use this information to determine your candidacy for All-on-4 and digitally plan the precise placement of the four implants. This crucial planning phase, which may involve a couple of visits, ensures the actual surgery day runs smoothly and efficiently. This planning is key for patients looking for All-on-4 dental implants NJ.

Phase 2: The Procedure Day

The actual All-on-4 procedure day is when the transformation happens. This appointment typically takes several hours. If any failing teeth remain, they are gently extracted first. Then, the four titanium dental implants are precisely placed into the jawbone according to the pre-operative digital plan. Following implant placement, abutments (connectors) are attached, and impressions or scans are taken for your provisional bridge. Often, while you rest comfortably, our team or an on-site lab technician will fabricate your custom temporary bridge, which is then securely attached to the implants before you leave the office.

Phase 3: Healing and Final Restoration

You leave the procedure day with a fixed, functional, and beautiful set of temporary teeth. Over the next 3-6 months, the crucial process of osseointegration occurs as your jawbone fuses with the implants. You'll have several follow-up appointments during this time to monitor healing. Once osseointegration is complete, you'll return for the creation and placement of your final, permanent bridge, which is typically crafted from highly durable Zirconia for superior aesthetics and strength. This final step involves a few shorter appointments over several weeks.

Experience an Efficient Smile Transformation

The ability to receive a fixed set of teeth on the same day as surgery is a major advantage of the All-on-4 technique. Dr. Jason Schepis and Dr. Ryan Maher leverage their expertise and technology to make the process as efficient as possible. Ready for a rapid smile transformation?
