At Anthem Hills Dental in Henderson, NV, we believe everyone deserves a complete, confident smile that empowers them to enjoy life fully. Proudly serving our active 55+ community since 2004, Dr. Michael Wilson is dedicated to providing world-class dentistry that feels good, looks completely natural, and lasts a long time. In our welcoming, clean, and up-to-date practice, you are always treated as an honored guest. We respect your schedule by promising to be on time and efficient, and we always begin by simply listening to your unique needs and wants. If you are struggling with extensive tooth loss, All-On-4 is a revolutionary full-arch solution.
The Mechanics Behind All-On-4®
When replacing an entire upper or lower set of teeth, you do not need an implant for every single missing tooth. The All-On-4 method strategically places just four titanium implants into your jawbone to securely anchor a complete, custom prosthetic. By angling the rear implants, we maximize the use of your naturally available bone, often eliminating the need for extensive bone grafting while providing unparalleled structural support.
Outstanding Benefits & Full-Arch Advantages
We always advise our patients to do it right the first time and never cut corners. Upgrading to a permanently anchored smile offers life-changing benefits:
- Unmatched security: Your new teeth will never slip or require messy adhesives.
- Preserved bone health: The titanium posts actively stimulate your jaw, preventing facial collapse and bone loss.
- Restored bite power: You can confidently chew your favorite crunchy and chewy foods again.
- Palate freedom: Unlike traditional upper dentures, this sleek prosthetic leaves the roof of your mouth open so you can fully taste your meals.
Are You A Candidate For Full-Arch Restoration?
If you currently wear traditional dentures or have failing teeth due to advanced decay or periodontal disease along your gumline, you are likely a wonderful candidate for this procedure. During your consultation, we use state-of-the-art iTero digital scanners and CBCT 3D imaging to capture highly detailed digital x-rays of your jaw. This advanced technology helps us carefully evaluate your bone density and design a safe, predictable treatment plan.
Navigating Treatment & The Healing Journey
We know that dental anxiety is real, so we make this restorative process as relaxing as possible. After meticulous digital planning, we gently place the titanium implants into your jaw. Over the following months, these implants naturally fuse with your bone to create a permanent, incredibly strong foundation. Dr. Wilson utilizes his extensive training from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies to ensure your final bite alignment is completely perfect and incredibly comfortable.
Your Same-Day Smile Transformation
One of the most remarkable aspects of this procedure is the immediate turnaround. In many cases, we can extract any remaining failing teeth, place the implants, and attach a temporary full-arch prosthetic all in a single, same-day visit. You will walk out of our office with a beautifully restored, functional smile while your mouth heals and your final, premium porcelain teeth are handcrafted by the absolute best local lab. In fact, Dr. Wilson has this exact same high-quality lab work in his own mouth!
Daily Care For Your Implant-Supported Teeth
Maintaining your revitalized smile is wonderfully simple. You will care for your new teeth much like natural ones by brushing twice daily. We also recommend using a specialized water flosser to easily sweep away plaque and food particles from beneath the prosthetic and around your delicate gumline, keeping the entire area completely clean and healthy.
Enjoying Long-Term Success & Vitality
To ensure your new teeth last a long time, dedicated maintenance is essential. We highly encourage you to strictly attend your routine check-ups so our dedicated team can monitor your healing and provide professional hygiene therapy. If you have a habit of clenching or grinding your teeth, we may also custom-fit you for nightguards to protect your beautiful new investment while you sleep.
