Dr. Sahil Goyal provides the All-On-Four dental implant concept to his Columbia, MD dental patients as a modern alternative to traditional dentures. This procedure can use as few as four dental implants to support a full denture. Dr. Goyal strategically places the implants to eliminate the need for bone grafting. All-On-Four is often a solution for most patients, including those with compromised bone or soft tissue health that may have been previously precluded from receiving dental implants.
All On Four is a comprehensive approach to tooth replacement. It relies on in-depth treatment planning and digital diagnostics that make it possible for our team to place your new smile in one visit. Any necessary tooth extractions can also be perfomed that day. You will leave our office with a temporary denture that is fully functional, giving you a new smile the same day.
Is the All-On-Four Implant Concept Right For Me?
This implant method replaces upper or lower teeth. All On Four uses smaller implants and is often ideal for patients who are not good candidates for traditional dental implants because they have significant bone loss in the back of the jaw. Dr. Goyal will perform a full dental evaluation to determine if this solution suits you. He may use x-rays and CT scans to determine the health of your jaw bone. We will also discuss your budget, dental health, and goals to determine if the All-On-Four concept fits your needs.
All-On-Four Treatment: what to expect.
Dr. Goyal uses digital dental technology to evaluate the condition of your smile. Digital technology also allows him to map the strategic placement of dental implants. Our technology offers more predictable results and an increased patient success rate. The number of dental implants and placement depends on your unique needs.
At the end of the procedure, we will attach a hybrid denture to the implants that will remain in place for several months and allow the gums to adjust to the fit of the appliance. After a healing period of several months, you will come back for new digital impressions. These will be used to create your final cosmetic hybrid denture which will offer a lasting, comfortable fit. This two-step approach to your denture minimizes long-term irritation of the gums and changes in the fit of a denture over time.

All-On-Four Implant Dentures Vs. Traditional Dentures
If you are experiencing difficulty wearing a removable denture, you may benefit from the All-On-Four process and placement of a secure, permanent denture. A highly trained and experienced implant dentist, Dr. Goyal can secure a new denture with the placement of several dental implants. With this method, the dentist will strategically place four or more implants to provide stability and durability. The result is a new denture will not slip or move around while you are speaking or eating. It will also stabilize the jaw bone to help prevent bone loss in the jaw. This will help hold the natural shape of your face and prevent premature aging.
