Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

We understand that dental implant surgery can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or an entire arch, there’s likely a solution for you. Every step at Gentle Dentistry is designed with your comfort and peace of mind at the center.

You May Be a Great Candidate If You…

  • Have lost most or all of your teeth in one or both arches
  • Have teeth that are severely damaged, decayed, or failing
  • Wear dentures that slip, cause soreness, or limit what you can eat
  • Have been told you lack bone for traditional implants (All-on-4 often works with less bone)
  • Want a permanent solution that feels and functions like natural teeth
  • Are generally in good health and committed to oral hygiene

Things We’ll Evaluate Together

  • Current bone density and jaw structure (assessed with 3D imaging)
  • Gum health and any active infections that need treatment first
  • Overall medical history, including conditions like diabetes or heart disease
  • Medications that may affect healing, such as blood thinners
  • Smoking habits — quitting significantly improves implant success
  • Your personal goals and expectations for your new smile

Common Questions

What are All-on-Four dental implants?
All-on-Four is a revolutionary dental implant technique that replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. These implants support a fixed, permanent bridge that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth — allowing you to eat, smile, and live without compromise.
How is All-on-Four different from traditional dentures?
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-Four implants are permanently fixed in place. There’s no slipping, no adhesives, and no removing them at night. They restore full chewing power, so you can eat the foods you love. They also help preserve your jawbone and facial structure, preventing the sunken look that often comes with denture use over time.
How long does the All-on-Four procedure take?
In many cases, the implants and a temporary set of teeth can be placed in a single day. After a healing period of several months, your final, custom-crafted permanent teeth are placed. The exact timeline depends on your individual situation, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the experience is. The procedure is performed under anesthesia with sedation options available, so you feel little to no discomfort during treatment. Afterward, most patients manage any soreness with over-the-counter pain relievers and are back to their routine within a few days.
How long do All-on-Four implants last?
With proper care, All-on-Four implants can last decades — many patients enjoy them for a lifetime. The implants themselves are made from biocompatible titanium that fuses with your jawbone, creating a permanent foundation. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene help ensure long-lasting results.
How much do All-on-Four implants cost?
The cost varies depending on your specific needs. During your consultation, we provide transparent pricing and discuss all your options. We also partner with Cherry, CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and Sunbit to offer flexible payment plans that fit your budget — because financial stress should never stand between you and a healthy smile.
What can I eat with All-on-Four implants?
Once your permanent teeth are in place, you can eat virtually anything — steak, apples, corn on the cob, and all the foods you may have been avoiding. All-on-Four restores up to 90% of your natural chewing power, which is a dramatic improvement over dentures.
