Pioneered in the 1970s, All-o-Four is a type of implant procedure has evolved over time to not only help with general restoration but to compensate for certain bone and anatomical deficiencies.

It is a unique implant procedure that involves total mouth restoration with as few as four implants. The implants work together to support multiple teeth, making it possible to restore an entire mouth without an implant for each tooth. All teeth rest on these strategically placed implants with a secure fit that provides a more natural-feeling and permanent option compared to dentures.

This cost-effective alternative to traditional implants has the added benefit of being able to be inserted within 24-hours or less of surgical extraction of a patient’s natural teeth. Insertion of the four implants is considered a minor procedure and there are relatively minimal restrictions or healing time afterwards. This is why All-on-Four is sometimes referred to as “Smile in a Day” or “Same Day Implants.”

Those who are missing all or most of their teeth are often good candidates for this procedure. At our Ajax dentist office, we are typically able to perform All-on-Four on the same day to minimize discomfort and inconvenience.

Crooked and misaligned teeth are a common issue for many people. Depending on the severity, this can deeply impact one’s appearance and confidence. In the past, braces were the only option to get significant results.

However, many people cannot commit to wearing traditional braces which can be uncomfortable, require extra care and also affect appearance. Invisalign eliminates or reduces many of the issues associated with traditional braces. Consisting of a clear, removable tray that fits snuggly over the teeth, Invisalign helps to straighten and align teeth without the unsightly metal of traditional braces.

Because they are removable, they are often easier to maintain and more comfortable as well. Typically, the Invisalign should be worn for 22 hours a day to be as effective as possible but can and should be removed while eating, brushing one’s teeth and flossing.

Singer Dental is a Preferred Provider of Invisalign. We believe in a natural, minimally invasive approach to dentistry that strives to preserve patients’ own teeth and gums. Invisalign is an ideal pairing with this philosophy as these invisible braces provide you with greater flexibility and comfort over traditional braces.

Missing, broken and damaged teeth are often more than just an issue of appearance. They can also affect your health, social confidence, ability to chew and may even cause pain. In any of these cases, full-mouth restoration can be the answer to both looking and feeling better.

At our Ajax dental office, we offer multiple options for full-mouth restoration including dentures, All-on-Four implants, traditional implants, porcelain veneers, whitening, bridges, crowns and more. For those suffering from infections in the teeth, we also offer an endodontic treatment that focuses on treating the infection and also protecting the tooth from further damage.

Some options, such as the All-on-Four implant procedure makes full-mouth restoration possible in as little as one day. This option is also more cost-effective than individual implants while providing greater permanence compared to dentures. With options such as these, many of the time and financial barriers to a healthy smile are reduced.

Our staff of experienced periodontists and other dental professionals are able to offer personalized recommendations to meet your needs, schedule, and budget.
