Why All-on-4s in San Antonio Could Change Your Life
All-on-4s are a full arch solution that uses just four strategically placed implants to securely support an entire set of replacement teeth. This approach is often faster than traditional implant methods, helping you skip the long waiting periods and multiple surgeries that other options require. The result? A stable, natural-looking smile that lets you get back to living your life without constant worry about your teeth.
Here’s what makes All-on-4s stand out:
- Fewer implants needed – Just four per arch instead of one for every missing tooth
- Faster timeline – Often completed in far less time than traditional implants
- Permanent stability – No slipping, clicking, or uncomfortable movement
- Natural appearance – Custom-designed to look and feel like your real teeth
- Bone preservation – Helps maintain your jaw structure and facial appearance
This solution is ideal for people missing most or all of their teeth on one or both arches, or anyone who’s tired of dealing with dentures that slip, pinch, or need constant adjusting. It’s a reliable path to regaining the confidence that comes with a complete, easy-to-maintain smile.
How the All-on-4s Process Works
Getting All-on-4s starts with understanding your unique situation. During your consultation with Dr. Cavazos, we’ll evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan just for you. Using digital imaging, we can map out exactly where your implants will go for maximum stability and comfort.
The procedure itself involves placing four titanium implants in your jawbone—these act as sturdy anchors for your new teeth. The back implants are often angled to maximize bone contact, which is especially helpful if you’ve experienced bone loss. After a healing period where the implants fuse with your jaw, you’ll receive your permanent set of teeth that look natural and feel secure.
Many patients are surprised by how straightforward the process is. We design everything for less waiting and more convenience, so you spend less time in the dental chair and more time enjoying your restored smile.
Say Goodbye to Denture Frustrations Forever
If you’ve been living with traditional dentures, you know the daily struggles they bring. Loose dentures make eating steak or corn on the cob feel like a risky gamble. You might avoid certain foods entirely, or feel self-conscious about your dentures slipping while you’re talking or laughing with friends.
With All-on-4s, those frustrations become a thing of the past. Unlike removable dentures that can slip, click, or cause painful sore spots, All-on-4s are firmly anchored in place—all day, every day. That means you can laugh freely, speak clearly, and eat your favorite foods without a second thought. No adhesives required, no worrying about a plate popping out at the wrong moment.
The stability factor alone transforms daily life for most patients. You’ll rediscover foods you’ve been avoiding and feel comfortable in social situations again. Many patients tell us they notice the difference immediately—no more awkward moments or second-guessing whether their smile will hold up.
The Long-Term Benefits You Can Count On
Beyond the immediate improvements, All-on-4s offer lasting advantages that protect your oral health for years to come. The implants stimulate your jawbone just like natural tooth roots, helping prevent the bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth. This preservation maintains your facial structure and prevents that sunken appearance that can develop over time.
Your new teeth are also remarkably easy to care for. You’ll brush and floss similarly to natural teeth, without the hassle of removing dentures or dealing with special cleaning solutions. Regular dental checkups keep everything in great shape, and with proper care, your All-on-4s can last for decades.
The investment you make today pays dividends in improved quality of life, better nutrition (since you can eat a fuller variety of foods), and the confidence that comes from a smile you’re proud to share.
