Frequently Asked Questions

How long do All-On-4 dental implants last?

All-on-4 dental implants are a permanent dental solution to replace missing teeth. With proper oral care, biannual checkups, and professional cleanings, the implants can last a lifetime.

How long will my new smile last?

Traditionally, all in 4 dentures are made of acrylic, which lasts between 5-10 years. But your permanent new smiles treatment at Stafford Prosthodontics will use state of the art material: ceramic zirconium, which can last for a whole lifetime if cared for properly.

How long is the recovery following the All-On-4 procedure?

The recovery period following an All-On-4 procedure varies from patient to patient. However, many patients can resume normal activities within a few days following their procedure.

Here are some helpful tips to ensure a proper recovery:

    • Stay hydrated
    • Use an ice pack to reduce any pain or swelling
    • Maintain a good oral hygiene routine
    • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush
    • Limit any physical activity for the first few days
    • Avoid rinsing, spitting, or touching your incisions on the day of your procedure
