Implants and All-on-4

Most adults who are missing one or more teeth can be candidates. Healthy gums and enough jawbone to support the implant matter most. Dr. Balani confirms this with an exam and imaging at your consultation.
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of teeth with a set supported by four implants. Ask Dr. Balani whether it is right for you.
A bone graft can rebuild the area so it can support an implant. Read more in our guide, Will I need a bone graft for dental implants?
Brush and floss them like natural teeth, and keep up with regular cleanings and exams so the gums and bone around them stay healthy.

4 questions

Emergencies

Yes. Call (603) 484-9595 and our team will help you get seen as soon as possible.
Severe tooth pain, a cracked or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, bleeding that will not stop, or swelling in your gums or face. If you are not sure, call us.
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly with water. Do not scrub it. Keep it moist in milk and call us right away, because time matters.
If swelling makes it hard to breathe or swallow, if bleeding will not stop, or if you have a serious injury to the face or jaw, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room first.
