The surgery takes about two hours and can be completed entirely in our office under general anesthesia. Because all the implants are placed simultaneously, it is an excellent option for anyone who isn't too fond of visiting a dentist or wants to get it all done at once. General anesthesia allows the patient to be completely comfortable during the entire process.
Using traditional implants to replace an entire set of teeth typically requires about 12 dental implants, bone grafting, and at least six months of healing before your mouth is ready for final teeth. With the All On 4 dental implants Glenview & Northbrook approach, the implants and temporary teeth are installed at the same time, and permanent porcelain teeth are ready within 4-6 months.
