All-on-4 Dental Implants in Sycamore, IL

If you are missing most or all of your teeth, All-on-4 dental implants provide a long-term solution that restores both your smile and quality of life. At Collins Dental Group, we offer All-on-4 dental implants in Sycamore, IL to give patients a stable, natural-looking, and fully functional set of teeth—often in a single day.

This advanced treatment uses just four strategically placed dental implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. The result is a fixed, non-removable solution that looks and functions like natural teeth. It’s ideal for patients who want to avoid the slipping and discomfort associated with traditional dentures.

All-on-4 is often referred to as “teeth in a day” because, in many cases, a temporary prosthesis can be placed immediately after implant surgery—so you leave with a functional smile the same day.

All-on-4 offers significant advantages for patients with extensive tooth loss:

• Requires only four implants per arch for full-mouth restoration
  
  
• Offers immediate results with same-day temporary teeth in many cases
  
  
• Eliminates the need for removable dentures
  
  
• Preserves jawbone density and facial structure
  
  
• Improves ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently
  
  
• Lower cost than placing individual implants for each missing tooth

Patients who may not have enough bone for conventional implants often qualify for All-on-4 due to the angled placement of the implants. For more complex cases, we also offer bone grafting to build up the jawbone and increase treatment success.

At Collins Dental Group, our team—including Dr. Cornell McCollum, our in-house oral surgeon—provides full-scope implant treatment, including surgical placement and final restorations.

1. Consultation & 3D Imaging: We begin with a full oral evaluation and digital scans to determine if All-on-4 is right for you.
   
   
2. Treatment Planning: Using advanced planning software and 3D CT scanning, we map the optimal implant positions for stability and longevity.
   
   
3. Implant Placement: Four dental implants are placed into the jawbone—two vertically in the front, and two angled in the back.
   
   
4. Immediate Prosthetic: A temporary set of teeth is attached the same day in most cases, allowing you to leave with a complete smile.
   
   
5. Final Restoration: After healing, you’ll return for your permanent prosthetic, designed to look and feel just like natural teeth.

For patients with failing dentures or multiple missing teeth, All-on-4 is a transformative option. It offers greater comfort and function than removable options like full or partial dentures.

You may be a candidate for All-on-4 if you:

• Are missing all or most of your upper or lower teeth
  
  
• Have failing teeth and want a permanent solution
  
  
• Are currently wearing dentures but want more stability
  
  
• Are in generally good health and able to undergo oral surgery
  
  
• Have sufficient bone structure or are open to oral surgery or bone grafting

We’ll work with you to evaluate your health history, goals, and lifestyle to determine the best treatment approach.

FAQs About All-on-4 Dental Implants

1. How long does the All-on-4 procedure take?: The surgery itself typically takes a few hours per arch. In most cases, a temporary set of teeth is placed the same day, with permanent restorations added after healing.
   
   
2. Is All-on-4 more affordable than full-mouth implants?: Yes. All-on-4 requires only four implants per arch, making it more cost-effective than placing individual implants for every missing tooth.
   
   
3. Does All-on-4 require bone grafting?: Often, no. The angled implant placement allows many patients to avoid grafting. However, bone grafting may be needed in some cases.
   
   
4. How do I care for All-on-4 implants?: Care involves brushing twice a day, using a water flosser, and scheduling regular cleanings at our office. These are permanent teeth and should be treated like natural teeth.
   
   
5. Can I get All-on-4 on both upper and lower arches?: Yes. Many patients receive All-on-4 for both arches for full-mouth restoration, improving bite alignment, chewing function, and appearance.
