Your Perfect Smile With All-on-4®
When you lose your teeth, either one arch or both, it can be a very traumatic experience both physically and emotionally. Tooth loss occurs for several reasons such as oral trauma, periodontal disease, or just genetics.
When this happens, many people will either get a bridge or crown or opt for dentures. All of these solutions feel less than natural and can come with many unintended complications.
There is, however, a solution that is both permanent and feels, looks, and functions just like natural teeth.

The Journey Begins: Understanding All-on 4®
The All-on 4® dental implant procedure is revolutionary, offering a permanent solution for those who have lost teeth or are suffering from failing dental health. This innovative method allows for the placement of a full arch of teeth on just four implants. The result? A smile that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth in a fraction of the time.
While the All-on 4® procedure typically carries a higher initial cost compared to other tooth replacement methods, it offers superior benefits that, in the long run, make it a cost-effective solution. Dentures, over time, may end up costing the same if not more, without offering the same level of benefit.
The implants utilized in the All-on 4® procedure are stronger than natural teeth and are designed to last at least 20 years with proper maintenance, making it an excellent investment.
For anyone missing one or more arches of teeth, All-on 4® stands out as the premier solution. It provides a permanent fix to what could otherwise be a lifelong issue. However, candidates for this procedure need to meet certain criteria, including having healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implants. Commitment to good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups is also crucial for the success of the implants.
All-on 4® involves placing four strategically positioned dental implants in the jaw, to which a full arch of permanent teeth is attached. Unlike traditional dentures, these teeth are fixed in place, offering a more natural feel and appearance. This not only aids in maintaining jawbone integrity and facial structure but also in preserving normal oral functions.
Prospective patients should be aware that the procedure includes surgery to insert titanium posts into the jawbone, necessitating a brief recovery period before the final restorations are attached. However, you are provided with a temporary prosthesis for functionality in the meantime.
Choosing a specialist with specific training in the All-on 4® procedure is crucial for the best outcomes. Dr. Vela is a seasoned expert in All-on 4®, having helped multitudes of patients in South Texas achieve stunning results.
Why All-on-4® Is The Preferred Choice In Corpus:
- The success rate is over 95%.
- With proper care, your new smile can last 20 years or more.
- Dental implants only require the same care as natural teeth.
- It helps preserve facial structure and strengthens your jawbone by stimulating bone growth.

What To Expect During The Process
You already know suffering from missing teeth can be a difficult ordeal. However, even though going to an All-on 4® specialist may seem a bit nerve-racking, it is hands down the best option for restoring your smile and preventing further oral damage.
Advanced techniques used here at Vela Dental Cosmetic & Implant Center along with state-of-the-art technology have made Dr. Vela a highly sought-after referral for full mouth reconstruction in Corpus. So that you feel a bit more comfortable with the process, let us give you a rundown of what goes on when you visit Vela Dental Cosmetic & Implant Center for your procedure.
The first visit is a scheduled consultation with Dr. Vela himself. This first step is crucial as it’s where you begin exploring the option of All-on-4® as as well as some general information is gathered.
During the consultation, you will receive a comprehensive examination which usually involves a review of your medical and dental history. X-rays will be administered and impressions of your teeth and gums will be taken so we can create models.
Occasionally, if circumstances deem it necessary, we will order a CT scan as well. This entire process allows us to see how much jawbone is still intact, as well as locate nerve endings, we don’t want to disturb during the process.
The results of the CT scan may indeed show that there isn’t enough jawbone to begin surgery, and, in that case, we may discuss options like bone grafting to build up the jawbone.
If there is enough jawbone to perform the surgery, the next phase kicks in and this is where the implants are actually placed into the jawbone.
This is accomplished by drilling a hole into the jawbone to insert the post. Accurate placement is of utmost importance and is achieved with a plastic surgical guide that is manufactured to meet the needs of your procedure.
After the implants are placed, a temporary restoration, such as a denture will be attached to the implants. This will allow you to eat, speak, and smile normally while your gums heal around the implants.
Once the implants have healed, your permanent prosthetic is placed and will feel natural, look natural, and function like normal teeth.
