Has gum disease, extensive decay, or accidental injury cost you your smile? At Perio Implant Chicago, North Side, Chicago, Illinois, we offer All-on-4 implants to bring your smile back to life! Knowing what to expect regarding implants can help you decide if this treatment is right for you.
To that end, Dr. Sabzehei and associates cover the different steps to the implant process here:
Step 1: Consultation/Oral Evaluation
Step one is meeting our doctors at Perio Implants Chicago for a consultation to explain more about implants and address any questions or concerns you may have about this treatment. At this time, we’ll take digital X-rays and scans of your mouth to evaluate your oral and bone health, and review your medical history to determine if you’re a viable candidate for this treatment.
Step 2: Treatment Planning
If you’re eligible for implants and choose to proceed with the treatment, we’ll use the information based on your consultation to plan your procedure. All-on-4 implant treatment is generally used to restore an entire arch of missing teeth. In the event of total tooth loss, we’ll plan the placement of four lower jaw dental implants and four upper jaw implants to support natural-looking dentures for a robust new smile!

Step 3: Pre-Surgical Prep
This step is for patients who require preparatory procedures before getting implants, such as a bone graft to counter loss of bone density, a sinus lift, or extraction of unhealthy remaining teeth. These procedures add time to your treatment but contribute to its overall success.
Step 4: Implant Placement
Implant placement is done using local anesthesia and sedation, for patients who need it, to ensure you’re comfortable and pain-free for your surgery. Dr. Sabzehei and associates will use computer-guided technology for implant placement to ensure they’re placed properly and in the best location for optimal support.
Step 5: Osseointegration/Recovery
Once the implants are in place, the process of osseointegration begins. This is where the bone grows around the implants to secure them in place permanently. As this process occurs gradually, your recovery can take 3-6 months, or longer, to complete.
Step 6: Abutment Placement/Denture Creation
After the implants heal, we’ll attach abutments to hold your new teeth in place and wait for them to heal. We’ll also take digital impressions of your mouth to customize your new teeth. Your lab-made denture will be crafted using high-grade porcelain, zirconia, or acrylic resin material to the shape of your jaw and mouth for a perfect fit.
Step 7: Denture Placement
Lastly, we’ll attach your denture to the abutments permanently to finalize your treatment. Your new smile will now be complete! We’ll provide detailed instructions on caring for your new teeth and schedule follow-up visits to monitor their health and functionality.
