A Closer Look at the All-on-4 Implant Procedure by Dr. Siddiqui
Introduction
The USA Today article highlights Bryan Johnson, a tech entrepreneur spending millions to reverse aging and extend his lifespan. His meticulous health routines and innovative treatments have sparked widespread interest in anti-aging solutions. This growing fascination with longevity reflects a universal desire to preserve health and well-being as we age.
While Johnson focuses on cutting-edge therapies, the principles of maintaining health extend to all aspects of life—including dental health. Just as caring for the body is vital to living longer, preserving oral health through innovative solutions like Dr. Samer Khattab All-on-4 treatment at Lorton Town Dental can transform lives and ensure long-lasting results.
Missing teeth can deeply impact your confidence and oral health, making simple tasks like eating or speaking more challenging. Fortunately, advancements in modern dentistry offer transformative solutions like dental implants. Among these, the All-on-4 dental implant procedure stands out for its ability to restore full smiles efficiently and effectively.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a durable, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. It consists of three main components:
- Titanium Post – This post is surgically inserted into the jawbone and acts as an artificial tooth root.
- Abutment – This connector piece links the implant post to the crown.
- Crown – The visible part of the implant that resembles and functions like a natural tooth.
Why All-on-4 is More Than Just Implants
All-on-4 isn’t just about replacing teeth – it’s about reclaiming confidence and redefining what a smile can mean. Dr. Siddiqui approaches every All-on-4 case as a transformation, not just a procedure. Patients don’t just walk out with their teeth; they walk out ready to enjoy life again without hesitation.
Each implant bridges the gap between lost self-esteem and renewed vitality, empowering patients to smile without second-guessing. For those seeking permanent dental restoration options by Dr. Siddiqui, the All-on-4 treatment offers a life-changing solution.
The ability to laugh freely at social gatherings or take a bite of their favorite foods without discomfort feels like regaining a part of themselves. It’s more than dental work – the restoration of simple joys often taken for granted. Dr. Samer Khattab’s All-on-4 treatment reflects this belief, as he understands that a great smile reflects inner confidence. The All-on-4 procedure is the key that unlocks this transformation for many.
Why Choose All-on-4 Dental Implants
The All-on-4 dental implant procedure is a revolutionary approach to full-mouth restoration. Here are the key benefits:
- Restores Natural Appearance and Function – Implants look and feel like natural teeth, enabling you to smile confidently.
- Prevents Bone Loss – The titanium posts stimulate the jawbone, preventing deterioration.
- Long-Lasting and Durable – With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
- Improves Confidence and Quality of Life – Enjoy the foods you love and speak clearly without discomfort
Who is a Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Not everyone is a candidate for All-on-4 implants. Here are some factors that indicate suitability:
- Good Oral and General Health
- Adequate Bone Density
- Non-Smokers or Willing to Quit
Even if you have pre-existing conditions or bone loss, Dr. Siddiqui can assess your situation to determine if preparatory treatments, like bone grafting, are necessary
The All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure
Here’s what to expect during the All-on-4 process at Lorton Town Dental:
- Initial Consultation and Evaluation – Dr. Siddiqui will perform a comprehensive exam using advanced imaging techniques.
- Implant Placement Surgery – Four titanium implants are strategically placed in the jawbone.
- Healing and Osseointegration – The implants fuse with the bone over the next few months.
- Placement of Abutments and Crowns – Once healed, customized crowns are attached to restore your full smile.
Advanced technology like 3D imaging and guided surgery ensures precision and success.
How Do All-on-4 Implants Differ from Traditional Dentures?
- Stability and Comfort – Unlike dentures, implants are fixed and do not shift.
- Durability – With proper care, implants last much longer than dentures.
- Bone Preservation – Dentures do not prevent bone loss, while implants do.
All-on-4 implants provide superior results, giving patients a permanent, secure solution.

All-On-4 Procedure Timeline
The procedure typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on whether you have a single arch treated (upper or lower) or both arches (full mouth). When you leave the office, your temporary bridge(s) will be securely attached to your new implants.
You will wear your temporary bridge(s) for 4 months to allow time for your implants to integrate with your bone and for your jaws and gums to heal into a stable, long-term position before we fabricate your final bridge(s).
Allowing this healing time ensures the closest possible fit for your final bridges. After this healing time, we will fabricate your final bridge(s). This involves a few appointments over a 5-6 week period. You’ll help us design the smile you want for your permanent teeth during this time.
Maintaining All-On-4 Teeth
Maintaining the health of your teeth, including All-On-4 teeth and implants, is a simple but consistent task. Just like natural teeth, brushing and flossing regularly is important. You can keep your mouth and implants healthy by spending a few minutes each day. Use a soft bristle toothbrush to brush your bridges and clean underneath them with a water flosser like the popular WaterPik, multiple times a day.
To minimize the risk of complications with dental implants, it’s best to avoid smoking. Diabetics should also be cautious, as they have a higher risk of complications. Controlling your diabetes is crucial for the long-term success of your implants.
In addition to these considerations, it’s important to visit your dentist regularly throughout the year for evaluations of your new implant teeth.
Post-Surgical Care and Recovery:
Recovery after an All-on-4 procedure is typically smooth, but proper post-operative care is essential.
Here are a few tips:
- Rest and Hydration – Allow your body to heal by getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated.
- Soft Diet – Stick to soft foods for the first few weeks to avoid pressure on the implants.
- Oral Hygiene – Gently clean around the implants and avoid harsh brushing until fully healed.
- Regular Check-Ups – Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
