Do I go home without teeth while the implants heal?

No. A fixed provisional bridge is screwed on the same day the implants go in, so you leave with teeth in place. It is temporary in the sense that it will be replaced by the definitive bridge once the implants have fused — not in the sense that it comes out at night.

How much does All-on-4 cost at Lukenda Dental?

The practice quotes one flat fee per arch, given to you in writing at the consultation. It covers every extraction, the implants — four, six or eight, whatever the bone calls for — any bone grafting, the bridge fitted on the day of surgery and the definitive full zirconia bridge months later. There are no additional fees.

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 replaces a whole jaw of teeth with one fixed bridge carried on four implants. The two back implants go in at an angle to catch bone that is still dense, which often avoids a graft. Extractions, implants and a fixed provisional bridge usually happen in a single appointment.

I've been told I don't have enough bone for implants. Is that the end of it?

Frequently it is not. All-on-4 exists for exactly this situation: the back implants go in at an angle to catch bone that is still dense, which often removes the need for the graft a conventional plan would demand. Nobody can settle it by looking in your mouth — it takes a 3D scan.

How do I clean an All-on-4 bridge?

You brush it like teeth, and you clean underneath it. The bridge sits slightly above the gum, so a water flosser and a small interdental brush do the work floss does around natural teeth. You are shown the routine before you leave, and hygiene visits check what you cannot see.

Are implants better than a denture?

They do a different job. A denture rests on the gum and moves; implants are anchored in bone and do not. That changes what you can bite, how you speak and whether anything has to come out at night. A denture is cheaper and quicker; an implant bridge is the one people stop thinking about.
