The Premier Permanent Denture Specialist for Casper, Douglas, and Central Wyoming
If you need multiple teeth restored or you are facing widespread dental decay, then dentures might be the solution you’re looking for. Here at Aspen Ridge Dental, we can offer you permanent dentures supported by dental implants thanks to the All-on-4® treatment concept.
The All-on-4® treatment concept, also known as permanent dentures, offers a full set of teeth while only needing 4 (sometimes more or less) dental implants with an attached dental bridge. They replace your entire upper or lower set of teeth in a comfortable and natural-looking way.
Permanent dentures are a modern treatment choice for tooth replacement that provides more stability and function than traditional dentures. These permanent dentures look and feel more natural while providing greater comfort than traditional dentures.

How Permanent Dentures Work
With implant dentures, Aspen Ridge Dental will be attaching several titanium posts to your jawbone. These titanium posts act as anchors for the whole set of dentures. A full arch of false teeth is then attached to these posts. This creates a beautiful and complete smile.
Traditional Dentures vs. Permanent Dentures
Many patients find that implant dentures through the All-on-4® treatment concept offer more benefits than either traditional dentures or traditional dental implants.
Traditional dentures are often ill-fitting and uncomfortable. Many patients with traditional dentures find that basic activities such as eating and talking are more difficult than they were before dentures. Plus, the risk of these dentures slipping out of place at inopportune moments is much higher than with denture implants.
Single dental implants offer many of the same benefits you get with All-on-4® treatment concept dentures. They are custom-made, comfortable, easy to care for, and natural looking. The difference comes in when it comes to the implant procedure.
A regular dental implant procedure means that each tooth has its own post attached to the jawbone. This results in longer recovery times, and it can take a while to replace multiple teeth using this treatment method.
Benefits of Implant Dentures
As dental surgery and treatment evolves, we get more and more treatment options when it comes to our smiles and oral health. It’s important to discuss your options with your dentist since they will know you and understand your unique situation best. Permanent options are just that, permanent, so you will want to consider all treatment plans before making your choice.
While the word permanent can seem scary, permanent dentures have many benefits including:
- Improved healing: Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures don’t cause irritation or soreness. They also prevent bone loss, so your jaw will remain strong and healthy, while with traditional dentures, your jaw would weaken.
- Even distribution of biting force: The implants under your dentures support the force of chewing. Because they are placed at specific points across the whole arch, the bite force is distributed evenly. Implant dentures allow patients to enjoy most foods again.
- Long-lasting: Dental implants are one of the longest-lasting dental appliances. They are made to be sturdy and permanent. While you may need to replace your dentures every 10–15 years, you won’t have to replace your implants for 15–w20. They could last the rest of your life.
- Comfortable: With implants securely holding your dentures in place, you won’t have to worry about your dentures slipping or rubbing against your gums. Implant dentures rest comfortably over the gums and feel just like natural teeth. You won’t even notice they’re not natural!
- Easy maintenance: Normal dentures require frequent cleaning, adhesives, and overnight soaking. With implant-supported dentures, all you have to do is brush your teeth. You may find it helpful to use a Waterpik to floss so you can adequately clean under your dentures.
Permanent dentures are also immensely helpful for maintaining your jawbone health. Without regular tooth roots or implants to replace those roots, the jawbone will shrink away from not being used. The denture implants of the All-on-4® dental implants treatment concept will go directly into the jawbone—keeping the jawbone stimulated and strong for a young and healthy facial structure.

Reasons to Consider Permanent Implant Dentures
If you are receiving restorative dental treatment, permanent dentures can be a great choice for a quick makeover. However, they are not the perfect treatment plan for everyone. If you only need to replace one or a few teeth, other options may work better for you.
If you need to replace all of the teeth in either the top or lower half of your mouth, the All-on-4® treatment concept is the most efficient and effective way to do so. With just four strategically placed implants, you can get an entire arch of teeth restored in no time!
Dentures vs. Full-Mouth Reconstruction
It is important to know all of your options when making this decision. If you are missing all your teeth as well as suffer from other oral health problems, our team at Aspen Ridge Dental may suggest considering a full-mouth reconstruction.
A full-mouth reconstruction is essentially a highly personalized treatment plan that will contain a series of restorative dentistry procedures chosen just for you and your unique circumstances. Many different dental needs can be addressed with a reconstruction treatment plan including severely worn teeth, chipped or broken teeth, missing teeth, irregular bites, and many others.
Take a look at full-mouth reconstruction as an option, then contact us today to address any questions to members of our compassionate and highly trained staff. We are eager to help you achieve your goals and take great care of your oral health.
All-on-4® Treatment Concept FAQs
What is the All-on-4® Treatment Concept, and how does it work?
The All-on-4® Treatment Concept is an innovative dental implant technique used to replace a full arch of missing teeth with just four strategically placed implants. Unlike traditional implant methods that require multiple implants for full-arch restoration, the All-on-4® technique maximizes the use of available bone density by angling the implants, providing a stable foundation for a fixed prosthesis. This allows patients to receive new teeth in as little as one day.
Who is a candidate for the All-on-4® Treatment Concept?
The All-on-4® Treatment Concept is suitable for individuals with multiple missing teeth or those who are facing complete tooth loss in one or both arches. Candidates should have sufficient bone density to support dental implants or may undergo bone grafting procedures to augment the bone if needed. Additionally, candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the treatment process and outcomes.
What are the benefits of choosing the All-on-4® Treatment Concept?
The All-on-4® Treatment Concept offers several advantages for patients seeking full-arch tooth replacement. These benefits include shorter treatment times, reduced overall cost compared to traditional implant methods, enhanced stability and function, improved aesthetics, and increased confidence in smiling, speaking, and eating. Additionally, the All-on-4® technique eliminates the need for removable dentures, providing a permanent and comfortable solution for restoring a natural-looking smile.
What is the recovery process like after undergoing the All-on-4® Treatment Concept?
The recovery process after All-on-4® treatment varies depending on individual healing and the complexity of the case. While some patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising immediately following the procedure, these symptoms typically subside within a few days to a week. Patients are advised to follow post-operative instructions provided by their dental team, including dietary restrictions, oral hygiene practices, and attending follow-up appointments for monitoring and adjustments. Over time, patients can enjoy the benefits of a fully restored smile with improved comfort, function, and aesthetics.
