All-on-4® treatment concept
What is the All-on-4® treatment concept?
The All-on-4® treatment concept is a contemporary restoration that has revolutionized the way surgeons and dentists think of replacing a full set of teeth. Standard dentures are unsecured prostheses with inherent limitations. Most often, dentures are painful, inconvenient and unstable. Such dentures can make chewing foods difficult, limiting the foods that you once enjoyed. Modern dentistry can help with implant supported dentures.The All-on-4® treatment concept replaces your missing teeth with a full dental bridge supported by dental implants. Fewer implants are needed and overall treatment time and cost is reduced. The All-on-4® treatment concept solution also ensures greater stability in the bone, reducing the need for bone graft surgery to increase bone volume. All-on-4® treatment concept implants stay connected with bar and clip attachment methods or use a variety of abutment-based attachments (ball, magnets, and resilient stud attachments such as Locators). The most appropriate attachment system for your individual needs relates to a variety of factors that is determined early in the treatment. Typically, a temporary set of teeth can be placed on the same day of surgery. The temporary teeth allow you to lead a normal life immediately after surgery. After a short healing period, your dentist will place the final bridge. Your quality of life is improved, and you can start enjoying your favorite foods again with renewed confidence.

All-on-4® treatment concept offers you many advantages:
- A cost effective solution. When compared to some other implant supported restoration methods, your new replacement teeth require fewer implants for each jaw. With fewer implants required, the cost is lowered.
- Reduced need for bone grafting. The special angled placement of two of the implants ensures a secure and stable anchorage for the replaced arch, often making bone grafting unnecessary.
- Faster treatment and healing time. Your replacement arch can be attached to your implants immediately after insertion.
- Scientifically proven and documented. The All-on-4® treatment concept has had good clinical outcomes from decade-long studies with favorable results.

Patient Review
Doc Howerton and his staff are top shelf. My main nurse sat with me before the procedure and made me feel comfortable the whole. She wheeled me into the procedure room where I was met by several other nurses that where also friendly professional and caring. The doc was sure of himself and very good. Didn't feel the IV line and it was over before I knew it. He came in after to check on me and gave me a little more local for pain. 6 hours later and I'm feeling great. Thank you so much for being a top notch business.

Patient Review
My wife had her first appointment about two years ago and she got to see Dr. Kennedy. My wife is a Coumadin patient and so some special concerns are necessary. Dr. Kennedy had to extract one tooth, which he did with the very best of care. He also called at 8:00 PM that evening to make sure all was well and that she was comfortable, what a wonderful gesture on his part. Last month, on a Sunday evening, my wife was chewing some pistachios and lost most of the top of one of her teeth almost to the gum line. Monday morning very early we went to see if she could see Dr. Kennedy, but he wasn't in that day, so Dr. Howerton said that he would work her in and he did that within about a half hour. After examining her it was determined that he would need to extract two teeth. My wife suffered very little discomfort from the procedure and the staff was just wonderful. At about 8:00 PM we received a personal call from him wanting to make sure she was fine and comfortable. We cannot praise the Dr. Kennedy or Dr. Howerton or their staff enough.
