CANDIDACY & REQUIREMENTS
Is All-On-4® Right For You?
All-on-4® dental implants can be an excellent solution for many people struggling with missing teeth, offering a way to restore a full, functional smile without the need for complex procedures like bone grafting or sinus lift surgery. This treatment is especially beneficial for those with jawbone degeneration, as the strategic placement of the implants can often eliminate the need for additional surgeries.
During a detailed consultation, our doctors will assess your oral health to determine if All-on-4® is right for you. They may also recommend zygomatic and pterygoid implants based on your bone health and other factors if they believe it’s the best solution.
YOU MAY BE A CANDIDATE IF:
- You have good overall oral health.
- You have a healthy immune system.
- You are missing all or most of your teeth along your upper or lower jaw.
- You have sufficient jawbone strength.
- You do not smoke or use tobacco.
HOW ALL-ON-4® IMPLANTS WORK
What to Expect During the Procedure
At Northern Colorado Periodontics, Dr. Allen, Dr. Sands, and Dr. Shumaker bring years of expertise and a commitment to your comfort throughout the entire implant process. With a focus on precision and care, they will guide you through each step to ensure the best possible results. Here’s what you can expect during your implant procedure:
ANESTHESIA & SEDATION
On the day of the procedure, your gums will be numbed to ensure comfort. For those who prefer deeper sedation, we offer oral and intravenous medication options.
INCISION & IMPLANT PLACEMENT
Drs. Shumaker, Allen, and Sands will make small incisions in your gums to create space for the implants. Using advanced surgical guides, they will insert small titanium posts into your jawbone for precise placement.
CLOSING THE
INCISIONS
Once the implants are securely placed into your jawbone, the incisions will be carefully closed to promote optimal healing. The soft tissue will be sutured, ensuring that the area is protected while your body begins the healing process.
RESTORATION PLACEMENT
If you're receiving same-day treatment, your restoration will be placed immediately after the implants are in place. Our expertise ensures you receive precise and superior care throughout the process.

FAQs
About
All-On-4®
What is All-On-4® (also called All-On-X or Teeth In A Day) and how does it work?
All-On-4® (sometimes called All-On-X or “Teeth In A Day”) is a dental implant solution that replaces an entire arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed, natural-looking prosthesis. Using four to six strategically placed implants, our Fort Collins and Greeley periodontists can restore function and aesthetics in just one day. This treatment often avoids the need for extensive bone grafting, making it faster and more cost-effective than traditional implants.
Am I a good candidate for All-On-4® dental implants?
Most patients with multiple missing teeth, failing dental work, or severe gum disease are potential candidates for All-On-4®. Even if you have bone loss, specialized implants (such as angled, zygomatic, or pterygoid implants) may allow treatment without grafting. During your consultation at our Fort Collins or Greeley office, we’ll use advanced 3D imaging to determine if you qualify and design a personalized plan.
How much does All-On-4® (Teeth In A Day) cost in Fort Collins and Greeley, CO?
Pricing varies depending on the number of implants placed (All-On-4 vs. All-On-6), type of restoration, and whether additional treatments (like extractions or bone grafting) are needed. At NOCO Perio, we provide clear cost estimates during your consultation. We work with most insurance plans and offer financing options such as CareCredit and Cherry®, making full-arch implant treatment more affordable for patients in Fort Collins and Greeley.
What is the recovery time for All-On-4® dental implants?
Most patients can leave our Fort Collins or Greeley office with a new set of fixed teeth the same day. Initial healing takes about 1–2 weeks, with minimal discomfort compared to traditional implant procedures. The implants continue to integrate with the bone over the next 3–6 months, at which point a final, permanent prosthesis is placed. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
How long do All-On-4® implants last?
With proper care, All-On-4® implants can last decades — often a lifetime. The prosthetic teeth may need periodic replacement or adjustment, but the implants themselves are designed for long-term stability. Regular checkups at our Fort Collins and Greeley periodontal offices, along with excellent oral hygiene, are key to maximizing the lifespan of your new smile.
