Judy’s Experience With All-On-4 Dental Implants
I am Judy. I have been having difficulty with my teeth for years. A friend of mine worked with Dr. Edward’s cousin, and she highly recommended that I come and see Dr. Edwards. I have never regretted that decision. He supported me totally when I told him I wanted all of them pulled. I wanted to have the implants done and have the permanent teeth put in, so I did not have to worry with dentures and everyday process of taking it out. Maybe they come out, these are perfect. They stay exactly where they were put in. I started with one day of having everything pulled. They put a temporary in my mouth. After the temporary, they were processing the permanent ones. Now I have the permanent ones in. It took approximately nine months from start to finish. Worth every bit. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The result is a full set of beautiful, functional replacement teeth that will last for many years to come. Most patients do not want to have dentures held to the arch of your mouth by glue.
