Dental implants are one of the most reliable and natural-looking ways to replace missing teeth. They’re made of durable titanium and are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they act as artificial roots for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Why patients choose implants:

• Look, feel, and function just like natural teeth
• Long-lasting with proper care—often a lifetime solution
• Help prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure
• A stable alternative to bridges or removable dentures

For patients an entire arch, most or all of their teeth, All-on-4 dental implants offer a transformative solution.

This advanced technique uses just four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth, giving you a fixed, natural-looking smile that restores both function and confidence.

Why choose All-on-4?

• Replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth with fewer implants
• Provides a secure, non-removable alternative to traditional dentures
• Restores the ability to chew, speak, and smile naturally
• Helps prevent further bone loss and maintains facial shape
• Often allows for faster treatment and recovery compared to multiple single implants

All-on-4 may be ideal if you:

• Are missing most or all of your teeth
• Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures
• Have sufficient jawbone to support the implants (or are a candidate for grafting)
• Want a long-term solution that looks and feels like natural teeth

During your consultation, Dr. Hazzouri will evaluate your oral health, bone density, and goals to determine if All-on-4 is the best treatment option for you.

Missing or damaged teeth can affect more than just your appearance, they can impact your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

While we always aim to preserve your natural teeth, sometimes a tooth simply needs to be removed due to:

• Severe decay or infection
• Advanced gum disease
• Irreparable damage or trauma
• Overcrowding or preparation for implants

Tooth extractions at David Hazzouri Dental are performed with advanced techniques designed to maximize comfort, reduce healing time, and set you up for long-term oral health success.

Don’t ignore ongoing tooth pain or signs of infection. You may need a tooth extraction if you’re experiencing:

• Sharp or throbbing pain in your gums or jaw
• Persistent toothaches
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Severe sensitivity or discoloration
• Swelling or signs of infection

Removing the problem tooth can often be the first step toward restoring your overall oral health and smile—and may also prepare the site for a future dental implant.
