Why Opt for All-On-Four Implants?
The All-on-4 treatment concept is expertly crafted to replace an entire set of teeth with the support of as few as four dental implants, which anchor a prosthetic bridge. In most cases, this procedure can be completed within a single day. After a brief healing period, you can regain the ability to smile and speak confidently while indulging in all your favorite foods.
Introduced almost two decades ago, the groundbreaking All-on-4 treatment concept has empowered over 250,000 individuals worldwide to restore the functionality and aesthetics of their smiles.
Cobb Center for Advanced Dentistry takes great pride in its status.

Marietta & Decatur Center of Excellence, an esteemed designation granted to fewer than 2% of dental practices in North America. This recognition is a testament to the exceptional professionalism and extensive experience of our team, coupled with the exclusive use of authentic Nobel Biocare components. We are honored to be the representative for Georgia in the prestigious All-on-4 Centers of Excellence program.
While the success rate of the All-on-4 implants treatment concept is notably high, it is important to acknowledge that, like all surgical procedures, it is not devoid of risks, and individual outcomes may vary. The determination of your specific risks and suitability for this procedure can only be ascertained through a thorough consultation with Dr. Sanjay Patel, D.M.D, and the Cobb Center for Advanced Dentistry team.
Upon a patient’s acceptance of treatment for All-On-4 Implants, our process commences with an impression appointment. During this appointment, you have the opportunity to make choices regarding the appearance of your temporary prosthesis, and we coordinate your surgery date. For enhanced patient comfort, we strongly recommend IV sedation for this type of procedure, and we adhere to rigorous safety protocols to ensure your well-being during the surgery. Additionally, before your surgery date, a CT scan is conducted to provide Dr. Sanjay Patel with the latest imaging software for precise measurements and mapping, ensuring optimal implant placement that avoids the sinus cavity and promotes effective post-surgery healing.
Following the implant placement, we meticulously customize the temporary prosthesis to guarantee an ideal fit and functionality. To ensure optimal acceptance of the implants, we conduct a post-operative X-ray analysis before releasing you. Our dedicated team provides thorough instructions for both pre-surgery and post-surgery care, addressing all your concerns and ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of the process.
For the final prosthesis for All-On-4 Implants, we utilize the same high-quality porcelain employed in dental crowns, as opposed to the conventional acrylic (plastic) teeth found in typical solutions. While it may resemble a traditional acrylic hybrid denture to some extent, it offers significantly greater strength. Implant-supported zirconia prostheses are notably more durable and less prone to breakage. Statistics reveal that approximately 50% of acrylic All-on-4 prostheses experience some form of breakage within five years. Furthermore, the zirconia prosthesis maintains its appearance indefinitely because it does not wear down like acrylic.
Our system has been meticulously designed to ensure you never have to go without teeth following the implant placement surgery. We affix a temporary acrylic prosthesis, which remains fixed to the implants during the healing period (typically 6-8 months). Once we confirm that the implants and surrounding tissue have healed properly, we proceed with the Zirconia prosthesis process. We work closely with our skilled lab technicians to ensure that you achieve the smile you’ve always desired.
