allon4-1877 before after 2Mr. R from the Washington, DC area had heard about ClearChoice®, their All-on-Four® procedure, and their replacement teeth in a day without bone grafting. However, given his severely receding gums, he was skeptical about their process and the results he would get with them.

He came to Elite Prosthetic Dentistry because of our reputation for performing All-on-Four-type procedures while emphasizing bone preservation.

Without first performing extensive bone grafting, Mr. R’s implants would have failed. Instead, we were able to extract the teeth that could not be saved and recreate his bone structure prior to inserting the implants. This ensured stable, secure, functional, and beautiful implants that will last a lifetime.

After the procedure was done, he stated that he is happy he avoided the “assembly-line-type treatments, which, I’m convinced, could NEVER have produced the results I’ve had. I now wake up every morning with a gorgeous smile, and one I don’t have to take out and put in a glass to soak overnight.”
