Restore Your Smile With 4-Hour Smile in Pleasanton, TX
If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, or you’re facing the loss of several teeth, you have options beyond removable dentures. The 4-Hour Smile is an advanced full-arch dental implant treatment that uses carefully placed implants to support a fixed set of replacement teeth. It’s designed to help restore how your smile looks, feels, and works.
At Pleasanton Dental Specialists, we start by getting to know you. Your care begins with a thorough evaluation and advanced 3D imaging of your teeth, jawbone, and overall oral health.
If the 4-Hour Smile is right for you, our oral surgery team will build a personalized treatment plan. We’ll talk through your anesthesia and sedation options and walk you through every stage, so you always know what comes next.
On treatment day, we can perform any needed extractions before gently placing your dental implants. Qualifying patients can then receive an implant-supported restoration during the same treatment process. That means you can leave with a functional new smile while your implants heal and bond with your jawbone.
