All-on-4 Dental Implants

How All-on-4 Works

Instead of placing an implant for every missing tooth, All-on-4 uses four strategically placed implants (sometimes six) to support a complete arch of teeth. The back implants are angled to make the most of your existing bone, which often means patients who were told they lacked bone for implants can still be treated, sometimes without extensive grafting. The new teeth are fixed in place and can only be removed by your dentist.

Who Is All-on-4 For?

• People missing most or all of their upper or lower teeth
• Patients with many failing, broken or loose teeth
• Denture wearers tired of slipping, sore spots and adhesives
• Anyone who wants a fixed solution instead of removable dentures

What to Expect

1. Consultation and 3D planning. We take 3D scans and photos to plan implant positions and design your new smile.
2. Surgery day. Any remaining failing teeth are removed and four implants are placed in the same visit.
3. Temporary teeth. In many cases, a fixed temporary set is attached the same day or soon after, so you leave with teeth.
4. Healing. Over several months, the implants fuse with your bone while you enjoy your temporary teeth.
5. Final teeth. Your permanent, custom-made arch is attached, designed for strength and a natural look.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures cost less up front, but they rest on the gums, can slip, cover the roof of your mouth, and don't stop bone loss. All-on-4 teeth are fixed, feel more like natural teeth, let you eat most foods with confidence, and help preserve your jawbone.

All-on-4 FAQs

Can I eat normally?

During healing you'll eat softer foods. With your final teeth, most patients enjoy a wide range of foods again.

How do I clean them?

Brush twice daily and use a water flosser under the bridge. Regular professional cleanings keep your implants healthy.

How long do they last?

The implants can last for decades. The bridge may need maintenance or replacement over time from normal wear.

How much does All-on-4 cost?

Cost depends on whether you need one or both arches and the materials used. We provide a detailed estimate at your consultation and offer financing.
