All-on-4 is a revolutionary dental implant technique that uses just four implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This innovative method offers a faster, more cost-effective solution for those who have lost most or all of their teeth, compared to traditional implant methods. The implants are strategically placed to maximize support and stability, even in patients with lower bone density. Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 implants are fixed in place, offering greater comfort and reliability.
Focuses on replacing all teeth in the upper jaw with a complete, fixed prosthetic.
Offers stability and function to the lower jaw, which is often prone to more extensive bone loss.
Combines upper and lower arch replacements for a complete smile restoration.
All-on-4 is ideal for individuals who have significant tooth loss or severe decay and want a stable, permanent solution. Candidates typically are in good general health and free of chronic conditions that affect healing. They should also have sufficient bone structure to support the implants, otherwise bone grafting may need to be performed first. For the best results, candidates must be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking to promote optimal recovery and implant success.
Patients with untreated gum disease or those unwilling to commit to oral hygiene maintenance may need to address these issues before proceeding.
The first step of the All-on-4 process is a comprehensive consultation, including 3D imaging to assess your bone structure and plan the implant placement. On the day of the procedure, you can expect the following steps:
All-on-4 dental implants provide a life-changing solution for those struggling with tooth loss, offering a blend of functionality and aesthetic improvements. With this advanced treatment, patients regain the ability to eat and speak with confidence, enjoying the freedom to live life fully. Beyond the practical benefits, All-on-4 creates a beautiful, natural-looking smile that can dramatically boost your self-esteem and enhance your overall appearance. By preventing bone loss and the facial sagging often associated with missing teeth, these implants preserve the structure and vitality of your face. Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 implants are designed for convenience and comfort, delivering a stable, nuisance-free smile that feels just like natural teeth.
