All-on-4 Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

All-on-4 dental implants offer a modern, cost-effective solution for replacing a full arch of missing teeth using only four precisely placed implants. Ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, this technique delivers a permanent, natural-looking smile for both the upper and lower jaws.

How All-on-4 Dental Implants Work

Strategic Implant Placement

Four dental implants are surgically positioned in areas of the jaw with the highest bone density, typically near the front. These implants are often angled to provide maximum stability and support.

Same-Day Teeth (Immediate Loading)

A full-arch bridge can be attached immediately after implant placement, allowing patients to leave the office with a fixed, functional set of teeth the very same day.

Strong, Long-Lasting Bond (Osseointegration)

Over time, the implants naturally bond with the jawbone through osseointegration, creating a durable foundation for the replacement teeth.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

  • Cost-Effective Treatment

    Fewer implants mean lower overall costs compared to traditional implant procedures

  • Faster Healing Time

    With only 4 implants required, recovery is typically quicker and less invasive.

  • Little to No Bone Grafting Needed

    The strategic placement often eliminates the need for bone grafts, saving time and reducing discomfort.

  • Natural Appearance & Feel

    Custom-designed full-arch prosthetics look, feel and function like real teeth, restoring confidence in your smile.

  • Immediate Function & Comfort

    Enjoy eating, speaking and smiling with ease right after the procedure–no waiting for healing like conventional implants.

  • Easier Oral Care

    Maintain good oral hygiene with normal brushing and flossing, unlike removable dentures which require extra care.

Why Shouldn’t I Just Get Dentures Instead of Implants?

Dentures may be a quick fix for the problem of tooth loss, but they can cause more problems than solutions. Such as:

  • Dentures cover the roof of your mouth which affects the taste of food

  • Dentures can cause gagging because they have to extend back in an attempt to establish a seal

  • Dentures only provide less than 30% chewing efficiency

  • Many times you are unable to eat certain foods because of chewing inefficiency and inability to bite into foods

  • Most likely adhesive is required to help keep them in and in place

  • They do NOT maintain jawbone, so relines are required and eventually there may not be bone to hold them at all

  • Lower dentures can be painful and VERY difficult to keep in place as bone resorbs with time

  • You can and have to take them out
