What is All-on-4®?
All-on-4® is a permanent, full-arch tooth replacement designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. This innovative technique replaces an entire set of teeth using just four implants per arch instead of placing individual implants for each missing tooth.
Unlike traditional dental implants, which require months of healing and multiple procedures, All-on-4® allows you to walk out of our office with a new smile the same day as surgery.
This technique has been scientifically proven for decades and provides long-term success for thousands of patients worldwide.

All-on-4® vs. Traditional Dentures
Many patients considering full-arch restoration wonder how All-on-4® compares to traditional dentures. Here’s why All-on-4® is the superior choice:
- Fixed & Permanent: Unlike dentures, which must be removed daily, All-on-4® provides a secure, long-lasting solution.
- Improved Chewing Function: Eat your favorite foods without restrictions.
- No Slipping or Discomfort: Traditional dentures can cause sore spots and slip, while All-on-4® implants stay in place securely.
- Prevents Bone Loss: The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone shrinkage and preserving facial structure.
- Natural Look & Feel: Designed to match your facial structure, bite, and smile, providing a lifelike and aesthetic result.
Am I a Candidate for All-on-4®?
All-on-4® is ideal for patients who:
- Have lost most or all of their teeth
- Want a permanent alternative to dentures
- Have adequate jawbone density to support implants
- Are in good overall health with no uncontrolled conditions affecting healing
- Prefer a fast, minimally invasive treatment
Even if you have been told you don’t have enough bone for implants, you may still qualify for All-on-4® since the implants are angled for maximum bone support. If needed, we may recommend bone grafting before implant placement.
The All-on-4® Process: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Consultation & Digital Planning
- We begin with a comprehensive exam and 3D imaging scan of your jaw.
- A custom treatment plan is created using computer-guided technology to ensure precise implant placement.
Step 2: Same-Day Surgery & Implant Placement
- Any remaining failing teeth are extracted if necessary.
- Four strategically placed implants are inserted into the jawbone to support the full-arch prosthesis.
- The angled placement of implants maximizes stability and often eliminates the need for bone grafting.
Step 3: Attachment of Your Temporary Teeth
- A custom provisional bridge is secured to the implants immediately.
- You leave our office with fully functional, beautiful teeth on the same day.
Step 4: Healing & Final Prosthesis Placement
- Over the next few months, the implants integrate with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
- Once healing is complete, we replace the temporary prosthesis with your permanent, custom-designed teeth for long-lasting durability and aesthetics.
