What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?
All-On-4 dental implants are a remarkable solution for those seeking to restore their smile with a fixed, full-arch prosthesis. This innovative approach involves placing four dental implants strategically in the anterior part of your jaw to support a complete set of teeth. What sets All-On-4 apart is its ability to provide a secure foundation for a new set of teeth, even in cases where bone quality or quantity may be less than ideal.
The All-On-4 Difference
Compared to traditional dental implant procedures, All-On-4 offers several key benefits:
- Efficiency: All-On-4 often eliminates the need for extensive bone grafts or sinus lifts, making it a more time-efficient option.
- Aesthetics: The results are natural-looking, and you'll regain your beautiful smile.
- Functionality: You can enjoy improved chewing and speech capabilities.

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
- Comprehensive examination, including X-rays and potentially a CBCT scan to assess your oral health.
- Discussion of your medical history and current medications to determine candidacy.
Tooth Extraction
- Removal of any remaining teeth that need replacement, even healthy ones if they obstruct the All-On-4 implants.
Implant Placement
- Sedation for your comfort during the procedure.
- Creation of small incisions in the gums to prepare the implant sites.
- Placement of implant screws in the jawbone and attachment of connectors.
- Potential bone grafting.
- Suturing of the gums and placement of temporary dentures for healing.
Final Adjustments and Follow-Up
- Placement of abutments and connection of custom-made teeth.
- Healing period of three to six months for osseointegration (new bone growth around the implants).
- Post-surgery recovery, typically includes rest, ice packs, and prescribed medications for pain and infection prevention.
- Replacement of temporary dentures with permanent dentures upon completion of osseointegration.
The All-On-4 process offers a streamlined path to a fully restored smile, combining efficiency and effectiveness.
