What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 is a full-arch restoration that replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth using 4 to 6 strategically placed implants. A custom, fixed bridge (not removable at home) is attached to the implants, restoring chewing power, speech, and aesthetics. Posterior implants are typically angulated to maximize bone and often avoid bone grafting—making treatment faster and more comfortable.

Key Advantages at a Glance

  • Fixed, non-removable full-arch solution

  • Strong chewing performance and natural speech

  • Often no bone graft thanks to angled implants

  • Can deliver immediate provisional teeth (“teeth in a day”) in appropriate cases

  • Preserves bone and facial structure

Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4?

You may be a great candidate if you:

  • Are missing most or all teeth in one or both arches

  • Struggle with loose, uncomfortable dentures

  • Want a fixed solution without a palatal plate

  • Have adequate bone for implants (even with bone loss, All-on-4 may still be possible)

  • Are seeking a long-term, stable, and aesthetic result

If you’ve been told you lack bone for traditional implants, All-on-4’s angulated approach may still work. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate with digital scans and tailor a plan to your needs.


The All-on-4 Treatment Journey

  1. Consultation & Digital Planning
    We begin with a comprehensive exam and 3D digital scans to map bone, bite, and smile line. You’ll review options, timelines, and what to expect, including temporary and final prosthetics.

  2. Implant Surgery & Provisional Teeth
    On surgery day, 4–6 implants are placed with precision. When clinically appropriate, a fixed provisional bridge is attached the same day, so you leave with a confident smile while you heal.

  3. Healing & Integration
    Over the next few months, implants osseointegrate (fuse with bone). You’ll follow a soft-food plan and attend check-ins to ensure comfort and stability.

  4. Final Custom Bridge
    After healing, we take detailed records to craft your final full-arch bridge—refining fit, bite, phonetics, and aesthetics for a natural, long-lasting result.

All-on-4 vs. Implant-Supported Dentures

  • Fixed vs. Removable: All-on-4 is fixed and doesn’t come out at home; overdentures snap on/off implants.

  • Palate & Speech: All-on-4 typically avoids palatal coverage for more natural taste and speech; overdentures may cover part of the palate.

  • Stability & Bite Force: All-on-4 offers maximum stability and higher chewing efficiency; overdentures significantly improve retention vs. traditional dentures but can have minor movement.

  • Maintenance: All-on-4 is cleaned in-mouth (plus professional maintenance visits to remove/clean prosthesis periodically); overdentures are removed daily for hygiene.

  • Budget & Upkeep: All-on-4 is a premium investment with fewer small components to replace; overdentures have lower upfront cost but periodic attachment maintenance.


What to Expect After All-on-4

  • Comfort: Most patients report manageable post-op discomfort controlled with medication and careful home care.

  • Diet: Soft foods during early healing; your chewing options expand as integration progresses.

  • Speech: Typically improves quickly as you adapt to the fixed bridge without a palatal plate.

  • Check-ups: Regular visits ensure healthy tissue, implant stability, and proper function.


Caring for Your Full-Arch Implants

  • Brush twice daily around the bridge and gums

  • Use interdental brushes, water flosser, and superfloss beneath the bridge

  • Schedule professional cleanings and periodic prosthesis removal/maintenance as recommended

  • Wear a nightguard if you clench or grind

  • Avoid chewing extremely hard items (ice, nutshells)

With proper care, implants can last decades; the prosthetic bridge may eventually require maintenance or replacement due to normal wear.
