Missing most or all teeth can impact everything from your diet to your confidence. At Sea of Pearls Dental Boutique, All-on-4 (All-on-X) full-arch dental implants provide a stable, fixed smile that looks and feels natural—often with same-day teeth. Led by Dr. Daniela Oliveira, our team combines precise digital planning with a boutique, patient-first experience to deliver life-changing results.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
