Benefits
Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 offers real advantages for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in an arch:
01
Fixed, not removable. Your new teeth stay in place all day and night.
02
Same-day function. Most patients walk out with temporary teeth the day of surgery.
03
Fewer implants needed. Four implants can support a full arch.
04
Bite strength that feels closer to natural teeth than dentures.
Treatment
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement method that uses just four implants to support an entire row of teeth, upper, lower, or both. Instead of replacing each tooth one at a time, four strategically placed implants anchor a fixed bridge that looks and functions like natural teeth. This differs from single-tooth dental implants, which restore individual missing teeth rather than a whole arch.
The four implants are positioned to make the most of your existing jawbone. Two go in toward the front of the jaw, and two are angled toward the back where bone is often denser. This design frequently lets patients get started without needing extra bone grafting first, even if some bone loss has already occurred.
The Journey
What to Expect: Your All-on-4 Treatment Journey
Consultation & digital planning. Your journey starts with a consultation where we take CBCT 3D scans of your jaw. These images let us map out exactly where your implants should go before we ever pick up a drill. Using Yomi robotic-assisted technology, we can plan implant angles and depth with precision.
Surgery day & same-day smile. On surgery day, any remaining teeth in the arch are removed if needed, and your four implants are placed using the Yomi system for guided accuracy. A temporary fixed bridge is attached the same day, so you leave with a full, functional smile while your jawbone heals.
Healing and follow-up care. Over the next few months, your jawbone bonds with the implants in a process called osseointegration. We'll see you for follow-up visits to check healing progress. Once you're fully healed, we replace your temporary bridge with a final, custom-made permanent restoration.

All-on-4 vs. Implant-Supported Dentures: Which Is Right for You?
Both All-on-4 and implant-supported dentures replace a full arch of missing teeth, but they work differently day to day.
Attachment: All-on-4 is fixed in place; implant-supported dentures snap on for cleaning.
Implants: typically 4 per arch vs. usually 2 to 6 per arch.
Daily care: brush and floss like natural teeth vs. remove nightly to clean.
Cost: higher upfront investment vs. generally lower upfront cost.
If you want teeth that feel permanent and never come out, All-on-4 is often the better fit. If a lower upfront cost or removable convenience matters more to you, implant-supported dentures may make more sense.

Is All-on-4 Right for You?
All-on-4 tends to work well for patients missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, including those currently wearing loose or uncomfortable dentures. Good candidates typically have enough jawbone to support the implants, though some patients with mild bone loss can still qualify thanks to the angled implant placement. For patients who need additional bone support, we also offer bone grafting to help prepare the jaw for implants.
Don't Wait
Consequences of Delaying Full-Arch Replacement
Waiting to replace missing teeth can lead to ongoing changes in your jawbone, since bone naturally shrinks without the stimulation teeth once provided. Over time, this bone loss can make future implant placement more complex and may affect the fit of dentures. Getting an evaluation sooner gives you more options and helps preserve the bone you still have.

How many implants are placed with All-on-4?
All-on-4 uses four implants per arch to support a full set of fixed replacement teeth. Two implants are angled toward the back of the jaw, which often lets patients skip bone grafting even with some bone loss.
How long does All-on-4 treatment take?
Surgery and placement of your temporary teeth typically happen in one day. Full healing before your final, permanent bridge takes a few months, since your jawbone needs time to bond with the implants.
Will I leave with teeth the same day?
Yes, most patients leave their surgery appointment with a full set of fixed, temporary teeth already attached. You will not go without teeth during the healing period before your final restoration is placed.
Is All-on-4 covered by dental insurance?
Many dental plans cover part of All-on-4 treatment, such as extractions or exams, though implant coverage varies by plan. We accept a wide range of major insurance plans and offer financing options to help make treatment affordable.
