What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

The All-on-4 treatment concept is a revolutionary approach to full-arch tooth replacement. Using just four strategically placed dental implants per arch, we can support a complete set of fixed, non-removable teeth. The two posterior implants are angled at approximately 45 degrees, which maximizes contact with available bone and often eliminates the need for bone grafting. This technique was developed and refined over decades of clinical research and has transformed the lives of millions of patients worldwide.

  • Full arch of teeth on only 4 implants
  • Angled posterior implants maximize bone contact
  • Decades of clinical research and proven results
  • Over 1 million patients treated worldwide

Benefits of All-on-4 Implants

Full Arch on 4 Implants

Replace an entire arch of teeth with just four strategically angled implants, reducing complexity and cost compared to individual implants.

Often No Bone Grafting

The angled placement of posterior implants maximizes contact with available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting procedures.

Same-Day Teeth

Walk in with failing or missing teeth and leave with a full set of fixed, temporary teeth the same day -- never go a day without your smile.

Fixed, Non-Removable

Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 teeth are permanently fixed to the implants. No slipping, no adhesives, no removal at night.

Preserves Jawbone

Implants stimulate the jawbone and prevent the bone resorption that occurs with traditional dentures, maintaining your facial structure.

Restored Quality of Life

Eat, speak, laugh, and smile with complete confidence. All-on-4 patients report dramatic improvements in quality of life and self-esteem.

The All-on-4 Process

1

Comprehensive Evaluation

Advanced 3D CBCT imaging maps your jawbone anatomy in detail. Our specialists assess bone density, nerve location, and sinus proximity to plan optimal implant placement.

2

Digital Treatment Planning

Using sophisticated software, we design your new smile and plan the precise angle and position of each implant to maximize bone contact and stability.

3

Surgery & Temporary Teeth

On surgery day, any remaining teeth are extracted, four implants are placed per arch, and a temporary fixed prosthesis is attached -- all in a single visit.

4

Final Prosthesis

After 3 to 6 months of healing, your permanent prosthesis is crafted from high-quality materials, designed for natural aesthetics and long-lasting durability.
