All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 Procedure

Dental implants transform your smile from one with missing or failing teeth to one that allows you to regain full mouth functionality. Dental implants will not only completely restore your teeth and facial structure but will also restore your self-confidence and quality of life.

All-on-4 dental implants replace missing or failing teeth.

All-on-4 (AO4) is an innovative and technologically advanced dental implant technique. If you wear dentures or have missing or failing teeth, the All-on-4 procedure is the optimal solution. The procedure is proven and cost-effective and will give you a functional, healthy smile for life!

All-on-4 Dental Implants Benefits

All-on-4 (AO4) dental implants offer the following benefits:

  • Get fully-functioning, new teeth in a short amount of time
  • Improve your appearance
  • Eat foods without reservation
  • Get a long-lasting smile
  • Eliminate health issues associated with failing teeth
  • Easily care for your teeth

With as few as four dental implants, you can replace your dentures and have a permanent implant-supported bridge in as little as one day.

Get immediate results
Experience a dramatic improvement in chewing ability, teeth stability, and overall comfort right away.

Improve your appearance
All-on-4 dental implants can take up to 20 years off your appearance. The procedure helps preserve the jawbone and prevent further deterioration of the facial structure associated with missing teeth and a lack of the root system that supports them. Dental implants decrease wrinkles caused by missing bone and tooth structure, which helps you look younger.

Eat what you want, when you want, where you want
Your overall eating habits will improve with the All-on-4 procedure. You’ll be able to enjoy your favorite foods again instead of avoiding them in public or at home.

Get a long-lasting smile
The All-on-4 dental implant procedure creates a permanent set of teeth with a non-removable implant-supported retained bridge. Your dental implants never have to be removed, and your teeth can last a lifetime. 

Enhance your overall quality of life
With All-on-4 dental implants, your new teeth will feel and function just like real teeth. You’ll have greater comfort and confidence when smiling, speaking, and eating. Overall, you’ll look better, feel better, and have a renewed outlook on life.

Eliminate health issues associated with failing and missing teeth
The All-on-4 dental implant procedure helps create a healthier mouth and a healthier body by reducing your risk of periodontal disease—a bacterially induced chronic infection and inflammatory disease. Periodontal disease has been linked to heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases. Because dental implants restore your mouth to a more natural state, they may help fend off periodontal disease. 

Easily care for your teeth
Another All-on-4 implants benefit is ease of care. With daily brushing and flossing, as well as regular visits to your Dental Associates hygienist and dentist, your new teeth will stay clean and healthy for years to come.

All-on-4 Dental Implant Solution

The All-on-4 dental implant solution has been developed to simplify treatment for those suffering from tooth loss, periodontal disease, and/or bone atrophy and resorption (melting away of the natural jaw bone)—all of which can lead to poor oral health, low self-esteem, and quality of life issues. With the All-on-4 solution, your oral health and overall well-being will be enhanced. 

Traditional implant therapy often requires all or some the following:

  • Multiple visits to both surgical and general dental offices
  • Six or more implants per arch
  • Bone grafting and sinus augmentation
  • Months and possibly years of extended healing time

The All-on-4 dental implant solution is superior to conventional implant methods because it…

  • Reduces or eliminates bone resorption
  • Has a lower overall cost than conventional implant procedures
  • Significantly reduces healing time
  • Has proven predictability with highly successful outcomes
  • Allows for brand new replacement teeth in as little as one day
  • Is permanent and will keep you smiling for a lifetime

All-On-4 Dental Implants: Attractive & Cost-Effective

Traditional dental implants require the placement of six or more implants per arch. Those who choose not to do anything about their missing teeth, failing teeth, or loose dentures often experience pain, embarrassment, messy denture adhesive products, and a decline in overall health. The All-on-4 dental implant procedure saves time and money, reduces healing time, and alleviates the emotional stress of not having healthy teeth.

The All-on-4 dental implant procedure is for those with failing teeth or no teeth, those currently wearing dentures, and those in need of full upper and/or lower restorations. The procedure uses as few as four implants and a full set of new implant-supported replacement teeth per arch, saving you time and money.

All-on-4 Dental Implants Questions

How are All-on-4 Dental Implants different from dentures?
All-on-4 dental implants differ from dentures because they’re a permanent solution for missing or severely damaged teeth. The dental implants are secured directly into your own jaw, so they look, feel and function just like natural teeth.
How do All-on-4 dental implants compare to traditional implants?
The All-on-4 dental implant technique uses only four implants per arch, whereas traditional implants use anywhere from six to eight implants or more in each arch. The implants of the All-on-4 procedure are also placed at an angle, which allows for increased contact by using the natural support of your bone. In addition, the All-on-4 procedure requires no bone grafting for many patients, which is common in traditional implant procedures. Therefore, All-on-4 dental implants save both time and money.
How long is the All-on-4 dental implant surgery?
The surgery takes approximately 2.5 hours per arch.
What is the success rate with All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Published studies show a 98% success rate using All-on-4 dental implants.
Who is the ideal candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
The ideal candidate for the All-on-4 dental implant procedure is someone who is missing most or all of their teeth or is currently wearing dentures. Age is not a limiting factor for All-on-4 dental implants as long the candidate is in good health.
Where will my replacement teeth be made?
Your new teeth will be crafted by certified lab technicians using sturdy, high-quality materials.
Will my results look natural?
Absolutely. The All-on-4 dental implant technique gives you permanent teeth that look, feel, and function just like real teeth. No one will know you have implants unless you tell them.
Why don't I get my permanent set of teeth the day my implants are placed?
As with any surgery, you need time to heal. A temporary set of teeth will be placed on your implants. Once the healing process is complete, your permanent teeth will be placed at a follow-up visit approximately six months after surgery.
What if I just need implants on my bottom arch? What if I someday need All-on-4 dental implants on both arches?
All-on-4 implants can be placed on just the upper or lower arch. An implant specialist will evaluate your circumstance and if they feel you might eventually need replacement teeth on both the upper and lower arches, they may suggest performing the procedure on both arches at the same time. This provides better results while also saving time and money. Your doctor will work with you to determine what best meets your health needs and financial situation.
What type of cleaning is required after an implant is placed?
Since dental implants should be treated like natural teeth, daily brushing and flossing are necessary to maintain optimal oral health.
