Learn how All-on-4 can give you a full arch of beautiful teeth in just one day.

All-on-4 dental implants represent one of the most significant advances in tooth replacement technology. This innovative procedure can restore a full arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants.

What Is All-on-4?

The All-on-4 technique uses four dental implants to support an entire arch of teeth. The posterior implants are placed at an angle to maximize contact with available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting.

Benefits of All-on-4

  • Full arch of teeth on just 4 implants
  • Often completed in a single day
  • Fixed, permanent teeth that never come out
  • Usually no bone grafting required
  • More affordable than individual implants
  • Immediate function and aesthetics

The Procedure

On the day of surgery, any remaining teeth are extracted, four implants are placed, and a temporary prosthesis is attached. You'll leave with a complete smile the same day.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

All-on-4 is ideal for patients with multiple missing teeth, failing dentition, or those struggling with dentures. Even patients with significant bone loss may be candidates.

Recovery and Care

Most patients return to work within a few days. Your final permanent prosthesis is typically placed after 3-6 months of healing.
