Request an AppointmentWhat Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is an advanced implant technique that replaces an entire arch of upper or lower teeth using only four dental implants as anchors. These implants are precisely positioned to take maximum advantage of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. A custom, full-arch restoration is then secured to the implants, providing a permanent set of teeth that look, feel, and function like your own.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implants
- Permanent and secure: Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 teeth stay firmly in place — no slipping or adhesives.
- Natural appearance: Your new teeth are custom-crafted to look completely natural and complement your facial features.
- Improved function: Eat your favorite foods and speak with confidence thanks to a strong, stable bite.
- Preserves jawbone: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.
- Fewer implants needed: Replacing a full arch with just four implants reduces cost and treatment time.
- Easy maintenance: Care for your new teeth just like natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing, and checkups.

Even patients who were told they lacked enough bone for traditional implants are often candidates for All-on-4.
