What are All-On-4® Dental Implants?

All-On-4® implants differ from traditional dental implants by making it possible for multiple teeth in the same arch to be replaced with fewer implants. Traditional implants replace individual teeth. With All-On-4® implants, titanium implants are placed along the top and/or bottom of the mouth providing an efficient way to replace all or most teeth at once.

Why should patients consider getting All-On-4® implants?

All-On-4® implants provide a suitable alternative to dentures for those who need to have all, or most of their teeth replaced. Unlike dentures, these implants prevent bone loss, which can affect facial structure over time.

What can patients expect from the All-On-4® process?

Patients who choose to have All-On-4® implants undergo minor surgery to place the implants into the mandible bone, the maxillary bone, or both. In most cases, an all-acrylic set of teeth is delivered on the same day. Over the next several weeks, the bone and implants fuse together. After the bone is fully healed, the next step is to have a final full arch of ceramic teeth attached to the implants.

Which patients can have All-On-4® implants?

All-On-4® implants are suitable for patients who have sufficient bone to hold the implants securely. If there isn’t enough bone present, patients may need bone grafting as a first step. Viable candidates must also have enough healthy gum tissue, and be free of any conditions or diseases that may interfere with or slow the healing process.

Are All-On-4® Implants safe?

All-On-4® implants are extremely safe for patients deemed suitable. As with any dental procedure, there is a minimal risk of bleeding, infection, and nerve damage.

How much does the All-On-4® cost?

As of 2021, our per arch fee for All-on-4® restoration is approximately $25,000, surgical costs for implant placement and any necessary extractions, bone grafting, or gum treatments are billed separately by your Oral Surgeon.
