How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?

With All-on-4, you will receive four dental implant posts inserted carefully into your jawbone. Dental implants are unique from more traditional tooth replacement methods because they can act as artificial tooth roots, thus giving your new smile additional chewing power and stability.

The All-on-4 procedure involves placing the implant posts at specific angles, letting them fuse with the thickest areas of the jawbone and reducing the need for bone grafting. A full denture will be attached to the implant posts to complete your new smile.

Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?

Our team will need to verify that you’re able to get All-on-4 before moving forward with the procedure. The good news is that most adults with extensive tooth loss can qualify for All-on-4 as long as they have good oral health overall and are able to safely undergo the surgery. Remember that unlike traditional dental implants, All-on-4 can sometimes eliminate the need for bone grafting. This makes it a choice worth looking at if you have been told that there’s a lack of bone density in your jaw.

Benefits of All-on-4 Implants

  • Bone Preservation: Dental implants can actively help prevent deterioration of the jawbone. This is important because ordinarily, the jaw would lose bone density over time due to no longer being stimulated by the teeth.
  • Easy Maintenance: Your new teeth will be easy to take care of because they will be permanently anchored to your dental implant posts, meaning they can simply be brushed and flossed.
  • More Varied Diet: The enhanced biting and chewing power of dental implants will greatly open up your options for snacks and meals.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Implants

Why choose All-on-4 over traditional dental implants? The two procedures may seem alike on the surface, but there are a few differences that should be kept in mind:

  • All-on-4 only requires four dental implants to replace an entire row of teeth; in contrast, it can take six or even eight traditionally placed implant posts to support a full denture.
  • Some people may not be able to have traditional dental implants placed without bone grafting, but this preliminary procedure is often unnecessary with All-on-4.
  • With traditional dental implants, you may need to wait for replacement teeth. Meanwhile, with All-on-4, a customized denture can sometimes be provided on the same day as the surgery.
