All-on-4 dental implants offer a reliable, long-lasting solution for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth. At Aurora Dental Group, this advanced treatment allows you to restore a full, natural-looking smile using just four strategically placed implants. Compared to traditional dentures, All-on-4 provides a secure, fixed option that looks, feels, and functions like real teeth.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses four dental implants to support an entire set of upper or lower teeth. The implants are placed at specific angles to maximize contact with existing bone, often reducing the need for bone grafting.
Once the implants are placed, a custom full-arch restoration is attached, giving you a complete, stable smile.
What All-on-4 Can Replace
- An entire upper or lower arch of missing teeth
- Loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Teeth that are severely damaged or beyond repair
Benefits of All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 implants provide a number of advantages over traditional dentures and other tooth replacement options.
- Fixed, non-removable solution
- Restores full chewing ability
- Helps preserve jawbone structure
- No need for adhesives or removal at night
- Natural appearance and improved confidence
The All-on-4 Process
The All-on-4 process is carefully planned to ensure long-term success and a comfortable experience. Our team will guide you through each step.
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including imaging and a discussion of your goals. This allows us to determine if All-on-4 is the right option for you.
Step 2: Implant Placement
Four implants are placed in the jawbone in precise positions to provide maximum stability and support for your new smile.
Step 3: Temporary Restoration
In many cases, a temporary set of teeth can be placed the same day, allowing you to leave the office with a functional smile.
Step 4: Final Restoration
After healing, your final custom restoration is placed, designed to look natural and fit comfortably.
Am I a Candidate for All-on-4?
All-on-4 is often a great option for patients who have significant tooth loss or are currently wearing dentures. Because of the strategic placement of implants, many patients who have experienced bone loss may still qualify for treatment.
We will evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and goals to determine if this treatment is right for you.
All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dentures
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 implants are fixed in place and do not shift or slip. This provides greater stability, improved chewing ability, and a more natural feel. Many patients find that All-on-4 offers a more comfortable and confident long-term solution.
