Who May Be a Candidate for All-on-4?

All-on-4 may be considered for patients who:

• Are missing most or all teeth in an arch
• Have multiple failing or non-restorable teeth
• Currently wear removable dentures
• Want to explore fixed implant-supported tooth replacement
• Have sufficient oral and overall health for implant treatment

Available bone, gum health, medical history and other factors must be evaluated before determining candidacy.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and are removable. An All-on-4 restoration is supported by dental implants placed within the jawbone.

Implant support can provide increased stability compared with conventional removable dentures and may improve chewing function and confidence for appropriate patients.

Neither treatment is right for everyone. Your dentist can explain the advantages, limitations, maintenance requirements and costs of each option.

All on 4 dental implants have proven to be just as effective as traditional dental implants and offer a number of benefits, including the following:

Enhanced appearance

Dental implants can put years of life back into your smile by smoothing out facial wrinkles caused by missing teeth, preserving the jawbone structure, and improving your overall self-confidence.

Improved dental function

Unlike dentures, dental implants do not require any additional care and allows you to eat, speak and smile without fear of your prosthetic teeth becoming loose or falling out.

Better oral health

Not only do dental implants improve one’s appearance and dental function, but dental implants can actually reverse damage caused by missing teeth and periodontal disease. All-on-4 dental implants are placed at an angle into the jawbone to ensure maximum contact with the gums and jaw, which stimulates the tissue beneath and promotes natural growth.

Immediate results

All-on-4 dental implants can be placed in as little as one day, enhancing a patient’s dental function, oral health and appearance in just a single visit.

Cost-effective

Because fewer implants are needed for the surgery, the cost of All-on-4 dental implants tends to be less than that of traditional implants for teeth replacement on a full arch.

Long-lasting

Dental implants are a non-removable permanent teeth replacement solution. With the right care, your new smile should last a lifetime.

More compatible

All on 4 dental implants are ideal for patients with multiple missing teeth or those who do not have sufficient bone volume to place one dental implant per tooth. Because only four dental implants are used per arch, less bone density is needed in order to place All on 4 dental implants, allowing patients who otherwise aren’t able to receive dental implants to have the smile they’ve always wanted.
