770-921-9000All-on-4® dental implants provide a reliable and minimally invasive solution for replacing a full arch of missing teeth. This innovative treatment allows you to restore your smile with a fixed prosthetic supported by only four strategically placed dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 implants offer a secure and permanent solution that enhances both function and aesthetics while eliminating many of the drawbacks associated with removable dentures.
How All-on-4 Implants Work
The All-on-4 system utilizes four titanium implant posts, which are placed at precise angles to maximize bone support. Because of this strategic placement, even patients with reduced bone density may qualify for the procedure without needing a bone graft. In many cases, our skilled dentist can attach a temporary prosthetic on the same day as your implant placement, allowing you to regain your smile immediately. After a healing period, a customized, permanent prosthetic is placed, giving you a natural-looking and durable set of teeth.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implants
Choosing All-on-4 implants comes with several advantages over traditional dentures and individual implants, including:
- Full-arch restoration with fewer implants – Only four implants are needed to support a complete set of teeth, reducing overall treatment time and complexity.
- Immediate results – In most cases, a temporary denture is attached immediately after surgery, so you can leave with a functional smile.
- No need for bone grafting – The angled placement of the implants often eliminates the need for additional bone grafting procedures.
- Enhanced stability and comfort – All-on-4 implants provide a secure foundation, preventing the slipping or discomfort associated with traditional dentures.
- Long-term durability – With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last for decades, making them a cost-effective solution for long-term oral health.
- Improved confidence and quality of life – This treatment restores the ability to eat, speak and smile naturally, without worrying about dentures shifting or causing discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4 Implants
How do All-on-4 implants differ from traditional dentures?
All-on-4 implants are permanently fixed in place, unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums. This means they do not shift, require adhesives or need to be removed for cleaning. The implants integrate with the jawbone, providing a more stable, comfortable and natural-feeling replacement for missing teeth.
What is the recovery process like after All-on-4 implant surgery?
Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort for a few days after surgery, which can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. A soft diet is recommended for several weeks to allow proper healing. Over time, the implants fuse with the bone, creating a strong and lasting foundation. Our dentist and team will provide you with detailed post-op instructions to help you recover.
Are All-on-4 implants a good option for patients with bone loss?
Yes, All-on-4 implants are often an excellent choice for patients with bone loss. The unique placement of the implants maximizes existing bone structure, reducing or eliminating the need for bone grafting. Our dentist will assess your jawbone density to determine if this treatment is the best option for you.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last decades or even a lifetime. Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular dental checkups and avoiding smoking or excessive teeth grinding will help extend their longevity. The prosthetic teeth may need occasional adjustments or replacement over time due to normal wear.
