The All-on-4 Dental Implant Approach

All-on-4 uses just four dental implants to secure an entire upper or lower denture. Because such a small number of dental implants is needed, they can all be placed in a single session that takes just a few hours. After the implants are in place, the patient can be fitted with a prosthetic arch.

Furthermore, the dental implants are placed toward the front of the jaw, with the outer two implants angled beneath the gumline to fully support the weight of the rear section of the denture.

The location of the dental implants in All-on-4 allows a sizeable group of patients to take advantage of this treatment option without a preliminary bone graft. Even patients who have experienced bone loss under the sinus cavity can still be good candidates for All-on-4.
