All-on-4 Dental Implants - A Smile Revolution

Discover the marvel of All-on-4 dental implants, a revolutionary solution for teeth replacement. This cutting-edge treatment replaces an entire arch of upper or lower teeth with fixed prosthetic teeth, anchored by four dental implants.

All-on-4 In a Nutshell

All-on-4 implants are a surgical procedure designed to seamlessly replace a full arch of upper or lower teeth with a set of fixed prosthetic teeth. Four dental implants act as robust support, anchoring implant bridges to the jawbone. This immediate transformation is often referred to as "teeth in a day," where a temporary bridge is replaced by a permanent one in subsequent months. Watch a quick video about All-on-4 dental implants on YouTube.

The Design of an All-on-4 Arch

Each All-on-4 arch consists of 10 to 14 teeth, forming a complete set for the upper or lower jaw. A temporary prosthesis, made of acrylic, lasts about six months. This paves the way for a final prosthesis crafted from materials like titanium, acrylic-coated, zirconia, or porcelain.
