What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 is a revolutionary concept that uses the support of four dental implants in the jawbone to secure a full denture. Compared to a traditional complete denture, this restoration offers greater support, retention, and long-term stability.
The four implants placed in the jawbone act as anchors for the overlying denture. They secure the denture in place, preventing it from loosening or falling out. You can speak more easily and eat all your favorite foods with enhanced comfort.
Our skilled dental professionals customize the denture to match your natural teeth and gums. The result is a fuller, more beautiful smile that makes you feel confident.

Treatment Process of All-on-4 Implants
Like all other dental treatments, you will first have a consultation with our dental specialist, who will evaluate certain factors to decide whether you can benefit from this procedure. If you are a good candidate, we will finalize the treatment plan.
The first step of the treatment is the removal of the remaining teeth in your jaw. These teeth are typically lost or damaged, causing discomfort. We will give you a few days before the next visit to allow your jawbone to recover. In the next step, our dentist will surgically insert four dental implants in the jawbone. This is done with extreme precision to ensure optimal results.
We will then place a denture that acts as a placeholder until the implants merge with your jawbone. After a few months, we will replace it with a permanent denture that looks and functions just as well as your natural teeth.
Since the denture is fixed to the implants, you do not need to remove it and can enjoy your meals more comfortably.
