All-on-Four Dental Implants

At North Miami Dental Group, we are proud to help patients reclaim their confidence and restore their smiles through different types of dental implants. For those who are toothless or nearly toothless, all-on-4 dental implants can restore an entire row of missing teeth while minimizing surgeries and downtime.

With our in-house oral surgeon, Dr. Corredor, and cosmetic and general dentist Dr. Jacobs, you can rejuvenate your smile completely in our office with zero outside trips or the need for multiple specialist appointments.

What Are All-on-4 Implants?

All-on-4 dental implants are a full-mouth reconstructive solution for patients who are toothless (edentulous). Whether you have full or partial edentulism, the cost and time it would take to replace the majority of your teeth with single dental implants could quickly become overwhelming and impractical.

All-on-4 implants consist of four dental implants that support 10–14 artificial teeth that rest over the gums (fixed dentures). This allows patients to completely replace their upper and/or lower arch without having to sit through multiple implant surgeries or resign themselves to a lifetime of dentures with no jaw support.

Using all-on-4 implants as an alternative to dentures can give you a beautiful new smile that looks and feels like your own. Although only four implants are placed during the surgery, you receive a full arch of natural-looking teeth.

Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?

You may be the right fit for all-on-4 implants if:

You are missing both teeth on one or both of your arches.

1

You have healthy gums.

2

You are generally in good health.

3

You are generally in good health.

4

Patients with low bone density can still be good candidates for all-on-4 or all-on-6 implants. It’s important to discuss your options with an experienced dentist and oral surgeon who understand the nuances of treatment. Luckily, our team at North Miami Dental Group has restored hundreds of smiles and can give you the quality care you deserve.

Difference Between All-on-4 and Traditional Dental Implants

Traditional dental implants place one tooth at a time. All-on-4 supports an entire arch of teeth in four implants. This makes a profound difference in how comfortable you are during treatment, how much replacing a full mouth of teeth costs, and how long you need to recover.

An endosteal implant procedure uses a titanium screw to serve as a replacement root. It is topped with a piece called an abutment, which is later topped with a crown that looks like a natural tooth.

Some patients need other types of dental implants to achieve their smile goals, such as subperiosteal implants, which are mounted on a metal framework beneath the gums rather than placed in the jaw. Zygomatic implants are inserted into the cheekbone.

Our oral surgeon, Dr. Corredor, will work closely with you and Dr. Jacobs to develop a personalized treatment plan for your needs. We want to minimize discomfort and time in the chair to help you achieve a radiant, healthy smile that you’re proud of.

Paying for an entire mouth of individual dental implants, or even just one arch, is unrealistic and impractical. Patients who need this level of rejuvenation are much more likely to benefit from all-on-4 dental implants.

All-on-6 Dental Implants

Another option for patients to consider is all-on-6 dental implants, which create permanent dental prostheses using six individual dental implants attached to natural-looking, fully functional artificial teeth.

All-on-6 procedures can offer a more stable foundation for the teeth, replacing the entire upper or lower arch in one treatment. However, many patients can benefit from all-on-4 and save money in the process.

We will recommend the appropriate number of treatments for you based on a thorough examination. Some patients may need added structural stability if they have poor bone density. We might also recommend bone grafting, a procedure that implants new bone into the jaw so it can strengthen before receiving implants.

All-on-4 Dental Implants Benefits

There are many benefits to investing in all-on-4 implants to restore your smile.

The actual cost of all-on-4 implants will be determined based on factors such as whether you need bone grafting and if you get one or two arches.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Are All-on-4 Implants Needed?

All-on-4 implants are best for patients who have lost most or all of their upper or bottom teeth. Those seeking full-mouth reconstruction can benefit from this alternative to complete or partial dentures, as the implants are permanently fixed and functional exactly like real teeth.

Another added bonus of all-on-4 implants is their ability to enhance facial volume and structure. Those who have experienced hollowness or jaw collapse from missing teeth can completely rejuvenate their appearance through these implants.

Implants can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a much more desirable alternative to dentures, bridges, and other types of treatment. For patients who have complete tooth loss, all-on-4 can restore their entire mouth for 20 years or more. The implants themselves will likely never need to be replaced, but the dentures they’re attached to will need to be changed after two or three decades.

It’s vital that you prioritize good oral health before and after your treatment. Although they may be artificial teeth, you still need to brush and floss. This protects your gums from inflammation and infection that could lead to eventual gum disease.

In addition to good daily oral hygiene, seeing your dentist for regular exams will also help prolong the longevity of your all-on-4 implants.

The total recovery period for all-on-4 dental implants is about three weeks. However, the entire implant process varies from patient to patient. Factors like your medical and dental history, jawbone health, and the type of implant techniques used will influence treatment and recovery time.

You can count on us to give you a complete treatment timeline based on your needs. When you meet with us for a free consultation, we will assess your mouth and determine what you would likely be able to expect from all-on-4 or all-on-6 implants.

Financing options are available. Please speak with us if you would like to learn more. Dental insurance will also likely cover partial costs of treatment, so it’s important to talk with your provider about possible coverage.
