What is All-on-4?

The All-on-4 method offers a minimally invasive way to restore a full set of teeth with just four implants supporting a complete arch. This approach allows patients who’ve lost all their teeth or need extractions due to decay to regain a natural-looking, fully functional smile in a single appointment under local anesthesia. With All-on-4, there’s no need for multiple surgeries, making it a convenient, effective solution for a complete smile restoration.

Who Should Get All-on-4?

Anyone who wants a permanent, natural-looking set of replacement teeth can benefit from dental implants. The All-on-4® system provides a lasting alternative to dentures, ideal for those missing multiple teeth, wearing dentures, or lacking bone density for individual implants. This procedure is faster, more affordable, and allows patients to enjoy a healthy, full lifestyle with restored confidence.

All-on-4 implants offer several advantages over dentures. They’re cared for like natural teeth and allow patients to eat without restrictions or the need for uncomfortable wires or brackets. All-on-4® implants provide a natural look, withstand more bite force, and prevent jawbone deterioration by stimulating bone regrowth, which helps restore facial structure. This permanent solution lets patients enjoy their favorite foods and maintain their smile’s natural appearance

The Success of the All-on-4 Procedure

The Oral and Maxillofacial Associates state that All-on-4® implants have a success rate of 98 percent. With All-on-4 implants, patients have a 98 percent probability of leaving our Coral Gables offices with a perfect set of teeth that are permanently attached to your jawbone.

The Process of Getting All-on-4

The All-on-4 implant surgery typically takes about two and a half hours per arch and can be done on the upper, lower, or both arches simultaneously. Although complex, the procedure is efficient and involves four key steps:

1. Examination: We assess your records, current conditions, and facial structure needs.
2. CT Scans: 3D scans help map the jawbone, including the location of sinuses and nerves.
3. Simulation: We create a digital model to determine optimal implant positions and fabricate your new teeth.
4. Surgery: Under anesthesia, we secure the implants in the jawbone, giving you a stable, natural-looking set of teeth.
