What Is All On 4?

All-on-4 provides a permanent and aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth, improving functionality and quality of life. This technique uses only four implants, with angled placement engaging available bone to reduce or eliminate the need for bone grafting. As Miss Endo Dental Team, we specialize in this procedure, leveraging extensive experience to manage complex cases.

Benefits of All On 4

Patients can receive temporary teeth the same day as implant placement. Only four implants support a full arch, making the procedure less invasive. It is more economical than traditional methods. The angled placement reduces the need for bone grafting. The implants provide a stable foundation improving chewing efficiency compared to removable dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions

The surgical procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours per arch. Temporary prosthetic teeth are usually attached the same day. The final permanent prosthesis is placed after 3 to 6 months of healing, once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild to moderate and can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients report less pain than expected.
The titanium implants can last a lifetime with proper care. The prosthetic arch may need replacement or refurbishment after 10 to 15 years. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene are essential to maximize the lifespan of your All On 4 restoration.
After the initial healing period, you can eat most foods normally. A soft diet is recommended for the first few weeks after surgery. Once the permanent prosthesis is placed, you can enjoy a wide variety of foods with improved chewing efficiency compared to dentures.
Implant failure is rare, occurring in less than 5 percent of cases. If an implant fails, it can usually be replaced with a new one. In some cases, the prosthesis can be modified to work with the remaining implants while the replacement heals. Your dentist will monitor your implants closely during follow-up visits.
