All-on-4 Dental Implants Dallas

A Complete Smile Is Within Your Reach!

Dental implant posts are designed to act as prosthetic tooth roots. But does that mean you need one for each missing tooth? No, it does not. In fact, thanks to the remarkable All-on-4 method, our Dallas dental team can replace a full arch of teeth with as few as four implants. Plus, this is an expected process, so it can put a complete smile within your reach faster than you might think! Would you like to learn more about this remarkable tooth replacement method? Continue reading below, or reach out directly to Mariya Barnett, DDS, Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. We look forward to speaking with you!

How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?

During the All-on-4 surgery, we usually accomplish three things: We remove any remaining natural teeth, place dental implants, and restore the implants with a temporary denture. Because so much happens during the same appointment, the All-on-4 method is sometimes called Teeth in a Day.

A unique feature of this treatment is the placement of the implants. Two go toward the front of the mouth, and two go toward the back at an angle. This careful strategy utilizes areas of the jawbone that are naturally strong and thick, so there is usually no need for a bone graft.

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

You might be a candidate for the All-on-4 treatment if:

  • You are missing all or most of your teeth throughout one of your dental arches.
  • You have good habits that will support the long-term success of your new smile.
  • Your jawbone is strong enough to support dental implants.
  • You are in fair oral and overall health.

Even if you are not sure whether you qualify for All-on-4, we encourage you to visit us for a consultation. Most adults with extensive tooth loss can get this procedure, either right away or after some preliminary care.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

With All-on-4 treatment, you can expect to experience the following benefits:

  • A strong bite. Dental implants are remarkably sturdy, so you can enjoy a strong bite that can stand up to virtually any food.
  • A beautiful smile. We pay great attention to detail when designing implant dentures so they look as natural as possible.
  • Jawbone preservation. Because dental implants stimulate the jawbone, they can help to keep it strong and whole. In turn, this helps to preserve your natural facial shape.
  • An All-on-4 denture is fixed in the mouth, so you can enjoy the convenience of having a complete smile 24/7.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants

There are a few key differences between traditional dental implant and All-on-4:

  • Number of implants used. Whereas All-on-4 usually uses four implants, complete arch replacement with traditional implants could require 6 – 8 posts.
  • Number of surgeries. All-on-4 typically requires one surgery, while traditional implants may require two or more.
  • Treatment timeline. All-on-4 is usually faster than traditional implants.
  • Traditional implants can replace any number of lost teeth, but All-on-4 is exclusively for full arch replacement.
  • In some cases, traditional implants provide greater bite strength and stability than All-on-4.
