How long do All-on-4 implants last?

With proper care and regular dental visits, All-on-4 implants are designed to last 20 years or more. The prosthetic bridge typically needs replacement every 10-15 years, while the implants themselves can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene.

Does insurance cover All-on-4 dental implants?

Coverage varies by plan. Many dental insurance providers offer partial coverage for implant procedures. We accept a wide range of insurance plans and offer flexible financing options to make treatment accessible. Our team can help verify your benefits during your consultation.

How is All-on-4 different from traditional implants?

Traditional implants require one implant per missing tooth, which can mean 6-8 implants per arch and often requires bone grafting. All-on-4 uses just four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch, typically eliminating the need for bone grafting and reducing treatment time significantly.

Can I eat normally with All-on-4 implants?

Yes. Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 implants are fixed in place and function like natural teeth. Patients can enjoy a full range of foods, including steak, apples, and crunchy vegetables, with confidence and comfort.

Is All-on-4 treatment painful?

The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you won't feel discomfort during surgery. Most patients report manageable soreness afterward, similar to a tooth extraction. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are available to address any concerns during recovery.

Full Arch in One Day

Fixed & Non-Removable

Just 4 Implants Per Arch

Preserves Jawbone Health

◦ A Full Smile, Rebuilt

A complete arch,
in a single day.

All-on-4 replaces a full row of teeth with a fixed, non-removable prosthesis anchored to just four implants — no plates covering your palate, no adhesives, and no taking your teeth out at night.

How It Works

Four Implants, One Solid Arch

The technique places two implants toward the front of the jaw and two angled toward the back, tapping into your densest available bone. That angled positioning creates a stable foundation strong enough to support a full arch immediately — often without the bone grafting that conventional implants can require. For a single gap, a standalone dental implant may be the better fit.

All-on-4 Is Ideal For:

Missing most or all teeth in an arch
A failing dentition or loose, worn teeth
Anyone tired of ill-fitting removable dentures

Why It's Better

Fixed Teeth That Feel Like Yours

Because your new teeth are anchored to implants rather than resting on your gums, they don't slip, click, or need adhesives. The implants also stimulate your jawbone every time you chew — helping preserve bone and facial structure the way natural roots would. If you prefer a removable option, ask about implant-supported dentures.

The Lasting Benefits:

Fixed and permanent — never removed at home
Preserves jawbone and facial structure
Eat, speak, and smile with full confidence

Every full-arch plan is customized to your anatomy, health, and goals — never a one-size-fits-all approach.

◦ Weighing Options

All-on-4 vs.
Traditional Dentures.

Both replace a full arch of teeth, but they live in your mouth very differently. Here's how All-on-4 compares to conventional removable dentures.

◦ Your Journey

The path to your new smile.

All-on-4 is a staged process, but it moves quickly — and you're never without teeth along the way. Here's how your treatment unfolds.

Consultation

Dr. Greene evaluates your remaining teeth, gums, and bone with a thorough exam and 3D imaging, then designs a full-arch plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Placement

Any failing teeth are removed and four implants are precisely positioned into the jaw. Sedation options keep the procedure calm, gentle, and comfortable.

Same-Day Teeth

A fixed temporary arch is secured to your new implants the same day, so you leave with a complete, functioning smile while your implants heal.

Final Prosthesis

After the implants fully integrate over a few months, we attach your custom, permanent arch — precisely crafted for lasting comfort, strength, and beauty.

◦ Frequently asked

Questions,
answered.

What are All-on-4 dental implants?

All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement that restores an entire upper or lower row of teeth using just four dental implants. Two implants are placed toward the front and two are angled at the back to maximize contact with your available bone. A complete arch of fixed, non-removable prosthetic teeth is then secured to those implants — recreating a full, stable smile.

Can I really get teeth in a single day?

In most cases, yes. Because the four implants are positioned to provide immediate stability, Dr. Greene can often attach a fixed temporary arch the same day your implants are placed — a concept commonly called "teeth in a day." You leave your appointment with functioning teeth rather than an empty mouth, and your permanent prosthesis is fitted once the implants have fully healed.

Are All-on-4 implants removable like dentures?

No — and that's one of their biggest advantages. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and are taken out nightly, All-on-4 teeth are firmly fixed to your implants. There are no adhesives, no slipping, and no removing them to soak. You care for them much like natural teeth, and only your dentist removes the prosthesis for periodic professional cleaning.

Am I a candidate for All-on-4?

All-on-4 is ideal for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, or whose remaining teeth are failing. Because the technique uses angled implants, many people who were told they lacked enough bone for conventional implants still qualify without grafting. During your consultation, Dr. Greene reviews your bone, gum health, and goals to confirm the right approach — which might also include single dental implants or implant-supported dentures.

How much do All-on-4 implants cost, and is financing available?

The investment depends on your specific needs, materials, and whether any extractions are required. Because All-on-4 uses just four implants per arch, it's often more affordable than replacing teeth individually. Our team will review your options and financing so you know what to expect — see our Insurance & Financing page for details.
