How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?
All-on-4 uses four strategically placed dental implants to support a full denture. This is a much faster and more cost-effective way to replace a large number of missing teeth versus using an individual implant per tooth. Two implants are located within the front of the jaw where the bone is naturally thicker, and two more are placed at an angle toward the back. They all work together to provide a firm foundation for a denture that simply snaps onto them, giving patients the security that a typical removable denture simply can’t replicate.
What Is the All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure Like?
As with any dental procedure, All-on-4 starts with a call to your Long Island implant dentist for a consultation. At this appointment, we’ll take a few X-rays of your jawbone and examine your mouth to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. If you are, we’ll discuss how your treatment process will go.
Typically, it will begin with us taking an impression of your bite so we can begin to design your new denture. We’ll also take a variety of scans over the course of a few follow-up appointments to determine the best locations for your implant posts. Once this is all ready, we’ll refer you to a local oral surgeon or periodontist to place the implants and attach the denture. Our dentists work closely with all of our specialists, so visiting them will feel like just another appointment with us.
After thoroughly numbing you, your specialist will position the implant posts within your jawbone and immediately load them with your dentures. Afterward, you may experience some soreness and swelling near your implants, but these symptoms should be easily managed with over-the-counter medicine. For the first few weeks, you’ll be advised to stick to a soft food diet to allow your implants ample time to bond with the surrounding bone. Once enough time has passed, you’ll be able to fully enjoy your renewed smile, eating your favorite foods without ever having to worry about your prosthetic.

All-on-4 Dental Implant FAQs
Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Because of the strategic placement of the implants, even some patients who have suffered bone loss in their jaw are candidates for the All-on-4 procedure. As long as you are in fair oral and overall health, there is a good chance that this treatment could work well for you.
How Long Will My All-on-4 Denture Last?
The denture you receive on the same day as your implant placement surgery will be a provisional (temporary) prosthetic. You will use it while your mouth heals, and your jaw will have a chance to form a strong bond with the implants. Following this period, your dentist will design and place your permanent All-on-4 set of teeth, which could last for 10 years or longer before it requires replacement.
How Can I Care for My All-on-4 Dentures?
Just like with your natural teeth, you should brush twice a day and be diligent about flossing. Using mild, low-abrasive toothpaste will reduce the risk that you will accidentally scratch your new teeth. It is also important that you attend regular dental checkups and cleanings. At these appointments, your dentist or hygienist will remove your denture and thoroughly clean the area around your dental implants.
Should I Choose All-on-4 or Traditional Dental Implants?
All-on-4 has a few advantages over traditional dental implants, including the quickness of the procedure. The chance that you will require a bone graft is also much lower with All-on-4. However, traditional dental implants are a better option for some people. Your dentist will carefully examine your teeth, help you compare the pros and cons of your treatment options, and make a personalized recommendation for how you should rebuild your smile.
From Beginning to End, How Long Does the All-on-4 Process Take?
Between your initial consultation and the time you receive your permanent All-on-4 denture, you can expect at least a few months to pass. Once your dentist examines your mouth, they’ll be able to provide you with a more personalized estimate for your treatment timeline.
