All-on-4®

Losing multiple teeth can deeply affect not only your ability to chew and speak but also your self-esteem and overall health. At Crown Point Smiles, we understand how challenging this can be. That’s why we offer advanced solutions like the All-on-4® treatment concept to restore your smile, function, and quality of life with precision and confidence.

This innovative procedure provides a full-arch restoration with just four strategically placed implants, delivering both stability and aesthetics in a single streamlined process. If you’re looking for a permanent alternative to removable dentures, All-on-4® may be the life-changing solution you’ve been searching for. Our practice in Crown Point offers this transformative treatment in a supportive and modern environment, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.

What Is All-on-4®?

The All-on-4® dental implant system is a revolutionary treatment option designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Rather than replacing each tooth individually, this method uses four dental implants to support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth. The result is a natural-looking and fully functional smile that doesn’t slip, shift, or require adhesive to stay in place.

Developed to simplify the tooth replacement process, All-on-4® allows for immediate loading, meaning the prosthetic teeth are often placed the same day as the implants. This makes it a faster, more efficient option compared to traditional implants or dentures, which may take several months and more surgeries to complete.

Why Choose All-on-4® Over Traditional Dentures?

Many patients come to us frustrated by the limitations of traditional dentures. The adhesives, daily removal, dietary restrictions, and uncomfortable slipping can be discouraging. All-on-4® implants eliminate these issues by anchoring the prosthesis directly into the jawbone.

Because the implants are fused to the bone, they offer unmatched stability. Patients can speak clearly, chew comfortably, and enjoy their favorite foods without hesitation. The long-term oral health benefits are equally significant. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, which helps prevent bone loss—a common issue with conventional dentures.

The Procedure: How All-on-4® Works

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Crown Point office. We conduct a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including digital imaging and a discussion of your goals. If All-on-4® is a good fit, we create a customized treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and desired outcome.

During the surgical procedure, four implants are strategically placed into the jawbone—two near the front and two angled in the back. This configuration maximizes contact with bone while avoiding anatomical structures like sinuses or nerves. Often, this eliminates the need for bone grafting, which is commonly required in traditional implant cases.

After the implants are placed, a temporary full-arch prosthesis is attached the same day. This immediate function allows patients to leave with a brand-new smile while their jawbone heals. Once healing is complete, a permanent, custom-crafted prosthesis is secured for long-term function and aesthetics.

Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4®?

This treatment is ideal for patients missing most or all of their teeth in one or both jaws. It’s also an excellent option for individuals currently wearing dentures who want a more permanent and comfortable solution.

Even those with some degree of bone loss may qualify, thanks to the angled placement of the implants. The best way to determine your eligibility is through a consultation with our experienced team at Crown Point Smiles.

Long-Term Benefits

All-on-4® provides natural-looking aesthetics, stronger bite function, and long-term oral health benefits. Implants help preserve bone and facial structure, avoiding the sunken appearance common with traditional dentures.

Patients often experience an immediate boost in confidence, better speech clarity, and an expanded diet. With proper care, these implants can last for decades.

Recovery and Maintenance

After surgery, patients typically experience mild swelling and discomfort, which subsides within a few days. Most return to normal activity within a week. Long-term maintenance involves daily brushing and flossing, along with regular checkups.

Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4® prosthetics are fixed and require no adhesives or soaking solutions.

We combine advanced imaging, surgical precision, and compassionate care to ensure optimal results. Our experienced team works with top dental labs to craft durable, natural-looking prosthetics tailored to each patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if All-on-4® is right for me?

+

If you are missing most or all of your teeth, or if you’ve been told you may need full dentures, All-on-4® could be a great option. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health, bone density, and goals to determine if this approach suits your needs. Many patients are surprised to learn they qualify even if they’ve been told they don’t have enough bone for traditional implants.

What makes All-on-4® different from regular dental implants?

+

All-on-4® uses just four implants to secure a full arch of teeth, whereas traditional implants often require six to eight per arch. This technique reduces the need for bone grafting and shortens both the surgery and recovery time. It’s a more streamlined, efficient solution for full-arch restoration.

Will my new teeth look natural?

+

Absolutely. The prosthetic teeth placed with All-on-4® are custom-designed to look and feel like your natural smile. We work with skilled lab technicians to ensure the size, shape, and color of your new teeth match your facial structure and personal preferences.

What is the recovery process like after the All-on-4® procedure?

+

Most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days. While some tenderness and swelling are expected, these symptoms typically subside quickly. You’ll be given detailed aftercare instructions and we’ll check in with you regularly to ensure you’re healing properly.

Can I really get teeth in a day with All-on-4®?

+

Yes, in many cases, we’re able to place a temporary set of teeth on the same day as your implant surgery. This allows you to leave our office with a functional, beautiful smile while your implants heal and your permanent set is being crafted.

Do I need bone grafting before getting All-on-4® implants?

+

One of the major advantages of All-on-4® is that it often eliminates the need for bone grafting. By strategically placing the implants where the bone is strongest, we can usually avoid this extra procedure—even for patients with some bone loss.

How long do All-on-4® implants last?

+

With proper care, All-on-4® implants can last for decades. The implants themselves are designed to be a permanent part of your jaw, and the prosthetic teeth may eventually need replacement after many years of use. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene are essential to long-term success.

What does gum treatment have to do with All-on-4® implants?

+

Healthy gums are the foundation of any implant procedure. If you have gum disease or inflammation, we’ll need to treat that first to ensure your implants have the best chance of long-term success. We take a comprehensive approach to your oral health, so everything is addressed before moving forward.

Is All-on-4® a painful procedure?

+

We do everything possible to make the experience as comfortable as possible. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and sedation is available if needed. Most patients report minimal discomfort during recovery, and any post-op symptoms can usually be managed with over-the-counter medication.

How much does the All-on-4® treatment cost, and is financing available?

+

Cost depends on your unique case, but we’re happy to provide a detailed estimate after your consultation. We also offer flexible financing options to help make your treatment affordable. We’ll walk you through all your choices and help you plan according to your budget.
