Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. They work especially well for full arches of teeth in your upper and/or lower jaw. With full-arch dental implants, you’ll avoid many of the downsides of regular dentures.
Your dentist will use as few as four implants to secure a complete arch of replacement teeth. This special technique, which can be used in the upper and/or lower jaw, is typically called an All-on-4.

- Immediate Smile – With All-on-4 treatment, you can often get your implants and new teeth in one appointment. After placing four (or sometimes six) implants, your dentist will attach an arch of teeth to them. These teeth are temporary, but you wear them while your implants heal. You’ll be able to show off a full smile and eat many foods during this period. Once healing is complete, you’ll receive a more permanent set of replacement teeth.
- More Affordable – Implant dentures are often secured with eight implants. Your dentist uses half that many for an All-on-4, so the procedure typically costs less.
- Less Invasive Treatment – Since fewer implants are used, the treatment is also easier on your jaw. It will take less time, and you’ll heal in less time too.
- Simple to Maintain – The teeth you receive with an All-on-4 stay fixed in place. That means you won’t need denture tablets or soaking to clean them. Just brush and floss as you always have. Your dentist can remove your teeth if any extra maintenance is needed.
- Lifelike Function and Feel – Unlike traditional dentures, you won’t have to worry about embarrassing slips or shifts. Your teeth stay in place, and you’ll never need adhesive. It’s easier to eat and speak.
- Younger Looking Face – Once embedded in your jaw, dental implants function like natural tooth roots. They keep your teeth in place, but they also promote new bone growth in your jaw. This maintains your facial structure. Your face stays fuller and looks younger.
