How does all on 4 work?

Implant Placement

The four titanium implants serve as artificial roots. They are surgically embedded into the jawbone—two near the front and two towards the back. What’s unique about the rear implants is that they are typically angled, allowing them to harness the denser bone available in those regions. This angulation not only maximizes support but also often eliminates the need for bone grafting, even in patients with some bone loss.

Prosthesis Design

The prosthetic arch isn’t just a set of teeth. It’s a meticulously designed unit that mimics the appearance and function of natural teeth while also compensating for some of the gum tissue lost. Its design ensures even distribution of biting forces across the implants and jaw.

Immediate Functionality

One of the standout features of the All-on-4 procedure is the possibility of immediate loading. In many cases, patients can receive a temporary set of teeth on the same day as the implant surgery, restoring their ability to speak, smile, and chew almost immediately. Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone—a process that can take several months—a permanent, more durable prosthesis replaces the temporary one.
