What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 uses four titanium implants to anchor a complete arch of fixed teeth. The back implants are angled to take advantage of available bone, which often means qualifying patients can avoid bone grafting and receive a temporary set of teeth the same day as surgery.
Benefits of All-on-4 implants
- A full arch of fixed teeth — they never come out
- Often no bone graft needed thanks to angled implants
- Leave with temporary teeth the same day in many cases
- Restores full chewing power and a confident smile
- Stops the bone loss caused by missing teeth and dentures
Is All-on-4 right for you?
All-on-4 is ideal if you are missing most or all of your teeth, are tired of removable dentures, or have failing teeth that need to be replaced. Dr. Kadivar uses 3D imaging to confirm you are a candidate and to plan the precise position of each implant.
Frequently asked questions
Can I really get teeth in one day with All-on-4?
Many qualifying patients receive a fixed set of temporary teeth on the day of surgery. After healing, these are replaced with your final, permanent bridge. Candidacy is confirmed with a 3D scan beforehand.
Do All-on-4 implants feel like real teeth?
Yes. Because they are fixed to implants rather than resting on the gums, All-on-4 teeth are stable and let you eat and speak with confidence — unlike removable dentures.
