Full-Arch Dental Implants

A Fixed Full-Arch Tooth Replacement Option

All-on-4 dental implants use four strategically placed implants to support a fixed full-arch restoration for patients who are missing most or all of their upper or lower teeth.

For patients who meet the clinical criteria and have adequate implant stability, a fixed provisional restoration may be placed on the day of implant surgery. Your final treatment sequence depends on your examination, health, bone anatomy, and healing.

Full-Arch Support

Four implants are positioned to support a fixed upper or lower restoration rather than replacing every missing tooth with an individual implant.

Patient-Specific Planning

Your dentist evaluates your teeth, gums, bone, bite, and overall health before recommending All-on-4 or another tooth-replacement option.

Provisional Teeth When Appropriate

Some qualifying patients can receive a fixed provisional restoration on the day their implants are placed. Same-day placement is not appropriate for every patient.

Ongoing Care

Follow-up visits, daily cleaning, and professional maintenance help protect the implants, restoration, gums, and supporting bone.

All-on-4 Frequently Asked Questions

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

All-on-4 may be considered when most or all teeth in an arch are missing or cannot be predictably restored. A clinical examination and imaging are necessary because implant health, bone anatomy, medical history, and treatment goals differ for every patient.

Can I receive teeth on the same day?

Some patients who meet the clinical criteria and achieve adequate implant stability can receive a fixed provisional restoration on the day of surgery. The final restoration and overall timeline are planned individually.

Will I need bone grafting?

The implant positions used for All-on-4 may reduce the need for grafting in some cases, but it cannot be ruled out without evaluating your anatomy and treatment needs.

What should I expect during recovery?

Swelling, soreness, diet restrictions, and recovery time vary. Your care team will provide instructions based on your procedure and explain when to call with a concern.

How much does All-on-4 cost?

Cost depends on the examination, imaging, number of arches, materials, and any additional care in your treatment plan. Waverly Dental will provide a personalized estimate after your consultation.

Does insurance cover All-on-4?

Dental benefits vary by plan and procedure. The office can help review available benefits, and you can learn about payment options on our insurance and financing page.
