All-on-4 Dental Implants in Midvale

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 implants, also known as full-arch implants, use four titanium implant posts placed at strategic angles along the jawbone to support a complete arch of replacement teeth. The All-on-4 method restores the function of your bite and the beauty of your smile without needing an implant for every missing tooth.

Because our dentist can angle the rear implants to take advantage of the densest areas of your jaw, All-on-4 often eliminates the need for bone grafting. Surgery typically takes around two hours per arch, and in many cases a set of provisional teeth can be attached the same day.

Are You a Candidate for All-on-4?

You may be a candidate for All-on-4 dental implants if you:

• Have lost or damaged most of the teeth in an upper or lower arch
• Have gum disease or bone loss that prevents traditional implants
• Are tired of loose or uncomfortable dentures
• Have experienced dental trauma or jaw damage
• Want a permanent, fixed solution for missing teeth

Benefits of the All-on-4 Procedure

• Immediate improvement in quality of life – eat, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence
• Fewer implants and faster treatment – only four implants per arch, with provisional teeth often placed the same day
• Often no bone grafting – tilted implants make the procedure less invasive than many conventional options
• Stable, fixed teeth – the four implants act as pillars, so your teeth don’t slip like traditional dentures
• Long-term value – while the upfront cost may be higher, All-on-4 can avoid the ongoing maintenance costs of other restorations
• Bone preservation – implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent the bone loss that occurs after tooth loss

What to Expect During Treatment

Your journey begins with a consultation, exam, and imaging to evaluate your jawbone and plan implant placement. Any remaining failing teeth are removed, and the four implants are placed. A provisional arch is attached so you can enjoy a functional smile while your implants heal and fuse with the bone. After healing, your permanent, custom-crafted arch is placed. Sedation dentistry is available to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

All-on-4 vs. Other Tooth Replacement Options

If you are missing only one or a few teeth, individual dental implants or dental bridges may be a better fit. For patients with multiple dental concerns, All-on-4 may also be part of a full mouth reconstruction.
