Why Patients Choose All—on—4 Implants
All-on-4 treatment offers remarkable benefits for patients who need a full arch of teeth replaced:
- Fixed, stable teeth: Your new smile is permanently secured to implants and never needs to be removed at night.
- Fewer implants needed: Just four implants support an entire arch, simplifying treatment.
- Often avoids bone grafting: Angled rear implants make use of existing bone, which can shorten treatment time.
- Natural look and feel: Custom-designed teeth and gum-colored material create a lifelike, attractive smile.
- Restored chewing power: Enjoy crunchy, chewy, and healthy foods that may be difficult with traditional dentures.
- No palate coverage: Upper All-on-4 restorations leave the roof of your mouth uncovered, so you can taste food fully.
- Protects your jawbone: Implants stimulate the jaw to help prevent the bone loss that follows tooth loss.
- A confident smile: Speak, laugh, and eat without worrying about loose or shifting teeth.
Who Is a Good Candidate for All—on—4?

- Wear dentures that feel loose, uncomfortable, or unreliable

Your All—on—4 Treatment Journey
All-on-4 treatment is carefully planned to deliver a secure, beautiful full-arch smile. Here is what to expect:
Consultation and 3D Planning
We discuss your goals, review your medical history, and take detailed X-rays and scans to evaluate your jawbone and plan the ideal position and angle for each implant.
Custom Smile Design
Our dentists design the shape, size, and shade of your new teeth so they complement your face and smile naturally.
Extractions and Implant Placement
Any remaining failing teeth are removed, and four implants are placed in the jawbone in our Silverdale office. Local anesthetic keeps you comfortable throughout the procedure.
Temporary Full—Arch Teeth
In many cases, a fixed temporary bridge is attached shortly after implant placement, so you can leave with a complete smile while you heal.
Healing and Integration
Over the next several months, the implants fuse with your jawbone, creating a strong, permanent foundation. We monitor your healing at follow-up visits.
Final Permanent Restoration
Once healing is complete, your custom final bridge is secured to the implants, and we fine-tune your bite for comfort, function, and a natural appearance.
Adjusting to Life with All—on—4 Implants
Most patients adapt to their All-on-4 smile quickly. During the healing phase, you will follow a soft food diet to protect your implants while they integrate with the bone. As healing progresses, you will gradually return to your normal diet. Your speech may feel slightly different for the first few days as your tongue adjusts, but this usually improves quickly. Once your final restoration is placed, many patients say their new teeth feel remarkably close to natural teeth.
How Long Do All—on—4 Implants Last?
With proper care, the implants in an All-on-4 restoration can last a lifetime. The full-arch bridge attached to the implants typically lasts 15 to 20 years or longer before it may need to be refurbished or replaced due to normal wear. Good home care, regular professional cleanings, avoiding tobacco, and wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth all help extend the life of your new smile.
Insurance and Financing for All—on—4 Implants
Dental insurance coverage for All-on-4 varies by plan. Some plans cover portions of treatment, such as extractions, implants, or the final restoration. We accept a variety of insurance plans, and our team will review your benefits and provide a detailed cost estimate before treatment begins. We also offer CareCredit financing, allowing you to invest in your new smile with flexible monthly payments.
