What are all-on-4 dental implants?

All-on-4 dental implants are a type of implant that uses four titanium posts to support an entire arch of artificial teeth. This type of implant is a good choice for people who are missing all of their teeth or have extensive damage to their teeth due to tooth decay or gum disease. All-on-4 implants can help restore your smile and improve your quality of life.

How are they different than traditional dental implants?

All-on-4 implants use only four titanium posts per arch, whereas traditional implants use at least 6 per arch.

There’s also a difference in implant placement. Traditional dental implants are placed straight within the bone, whereas the all-on-4 dental implant procedure places the artificial tooth root at an angle at the back of the jaw. This helps maximize the implant’s contact with the bone.

Both types of implants require oral surgery, but the all-on-4 procedure can usually be done more quickly than traditional dental implants since fewer posts need to be inserted into the jawbone.

Benefits of All-on-4 Implants for Replacing Missing Teeth

All-on-4 dental implants provide patients who are missing teeth with a replacement option that looks just like natural teeth. In addition to giving patients a natural-looking smile, there are many other reasons to consider this procedure:

  • The procedure takes less time than traditional dental implants.
  • In most cases, there is no need for a bone graft when you choose all-on-4 implants.
  • All-on-4 implants are more stable than traditional dentures.
  • You can eat and speak with confidence after the procedure.
  • Your overall dental health will improve when you remove teeth that have been badly damaged by decay.
  • All-on-4 implants can last many years with proper care.

FAQs About All-on-4 Implants

Placing dental implants requires oral surgery, so you’ll be under dental sedation the whole time. You will not experience any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience some soreness. You will receive aftercare instructions to help reduce pain and swelling in the days after the procedure.

Your oral surgeon will give you specific instructions for the recovery period after your surgery. You’ll need to stick to a soft food diet while your mouth heals. Rest is essential for recovery immediately after surgery, but you should be able to resume your normal daily activities within a few days of the procedure.

As a rough estimate, All-on-4 in Metuchen, NJ, starts at around $20,000 per arch. Like all surgeries, the cost of dental implants will vary by patient. Factors that will affect the price include the patient’s current oral health if extraction or bone grafting is needed, insurance, and several other factors. While the procedure can be costly, we offer multiple payment options and third-party financing to help you cover the cost of the procedure.

Dental insurance typically does not cover the cost of teeth whitening, as it is a cosmetic procedure and isn’t medically necessary.
