What All-on-4 means here
All-on-4 is a way of planning implant treatment so a full arch of replacement teeth can be supported by a small number of implants rather than one implant for every missing tooth. This page is for full-arch treatment. If you are replacing a single missing tooth, see Dental Implants.
The name refers to a common way of supporting a full arch. It does not mean every patient receives exactly four implants. Implant positions and implant number are planned for the person in the chair.
All-on-4 describes an implant-planning approach for supporting a full arch with a small number of implants. Permanent Teeth describes this clinic’s fixed implant-supported teeth for full-arch rehabilitation. They are closely related, but examination and imaging determine whether and how those concepts apply to your treatment plan. Full Mouth Dental Implants is the broader conversation about replacing many or all teeth, while Implant Dentures are typically removable for cleaning.
Who it may be for
Who may be a candidate for All-on-4?
All-on-4 may be considered when a patient needs to replace most or all teeth in an arch and wants a fixed restoration rather than a denture that rests only on the gums. Eligibility is not assumed from this description.
- 01Often considered when many teeth are missing, failing, or no longer comfortable to restore one by one.
- 02May be discussed when someone wants a full-arch solution and has enough bone support — or when other planning is needed first.
- 03People currently wearing dentures sometimes explore this approach if they want teeth that stay in place during eating and speaking. That preference is a starting point for the conversation, not a diagnosis.
How treatment is planned
How All-on-4 treatment is planned
No surgery protocol is published here. The sequence below is the planning pathway used before any treatment is recommended.- 01
Assessment and consultation
The dentist reviews your remaining teeth, gums, health history, and goals. This is where this fixed full-mouth rehabilitation option, a removable implant denture, or another plan may be discussed.
- 02
Imaging and implant planning
Imaging helps the dentist study bone support and plan implant positions. Four implants per arch is a common pattern for this approach; it is not promised for every case.
- 03
Implant placement and provisional restoration
If All-on-4 planning is recommended, implant placement and the restoration follow the agreed plan. Whether a provisional set of teeth is used, and when a final restoration is placed, depends on the individual case.
- 04
Final restoration and follow-up
Reviews after treatment check healing, comfort, and how the restoration is functioning. Daily cleaning and regular clinic visits remain part of long-term care.
A balanced view
Benefits and limitations of an All-on-4 approach
All-on-4 may reduce the number of implants needed to support a full arch compared with replacing every missing tooth individually. It supports a fixed restoration rather than one designed for daily removal. These are features of the approach, not guaranteed outcomes.
Not every patient is suitable, and “All-on-4” does not guarantee that exactly four implants will be used. Bone support, remaining teeth, medical history, implant position, additional procedures, and restoration design must be assessed individually.
After treatment
Recovery and aftercare
- 01
Recovery depends on the treatment plan
Recovery varies based on the number and position of implants, your health, and whether additional procedures are part of the plan. Your dentist provides individualized post-operative instructions for your treatment. This page does not promise a universal recovery timeline.
- 02
Cleaning a fixed full-arch restoration
Fixed full-arch teeth still require daily cleaning around and underneath the restoration, along with regular dental visits. The clinic will explain which tools and techniques are appropriate for your restoration design.

Questions
Before you book
Does All-on-4 always use four implants?
Four implants per arch is a common way to plan this treatment, which is why the name is used. It is not a guarantee. Imaging and examination determine how many implants are appropriate for your jaw and restoration.
Is All-on-4 the same as permanent teeth?
They are closely related. All-on-4 is an implant-planning approach for supporting a fixed full arch with a small number of implants. Permanent Teeth describes this clinic’s fixed implant-supported teeth for full-arch rehabilitation. Examination and imaging determine whether and how those concepts apply to your treatment plan.
Can I leave with new teeth the same day?
Some full-arch plans use a provisional restoration after implant placement. Whether that applies to you depends on the clinical findings. This page does not promise same-day teeth.
How much does All-on-4 treatment cost?
The published starting fees are $19,995 for a single arch and $38,000 for a double arch when paid upfront. These are not final quotes. Examination and imaging determine the treatment plan, whether additional care is needed, and the final fee.
What is included, and are payment arrangements available?
Your written treatment plan will confirm what is included, whether additional care is needed, and the final fee. Ask the clinic team which payment arrangements are available for your plan.
How is this different from implant dentures?
Implant dentures are dentures supported by implants and are typically removable for cleaning. All-on-4 planning is usually discussed when the goal is a fixed set of teeth. Your dentist will explain which direction, if either, may suit you.
