What is All-On-4?
All-on-4 is a modern, full-arch dental implant solution designed to replace an entire row of missing or damaged teeth—either in the upper or lower jaw—using just four strategically placed implants. This technique supports a fixed, full set of teeth and eliminates the need for individual implants for each missing tooth.

How Is It Different from Traditional Implants?

Conventional Implants: Typically one implant per missing tooth. May require 6–8 implants per arch and bone grafting in low-density areas.
What Type of Prosthesis Is Used in All-on-4?
All-on-4 treatments typically use a fixed hybrid prosthesis, but this is not the only option. The type of prosthesis depends on your bone structure, aesthetic goals, and budget.
Hybrid Prosthesis
Combines a metal framework (usually titanium or cobalt-chrome) with porcelain, acrylic or zirconium teeth, often including artificial gum tissue. It’s fixed to the implants and cannot be removed by the patient.
Mimics both teeth and gums
Lightweight and cost-effective
Easy to repair or adjust if needed
Zirconium Bridge
A full-arch bridge made entirely of zirconium offering high strength and natural aesthetics. Often preferred by patients who want a gum-free, ultra-realistic smile.
No pink gum component
Highly durable and stain-resistant
Precision aesthetics, especially in the smile zone
Choosing the Right Prosthesis
Your dentist will help you choose the best option based on:
Bone volume and gum visibility
Aesthetic expectations
Functional needs (chewing strength, speech)
Budget and long-term goals

Healing & Aftercare
Follow your dentist’s post-op instructions carefully The first 24–48 hours are critical—rest, avoid strenuous activity, and take prescribed medications as directed.
Use cold compresses to reduce swelling Apply gently to the outside of your cheeks in the first 1–2 days.
Stick to a soft food diet during healing Soups, smoothies, and soft-cooked vegetables are ideal. Avoid crunchy, sticky, or hard foods.
Brush and floss daily using implant-safe tools Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Consider a water flosser for gentle cleaning.
Avoid hard foods during healing Biting into nuts, ice, or hard bread can damage your temporary prosthesis.
Do not smoke or consume alcohol These can delay healing and increase the risk of implant failure.
Attend regular check-ups to ensure long-term success Your dentist will monitor implant integration and adjust your bite if needed.
Maintain excellent oral hygiene Even though implants don’t decay, healthy gums are essential for long-term stability.
