Am I a Good Candidate For All-on-4® Implant Dentures?

Has it been far too long since you’ve smiled? At Smile by Design Dental Group, we get it: Missing teeth can undermine your self-confidence — and they can also hurt your oral and whole-body health over time.

Our esteemed implant dentistry specialist, Dr. Michael Choi, DMD, a renowned dental implant expert with over 30 years of experience, has more than 15,000 restorative dental surgeries to his credit. Always at the forefront of the implant industry, Dr. Choi offers All-on-4® implant dentures as a stable, natural-feeling solution. This option is often ideal for people missing most or all teeth in their upper or lower jaw.

The All-on-4 System

This procedure uses four implants to secure a full arch of prosthetic teeth. Two implants are positioned vertically toward the front of the mouth, and the others are placed at an angle toward the back. This provides excellent stability, far exceeding that of traditional dentures.

What Makes You a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for All-on-4 if you have:

• Missing Teeth: If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, All-on-4 could be a great option.
• Healthy Jawbone: All-on-4 is unique in that it doesn’t require as much jawbone support as individual implants typically do. It can be a good option even if you have mild bone loss. However, you do need some healthy bone. If you need extra support, we also offer All-on-6, a version of the same concept with two extra implants for added stability.
• Good General Health: Before you get All-on-4, you must be in overall good health without uncontrolled conditions like diabetes.

Ideal candidates for All-on-4 are seeking a permanent solution for missing teeth. Many patients opt for All-on-4 after considering other choices like removable dentures first. If you meet these criteria, All-on-4 could transform your smile — and your quality of life.

Benefits of All-on-4 Implants

All-on-4 implants offer several advantages:

• Fast Treatment: You can get a new smile in just one appointment. You wear your temporary teeth home, and in several months (after you heal) Dr. Choi places your permanent dentures.
• Permanent Solution: Your new teeth are a permanent part of your mouth. This makes it easier to chew comfortably and speak confidently without worrying about your teeth slipping or falling out.
• Bone Preservation: The dental implants stimulate jaw bone renewal, which preserves jaw strength and helps prevent facial collapse. This helps maintain a youthful appearance.

Dr. Choi customizes your treatment plan to ensure the best functional and aesthetic results.
