What is an All-on-4® Bridge? A Revolution in Full Arch Restoration

An All-on-4® bridge is a revolutionary and life-changing solution for individuals who have lost, or are about to lose, an entire arch of teeth. It is a full-arch prosthesis, a complete set of beautiful, natural-looking teeth, that is permanently and securely fixed onto a foundation of just four strategically placed dental implants.

Unlike a traditional removable denture that rests on the gums, an All-on-4® bridge is a permanent, non-removable part of your smile. The innovation lies in the four titanium implants that support it, which are often placed at an angle to engage the densest parts of your jawbone. This technique frequently eliminates the need for extensive bone grafting, making a permanent, fixed bridge a reality for more patients than ever before.

The Advantage of a Fixed All-on-4® Bridge

The most significant benefit of receiving an All-on-4® bridge is the ability to restore your smile with immediate function and confidence.

A "Same-Day" Smile: In most cases, you can leave our office on the day of your procedure with a beautiful, functional, and fixed provisional bridge attached to your new implant foundation.
Avoids Major Bone Grafting: The unique implant strategy that supports the bridge often eliminates the need for a separate, lengthy bone grafting surgery, saving you time and expense.
A Permanent, Stable Solution: Your All-on-4® bridge is securely anchored, meaning it will not slip, click, or rub against your gums like a removable denture.
Restores Full Chewing Power: The stability of the bridge allows you to regain the ability to eat all your favorite foods with confidence, significantly improving your quality of life.

The process begins with meticulous 3D planning. On the day of the procedure, the implant foundation is placed, and your custom provisional bridge is attached. After a period of healing, your final, permanent bridge, crafted from even more durable materials, such as zirconia, is designed and secured.

Your All-on-4® Bridge Questions Answered

How is an All-on-4® bridge different from traditional dentures? An All-on-4® bridge is a permanent, non-removable restoration that is anchored to your jawbone. It feels and functions like natural teeth. Conventional dentures are removable, can be unstable, and rest on the gums, which can lead to bone loss over time.
Is the bridge I get on the first day my permanent one? On the day of your procedure, you receive a beautiful and highly functional provisional (temporary) bridge. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of a fixed smile while the underlying implants heal. Your final, permanent bridge, made from more durable, long-lasting materials, is placed a few months later.
Am I a candidate for this procedure? Ideal candidates are individuals who are missing most or all of their teeth in an arch or are frustrated with their current dentures. A comprehensive consultation, including a 3D scan, is necessary to confirm if an All-on-4® bridge is right for you.
How do you care for an All-on-4® bridge? You will care for your bridge with daily brushing, just as you would with natural teeth. It is also crucial to clean underneath it. We will show you how to use specialized tools, such as a water flosser (Waterpik), and other cleaning aids to maintain the health of your implant foundation and gums.
