All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement approach that uses four strategically placed implants to support a fixed set of upper or lower teeth. It is often considered by patients who are missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, or who currently wear a removable denture and want a more stable, fixed alternative. Treatment planning and placement are typically coordinated between a prosthodontist or implant-trained dentist and a surgical specialist.
Planning Your Treatment
Because All-on-4 involves both surgical placement and the design of a full-arch restoration, careful imaging and planning matter. We use the following to help map out treatment before any implants are placed:
- 3D Cone Beam CT Imaging — shows bone density, nerve paths and available bone in one scan, which helps determine implant positioning.
- Guided Implant Surgery — surgical guides created from your 3D scan help place each implant in the position that was planned.
- Fully Digital Records — your imaging and treatment plan stay on file and can be shared across our offices as your care continues.
Who You May See
Full-arch implant cases are typically overseen by a prosthodontist or a dentist with implant-specific training, often alongside a surgeon for the implant placement itself. On our team, this includes prosthodontists Dr. Ghassan Abboud, Dr. Faisel Ashtewi, and Dr. Tala Ghishan, oral & maxillofacial surgeon Dr. John Hur, and implantologist Dr. Irbad Chowdhury. Together, they can evaluate your bone structure, discuss whether All-on-4 fits your situation, and plan the surgical and restorative steps involved.
