All-on-4® Dental Implants in Winter Park

How All-on-4® Differs from Traditional Implants

Traditional implants typically replace one tooth per implant. All-on-4® uses four implants, positioned to support an entire arch of replacement teeth. This can be an option when several teeth are missing or failing, and sometimes suits patients who don't have enough bone density for a full traditional approach.

Are You a Candidate?

Jawbone density, gum health, and the number of teeth being replaced all factor into whether All-on-4® is appropriate for you. An exam and imaging determine this—some patients who aren't candidates for traditional implants may still qualify for All-on-4, while others may need bone grafting first or a different approach entirely.

Surgery, Healing, and Your New Teeth

A temporary set of replacement teeth is often placed the same day as surgery, so you're not left without teeth during healing. The permanent, final restoration is fitted later, once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone—a process that takes several months. Following the care instructions during this period is important for long-term success.

Questions About All-on-4® Dental Implants

Will I have teeth the same day as surgery?

Often, yes, in the form of a temporary prosthesis. The final, permanent restoration is placed later, after healing is complete.

Am I a candidate if I don't have enough jawbone?

Possibly. All-on-4® requires less bone than some traditional implant approaches, though this depends on your specific situation and is determined during an exam.
