At BaySmiles Dental, we are committed to providing transformative dental solutions that restore not just your smile but also your confidence and quality of life. Among our most innovative treatments is the All-on-4® dental implant system. This cutting-edge procedure is designed to offer patients with extensive tooth loss a permanent, natural-looking solution that combines functionality, aesthetics, and durability.
Whether you're struggling with ill-fitting dentures or facing the challenges of significant tooth loss, All-on-4® dental implants can be life-changing. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into how this revolutionary treatment works, its benefits, and why BaySmiles Dental is your trusted partner for this advanced dental restoration.
All-on-4® dental implants offer a full-arch restoration using only four strategically placed implants in the upper or lower jaw. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, All-on-4® implants provide a secure and permanent base for a fixed prosthetic arch.
The procedure leverages advanced implant technology to maximize bone support and minimize the need for bone grafting. Two implants are placed at the front of the jaw, while the other two are placed at an angle toward the back. This innovative approach ensures stability and efficiency, even in patients who have experienced bone loss.
For patients dealing with tooth loss, the benefits of All-on-4® implants extend far beyond aesthetics. This solution offers a host of advantages, making it a superior choice over traditional dentures or single implants for full-mouth restoration:
At BaySmiles Dental, we take pride in offering a seamless and patient-centered All-on-4® experience. Here’s what you can expect:
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation. We assess your oral health, review your medical history, and take detailed digital images to evaluate your bone structure. This step allows us to determine whether you’re a candidate for All-on-4® and to customize a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Using advanced imaging technology, we meticulously plan the placement of your implants. This ensures precision and optimal results. Our team will also discuss your options for the prosthetic arch, which can be tailored to your preferences in terms of material and appearance.
On the day of your procedure, the dental implants are strategically placed in your jawbone. Thanks to the angled placement of the posterior implants, we often eliminate the need for bone grafting. After securing the implants, a temporary prosthetic arch is attached, allowing you to leave with a functional and attractive smile.
Over the next few months, the implants will integrate with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Once healing is complete, we replace the temporary prosthetic with a custom-designed permanent arch. This final restoration is crafted to offer unparalleled comfort, durability, and aesthetics.
All-on-4® is an excellent solution for patients with extensive tooth loss or failing teeth. You may be a candidate if:
During your consultation, we will evaluate your specific circumstances to ensure that All-on-4® is the best option for your needs.
Choosing the right dental practice for your All-on-4® procedure is crucial to achieving successful results. At BaySmiles Dental, we stand out for our:
Will the procedure be painful?
Our team takes every measure to ensure your comfort during the All-on-4® procedure. Local anesthesia or sedation options are available to minimize discomfort. Most patients report mild soreness afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does the procedure take?
In many cases, the implants and temporary prosthetic arch can be placed in a single day. However, the full process, including healing and the placement of the permanent arch, typically takes several months.
How do I care for All-on-4® implants?
Caring for All-on-4® implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and schedule regular dental visits to keep your implants in excellent condition.
What is the lifespan of All-on-4® implants?
With proper care, All-on-4® implants can last a lifetime. The prosthetic arch may require periodic adjustments or replacement, but the implants themselves are designed for long-term durability.
Living with extensive tooth loss can be challenging, but you don’t have to face these challenges alone. All-on-4® dental implants offer a revolutionary solution that restores your smile, confidence, and quality of life. At BaySmiles Dental, we are proud to help our patients achieve life-changing results through this innovative treatment.

The All-on-4 treatment concept offers an implant-based solution to patients who have lost all of their upper and/or lower teeth. This remarkable method of care helps patients quickly rebuild complete and beautiful smiles. With All-on-4, your new, and complete set of implant-supported replacement teeth feel secure, stable, and much like your very own.
If you currently wear complete upper and/or lower dentures or are slated to have your remaining teeth extracted, you may be a candidate for All-on-4. First Performed by Dr. Paulo Malo in 1998, the All-on-4 treatment concept has helped hundreds of thousands of patients quickly reestablish attractive smiles that look, feel, and function just like a set of natural teeth!
The All-on-4 treatment concept offers a fixed and permanent alternative to removable dentures. Unlike dentures, All-on-4 does not rely on messy dental adhesives or natural suction to hold your new set of teeth in place. With All-on-4, your replacement teeth are permanently secured by dental implants, giving you a smile that looks not only great but also feels secure and stable. You'll feel comfortable and confident as you speak, smile, and chew with ease.
While traditional full arch implants also achieve outstanding results of care, the All-On-4 treatment concept does not involve bone grafting and requires fewer implants to support a full set of teeth. With just four strategically placed dental implants needed to support an entire set of upper or lower teeth, the All-on-4 treatment concept offers a cost-effective and satisfying solution for rebuilding a complete smile. Thanks to this remarkable method of care, patients can experience the satisfaction of having teeth placed the same day as surgery. This key feature allows patients to smile and function with confidence until healing is complete and the permanent restorations installed.
Once it's been determined that you're a candidate for treatment with All-on-4, the process of treatment planning and designing your new smile begins. 3D diagnostic records provide the detailed information required to determine the exact positions of the four supporting dental implants. Then, on the day of surgery, we'll remove any remaining teeth, place the 4 implants, and insert a set of attractive, sturdy, and functional set of temporary teeth. With All-on-4, temporary teeth can be placed right away with a customized, permanent set to follow once the implants become fully integrated with the surrounding bone.
With All-on-4, temporary teeth can be placed right away with a customized, permanent set to follow within just a few months after the implants become fully integrated with the surrounding bone.
Thanks to All-on-4, patients enjoy permanent teeth that look, feel, and function just like real teeth. And with a patient satisfaction rate that exceeds 95%, the All-on-4 treatment concept restores your smile, your confidence, and allows you to enjoy once again the foods you love!
Maintaining your All-on-4 smile requires the same care as a natural smile. By cleaning your teeth twice daily, after meals as possible, and scheduling appointments for routine checkups as well as care, you can keep your new smile strong and healthy for years to come. Our office will demonstrate the most effective methods of oral hygiene and answer all your questions as to how to care for your new smile.
