All-on-4®: A Faster Path to a Confident Smile

Why Patients Should Consider All-on-4®

With the All-on-4® approach, patients don’t have to wait months before receiving their new teeth. Replacement teeth can be attached the very same day, since the procedure requires fewer implants and avoids the need for bone grafting. This streamlined process provides natural-looking results and allows patients to feel comfortable eating, speaking, and engaging socially again.

For individuals missing only a few teeth, options such as partial dentures, bridges, or traditional implants may be more appropriate. However, most patients who visit Riverside Holistic Dentistry for All-on-4® treatment either have no remaining teeth or their existing teeth are failing. In cases where certain health conditions make bone grafting unsuitable, All-on-4® can also be a safer and more effective choice.

Causes and Effects of Tooth Loss

According to dental experts, losing teeth is common but not an unavoidable part of aging. Tooth loss may result from accidents such as slips or falls, or from facial injuries sustained during sports or vehicle collisions. Over time, untreated decay and gum disease can weaken a tooth’s structure, leading to wear, loss, or the need for extraction by a dental professional.


Severe decay often brings pain and irritation, while the absence of teeth can affect both function and appearance. Beyond the physical impact, missing teeth can also influence emotional well‑being. Common effects include:

  • Sensitivity to foods and drinks

    Large cavities or failing teeth can make it difficult to enjoy hot or cold items.

  • Gum discomfort

    Patients without teeth may struggle with eating and speaking, and some find full dentures uncomfortable.

  • Social hesitation

    Missing teeth can cause individuals to avoid smiling or participating in social activities.

These challenges can greatly reduce quality of life. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers several replacement options. At Riverside Holistic Dentistry, our team can help you explore whether the All‑on‑4® implant solution is the right choice for restoring your smile.

“According to WebMD, tooth loss is a common but not inevitable part of aging.”

How the All-on-4® Implant Treatment Works

Replacing a full arch of teeth with traditional implants typically requires one implant per tooth. The All-on-4® method offers a more efficient alternative by using just four implants to secure an entire upper or lower row of teeth. This treatment is effective even for patients who have lost all their teeth. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, the four strategically placed implants provide stable support for a complete arch of replacement teeth. Because bone grafting is not needed, the implants naturally fuse with the existing jawbone. Some implants are positioned at an angle, making them longer and able to provide additional strength.


The All-on-4® procedure is similar to standard implant placement but is completed more quickly, with a shorter recovery period. The process begins with impressions and X-rays, which are sent to a dental lab. At the treatment appointment, our team at Riverside Holistic Dentistry will administer a local anesthetic and, if necessary, remove any remaining damaged teeth. Four titanium posts are then placed in the upper and lower jaw to act as anchors. These secure the artificial teeth, restoring both function and appearance.

“All-on-4 implant treatment is similar to getting regular implants. However, the procedure and recovery time is faster.”

How the All-on-4® Implant Treatment Works

Following your All-on-4® treatment, our team will provide detailed aftercare guidelines to support proper healing and reduce the risk of infection. These instructions often include brushing gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush, keeping your head elevated while resting, and sticking to soft foods during the initial recovery period. It’s normal to experience some soreness, swelling, or light bleeding right after the procedure. If these symptoms worsen instead of improving, contact our office right away.


Long-term success depends on maintaining good oral hygiene. Just as with natural teeth, patients should brush and floss daily to keep the implants and gums healthy. Routine dental visits are also essential—your dentist will regularly check the implants and artificial teeth to ensure they remain secure and functioning as intended.

  • Dentists assess each patient’s needs to recommend the most suitable option.

Treatment Options


*Complete Dentures:

  • Immediate dentures placed right after extraction (temporary, require adjustments).
  • Conventional dentures placed 8–12 weeks after healing.

How do implant‑supported dentures compare to traditional removable dentures?

Two Main Options for Full Dentures


  • Implant‑supported dentures: Fixed in place using implants anchored in the jawbone.
  • Removable dentures: Can be taken out, rest directly on gums, and often require adjustments.

Benefits of Implant‑Supported Dentures


  • Greater comfort — patients report they feel more like natural teeth.
  • Improved stability — dentures stay firmly in place, reducing rubbing and sores.
  • Functionality — patients can eat and brush more normally.
  • Longevity — with proper care, they can be a permanent solution.

Drawbacks of Implant‑Supported Dentures


  • Require a more extensive surgical procedure.
  • Not suitable for patients with severe jawbone deterioration unless bone augmentation is possible.

Drawbacks of Removable Dentures


  • May slip or move, leading to discomfort.
  • Require periodic adjustments to maintain fit.
  • Can press against the jawbone, potentially causing irritation or bone loss over time.

Overall Comparison


Implant‑supported dentures are more natural‑looking, stable, and functional.


Removable dentures are less invasive initially but may be less comfortable and less durable long‑term.

What should patients expect during the dental implant procedure?

Procedure Overview


  • An incision is made in the gum to expose the bone.
  • The implant post is inserted, and the gum is sutured around it.
  • Sometimes a temporary denture is used until permanent teeth are ready.
  • Healing (osseointegration) takes several weeks to months as the bone fuses with the implant.
  • Patients with weak jawbones may need a bone graft before implant placement.
  • Once healed, an abutment connects the implant to a crown or denture.

Aftercare & Recovery


  • Common side effects: swelling, discomfort, minor bleeding, or bruising.
  • Pain medication and antibiotics may be prescribed if needed.
  • Soft foods are recommended during healing.
  • Dissolvable stitches usually fall out within 7–10 days.
  • Following aftercare instructions helps ensure proper healing.

Daily Care


  • Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth: brushing, flossing, and mouthwash.
  • Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential.
  • Removable implant-supported dentures should be taken out at night and soaked in denture solution.
  • Oral irrigators can help clean around implants.

Benefits of Dental Implants


  • Comfortable and stable, functioning like natural teeth.
  • Effective for eating, speaking, and cleaning.
  • Long-lasting — can last a lifetime with proper care.

Common Questions About All-on-4® Implants

  • Q. Is All-on-4® covered by dental insurance?

    A. Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. It’s best to confirm directly with your provider. At Riverside Holistic Dentistry, we can also assist with financing options and flexible payment plans.

  • Q. How much does the All-on-4® treatment cost?

    A. In many cases, All-on-4® implants are more affordable than traditional implant methods—often costing about half as much. Our team will review pricing details with you before beginning treatment.

  • Q. Are there foods I should avoid after receiving All-on-4® implants?

    A. While patients typically regain full function within hours of surgery, it may take some time to adjust. To protect your implants during early healing, we may recommend avoiding hard foods initially.

  • Q. What side effects can occur after the All-on-4® procedure?

    A. Some mild soreness and minimal bleeding are common right after surgery. Over-the-counter pain relief is usually sufficient, and symptoms should gradually improve.

  • Q. How soon can I return to normal activities after treatment?

    A. Because anesthesia is used during the procedure, patients should allow time for recovery. We advise avoiding strenuous activity for one to two days and focusing on rest during this period.

  • Q. How long does the All-on-4® procedure take?

    A. The surgery is generally quicker than traditional implant placement, often lasting between one and two hours. Exact timing depends on individual patient needs.
