What is all-on-4?

Missing teeth affect more than just your appearance, they impact your confidence, oral health, and overall quality of life. Fortunately, All-on-4 dental implants offer a fixed, permanent solution that replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. The result? A complete smile makeover, often in a single visit.

At Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry in Palm Beach Gardens, our experienced team, Dr. Hans Almanzar, Dr. Jesse Lemoine, and Kelly Simons, guides patients through this life-changing treatment with personalized care and cutting-edge expertise.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 is an advanced implant technique that allows you to replace a full set of missing teeth using only four dental implants. These implants act as secure anchors for a custom full-arch prosthesis. Thanks to the strategic positioning of the implants, most patients don’t need bone grafting, even with jawbone loss.

Key Benefits:

• Permanent, non-removable teeth

• Immediate restoration, leave with teeth the same day

• No adhesives, slipping, or discomfort like traditional dentures

• Helps preserve jawbone and facial structure

• Natural appearance and full function

For those requiring additional stability, the All-on-6 option places two more implants, offering enhanced support for patients with more extensive needs.

Are You a Candidate for All-on-4?

All-on-4 may be ideal if you:

• Are missing most or all teeth in one or both arches

• Have experienced bone loss and were told traditional implants aren’t possible

• Struggle with loose, uncomfortable dentures

• Want a fast, effective smile transformation

After a thorough consultation and 3D imaging, Dr. Jesse Lemoine, our periodontist, will determine if your jawbone is ready for implants or if preparatory work is needed.

What to Expect from the Procedure

Your All-on-4 journey begins with a personalized treatment plan crafted by Dr. Hans Almanzar, our cosmetic dentist. After an initial examination, your implants are placed, and a set of temporary teeth is attached on the same day.

As your implants heal and integrate with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration), Kelly Simons, our dental hygienist, will guide you through at-home care to ensure a successful outcome.

After 3–6 months, we’ll attach your final prosthetic teeth, customized to match your facial structure and smile goals.

Why Choose All-on-4 Over Traditional Dentures?

The answer lies in the significant improvements in comfort, stability, appearance, and long-term oral health.

All-on-4 implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, offering a fixed solution that eliminates the slipping, irritation, and inconvenience often associated with removable dentures. This implant-supported system also helps preserve the jawbone by stimulating it, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs with tooth loss and denture use.

In contrast, traditional dentures rest on the gums and can accelerate bone deterioration over time, leading to changes in facial structure and fit issues.

Aesthetically, All-on-4 provides a more natural-looking and confident smile, with teeth that feel and function like your own. While dentures may require adhesives and regular adjustments, All-on-4 offers a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution that supports a better quality of life.

For those seeking a permanent, functional, and visually pleasing alternative to dentures, All-on-4 stands out as the superior choice.
