What Are All On 4 Dental Implants?

Developed for patients with significant tooth loss or those seeking an alternative to dentures, All On 4 provides a more stable, long-lasting, and natural-feeling solution to tooth replacement.
At Dental Arts & Implants, Dr. Hargett uses advanced technology to ensure precision, comfort, and stunning results.
Benefits of All On 4 Implants for Dental Patients
Why choose All On 4 over other solutions? Here are just some of the reasons they’re becoming a popular choice:
- Minimally invasive: All On 4 uses fewer implants, which reduces the need for extensive bone grafting and accelerates recovery time.
- Quick transformation: Most procedures allow patients to leave the clinic with a functional and aesthetically pleasing set of teeth on the same day.
- Natural look and feel: The implants are designed to mimic the appearance and function of real teeth, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Cost-efficient: Since fewer implants are placed, All On 4 can be more affordable than traditional implant procedures.
- Durability: With proper care, All On 4 implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term solution for your oral health.
Who Are Ideal Candidates for All On 4 Implants?
If you’re wondering whether All On 4 is right for you, here’s what typically makes someone an ideal candidate:
- Missing most or all teeth in one or both arches
- Sufficient jawbone structure to support implants (though bone grafting may not be necessary)
- Current denture users seeking a more stable, permanent alternative
- Good overall oral and physical health
Dr. Hargett emphasizes the importance of a personalized consultation to determine the best treatment for each individual.
