All‑on‑4 is a technique that replaces all teeth in the upper or lower jaw using only four implants. Two implants are placed vertically in the front of the jaw, while two posterior implants are tilted up to 45° to maximize contact with bone and avoid anatomical structures. These four posts secure a fixed bridge, giving you a complete smile without removable dentures. This approach is commonly chosen to reduce implant count while maintaining stability and function.
Your provisional bridge is attached the same day your implants are placed, so you leave our office with fixed teeth rather than wearing a removable denture during healing.
Tilted back implants use available bone and usually eliminate the need for sinus lifts or bone grafts, making treatment faster and less invasive.
With fewer implants and streamlined surgery, All‑on‑4 often costs less than conventional implant approaches. Survival rates above 94% over ten years mean you can count on long‑term performance.
Your fixed bridge is shaped and shaded to match your facial features. Because it’s secured to implants, you can bite, chew and speak naturally without worrying about movement.
Our patients are at the heart of everything we do. Read their stories and discover how compassionate care and trusted dentistry have made a difference in their smiles.
The materials and design of All-on-4 differ significantly from traditional dentures. The comparison below highlights key differences in function, comfort, and long-term support.
| Aspect | All-on-4 Fixed Bridge | Traditional Removable Dentures |
|---|---|---|
| Prosthetic materials | Temporary teeth made from durable acrylic; final restorations often crafted from zirconia, porcelain, or hybrid composites | Typically acrylic resin with limited material customization |
| Framework support | Titanium or metal alloy framework designed to withstand strong biting forces | No internal framework; relies on gum support and adhesives |
| Stability & fit | Fixed in place and custom-designed to restore bite and facial balance | Can shift or loosen during eating or speaking |
| Bone support | Implants stimulate the jawbone and help reduce bone loss | No bone stimulation; gradual bone loss over time |
| Daily care | Cleaned like natural teeth; no removal required | Must be removed daily and soaked overnight |
| Overall feel | Designed to look and feel more like natural teeth | Often feels bulky or less secure |
All-on-4 is commonly used for patients who are missing most or all teeth in one arch or dealing with an unstable denture. By anchoring a full bridge to dental implants, it supports stronger chewing and steadier speech than removable dentures. In many cases, the angled implant design can reduce the need for grafting, depending on bone support and anatomy.
- Fixed teeth: A stable bridge that does not need to be removed daily
- Fewer implants: Full-arch support using four implants in many cases
- Often graft-sparing: May avoid sinus lifts or grafting when conditions allow
Most patients invest between $20,000 and $35,000 per arch for All-on-4 treatment in 2025. Final costs depend on the materials selected, the number of arches treated, and whether additional procedures are required.
Comparisons with traditional full-arch implant approaches show that All-on-4 is often a more cost-efficient option due to fewer implants and a streamlined surgical process. Ongoing advancements in implant technology and increased provider availability have also contributed to more competitive pricing in many regions.
We provide a detailed treatment estimate before care begins, and flexible financing options are available to help spread payments over time.
Why Do Prices Vary?
Factor
How It Affects Cost
Tooth material
Acrylic is more affordable; zirconia costs more but lasts longer
Geographic location
Higher-cost metro areas tend to be priced higher
Additional procedures
Extractions or grafting may increase total fees
Number of arches
Treating both arches typically doubles the cost
With consistent home care and routine professional cleanings, All-on-4 implants can provide long-term function. Published reviews report strong mid-term survival, and outcomes are comparable between four-implant and six-implant full-arch designs in several studies. Over time, the bridge may need repair or replacement due to normal wear.
- Reported implant survival: 94–98% over 6–11 years
- Reported 5-year survival: ~98.8% for four-implant bridges in a large cohort
- Bridge maintenance: often repair or replacement after 10–15 years, depending on wear and bite forces

All‑on‑4 uses four implants – two in front and two angled at the back – to anchor a full bridge of teeth. By avoiding most bone grafts, this technique lets us place a temporary set the same day so you leave the office with fixed, functioning teeth.
