What Are All-on-4® Dental Implants?
All-on-4® is a full-arch implant treatment concept that may be used to support a fixed arch of replacement teeth. It is considered when a patient needs to replace most or all teeth in an upper or lower arch and wants to discuss an implant-supported alternative to a removable appliance.
The appropriate full-arch option depends on your oral health, bone and gum conditions, bite, medical history, and restorative goals. A consultation is needed to determine whether All-on-4® treatment or another tooth-replacement pathway should be considered.
A full-arch implant restoration is planned around the patient’s anatomy, restorative needs, and treatment goals.

Are You a Candidate for All-on-4® Implants?
An online page cannot determine whether All-on-4® treatment is appropriate for you. Your dentist must evaluate your oral health, the condition of remaining teeth, your gums and bone, bite, health history, and the treatment goals for your full arch.
You May Be Exploring Full-Arch Options If You
Have most or all teeth missing in one arch.
Have teeth that may need to be evaluated for removal and replacement.
Are dissatisfied with the fit, comfort, or function of a removable denture.
Your Consultation May Include
A discussion of your goals, dental history, and health history.
An examination of your gums, bone, bite, and remaining teeth.
Diagnostic imaging when clinically indicated for treatment planning.
Some Cases Need Added Planning
Remaining teeth may need an evaluation for extraction or other care.
Bone and gum conditions may influence the treatment approach.
Health conditions and tobacco use should be discussed candidly with your provider.
Important: Your dentist will discuss treatment benefits, limitations, risks, alternatives, and the treatment sequence appropriate for your individual needs.
Full-Arch Treatment Options Are Personalized
Full-arch care should not be reduced to a single advertised solution. Your provider evaluates the arch being restored, any remaining teeth, your bite, the condition of supporting tissues, and the desired restoration before recommending an implant-supported design.
One-Arch Treatment Planning
Treatment for the upper or lower arch is planned around the specific teeth being replaced, the bite, and the restorative goal for that arch.
Both-Arch Treatment Planning
When both arches need care, planning considers how the upper and lower restorations should work together for function, comfort, and appearance.
Several Missing Teeth
If you are missing several teeth but not most or all teeth in an arch, a different implant-supported treatment may be appropriate.
Full-arch treatment is planned in stages, and the sequence varies by patient. The following steps provide a general view of how an All-on-4® consultation and treatment plan may progress.
1
Evaluation
Consultation and Full-Arch Planning
Your provider reviews your oral health, remaining teeth, gums, bone, bite, health history, and diagnostic records when indicated. You discuss appropriate options and a treatment plan for the arch or arches being restored.
2
Preparation and Placement
Site Preparation and Implant Placement
If full-arch implant treatment is recommended, your provider outlines the preparation, implant placement, comfort options, and aftercare that are appropriate for your individual plan.
3
Provisional and Healing Phase
Temporary Restoration and Healing, When Appropriate
Some treatment plans may include a temporary restoration after placement. Whether a temporary restoration is appropriate, and the timing of each phase, are determined by your provider based on your clinical findings and treatment plan.
4
Final Restoration
Final Full-Arch Restoration and Follow-Up
Your final restoration is designed for the plan, your smile, and your bite. The team explains hygiene routines and the professional follow-up needed to care for your implant-supported restoration.
Digital Planning and Full-Arch Implant Care
Careful planning is central to full-arch treatment. When appropriate for your needs, digital records and 3D imaging may be used to assess anatomy, evaluate implant sites, and coordinate the surgical and restorative goals for your new teeth.
Digital records may be used when appropriate to help plan full-arch implant treatment.
Bone Grafting and Site Preparation
Some full-arch implant cases need additional site preparation, while others may follow a different approach. Your provider evaluates bone and gum conditions, remaining teeth, and the restorative objective to determine what should be included in your plan.
All-on-4® treatment cost is specific to the recommended plan. Your estimate may depend on whether one or both arches are being restored, the type of final restoration, planning needs, any preparatory care, materials, and follow-up requirements.
Call iSmile Specialists to schedule an evaluation and discuss estimated fees, insurance-benefit review, and available payment options. A written estimate should explain the recommended phases, included services, and any conditional services that may be needed.
