Patients often tell us they appreciate how we slow things down, explain everything clearly, and focus on comfort from the moment they walk in.
Here’s what sets us apart:

All-on-4 is more than a procedure. It’s a transformation, and having a team that knows the process inside and out makes a noticeable difference.
What Exactly is All-on-4? (A Simple Explanation)
All-on-4 is a full-arch restoration that replaces all the upper or lower teeth using four strategically placed implants. These implants act like strong anchors for a custom set of teeth that look natural, feel solid, and function much like your own.
Traditional implants often require bone grafting, multiple surgeries, and months of healing before replacement teeth can be attached. All-on-4 uses angled placement to take advantage of areas with dense bone, which allows most patients to receive temporary teeth the very same day.
This approach is ideal for anyone wanting a fast, predictable, long-term solution that avoids the slipping, rubbing, or maintenance frustrations of removable dentures.
Who’s a Good Candidate for All-on-4?
You may be a great fit for All-on-4 implants if:
- You’re missing most or all of your teeth
- Your remaining teeth are failing or causing pain
- Dentures feel loose, uncomfortable, or limiting
- You want a fixed (non-removable) option
- You prefer to avoid bone grafting
- You want a faster path to a stable, confident smile
During your consultation, we look at your overall health, jawbone structure, medical history, and smile goals. Each case is unique, and we’ll walk you through all your options to make sure All-on-4 is the best fit for you.
Your All-on-4 Transformation: Step-by-Step
We want your experience to be smooth and stress-free. While every treatment plan is personalized, most patients follow a similar journey.
1. Comprehensive Consultation
We start by getting to know you and understanding what you’re hoping to achieve. We examine your oral health, take digital images, and talk through your goals, concerns, and lifestyle.
2. 3D Imaging and Personalized Planning
Your CBCT scan helps us map out bone density and determine optimal implant placement. We also use digital smile design tools to preview your potential results and shape your new teeth.
3. Implant Placement
On treatment day, your four implants are placed in areas designed for maximum stability. Sedation options are available to keep you calm and comfortable throughout the procedure.
4. Same-Day Temporary Teeth
Most patients leave the office with a beautiful temporary set of teeth that are fixed in place. These are designed for function, comfort, and aesthetics while your implants heal.
5. Healing and Integration
Over the next few months, the implants naturally fuse with your jawbone. We monitor your progress closely and answer any questions you have along the way.
6. Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, we attach your custom-made permanent teeth. These are crafted to look stunning, feel natural, and stand up to everyday life.

What Recovery Really Looks Like
Healing from All-on-4 isn’t as intimidating as many expect. You may notice mild soreness for a few days, but most patients return to everyday activities fairly quickly.
In the first phase of recovery:
- You’ll follow a soft-food diet
- Some swelling or tenderness is normal
- We schedule check-ins to monitor healing
- Our team stays available for questions
After your final teeth are placed, you’ll enjoy full chewing function and a restored sense of confidence. We also walk you through long-term care so your implants last as long as possible.
Why Experience Matters With This Procedure
All-on-4 requires advanced training and a deep understanding of implant placement, bite mechanics, and smile design. Our team has completed extensive continuing education in implant dentistry and uses the latest technology to ensure safe, predictable, and aesthetic results.
We’ve restored many full smiles for patients across Anderson and the surrounding areas, and we approach each case with care, skill, and a genuine desire to help you feel like yourself again.
