All-on-4 Dental Implants in Beaverlodge

Missing most or all of your teeth? Struggling with loose dentures? All-on-4 dental implants offer a permanent, stable solution that lets you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

Instead of individual implants for each tooth, this innovative approach supports a full arch of teeth with just four strategically placed implants.

At Dentistry on 43, we provide complete All-on-4 treatment. From consultation to final restoration, we handle everything right here with IV sedation options available for your comfort.

 

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 is a full-arch restoration technique that replaces all upper or lower teeth using only four dental implants per arch. The back implants are angled strategically to maximize contact with existing bone, eliminating the need for bone grafting in most cases.

A custom prosthetic—your new set of teeth—attaches securely to these four implants, creating a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 implants don’t slip, require adhesives, or need to be removed for cleaning.

Why Choose All-on-4?

Just Four Implants Per Arch

Fewer implants mean less surgery, faster healing, and lower cost compared to individual implants for each tooth.

No Bone Grafting Required

The angled placement technique works with your existing bone structure, so most patients avoid the time and expense of bone grafting procedures.

Immediate Results

In many cases, you can leave with temporary teeth the same day as your implant placement. No waiting months without teeth.

Permanent and Stable

Your new teeth are fixed in place—no slipping, clicking, or embarrassing moments. Eat what you want without worry.

Preserves Your Jawbone

Unlike traditional dentures that accelerate bone loss, All-on-4 implants stimulate your jawbone and maintain your facial structure.

Natural Look and Feel

Custom-crafted to match your facial features and desired appearance, All-on-4 restorations look remarkably natural.

Am I a Candidate for All-on-4?

All-on-4 works well for patients who:

  • Are missing most or all teeth in one or both arches
  • Have failing teeth that need extraction
  • Struggle with traditional dentures
  • Want a permanent alternative to removable dentures
  • Have adequate bone density (most patients do)
  • Are committed to good oral hygiene

 

Even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for traditional implants, All-on-4’s angled placement technique often makes treatment possible without grafting.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your bone structure, overall health, and goals to determine if All-on-4 is right for you.

 

The All-on-4 Process

  1. Consultation and Planning We’ll take 3D scans, discuss your goals, and create a detailed treatment plan. You’ll understand the timeline, costs, and what to expect at every stage.
  2. Implant Placement During a single appointment, we place four implants per arch. IV sedation ensures you’re comfortable throughout. In many cases, you’ll leave with temporary teeth the same day.
  3. Healing Period Over 3-6 months, your implants fuse with your jawbone. Your temporary teeth let you eat and smile normally during this healing phase.
  4. Final Restoration Once healed, we attach your permanent, custom-crafted prosthetic. These teeth are designed specifically for your face, smile, and bite.

 

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dentures

Traditional Dentures:

  • Removable and can slip
  • Require adhesives
  • Need replacement every 5-7 years
  • Restrict certain foods
  • Can affect speech

 

All-on-4 Implants:

  • Fixed permanently in place
  • No adhesives needed
  • Preserve jawbone
  • Can last a lifetime with care
  • Eat anything you want
  • Natural speech and comfort

While dentures cost less initially, All-on-4’s longevity and quality-of-life benefits make it a worthwhile investment for many patients.

 

Caring for Your All-on-4 Implants

All-on-4 care is straightforward:

  • Brush twice daily (yes, your implant teeth need brushing!)
  • Use a water flosser or special brushes to clean under the prosthetic
  • Visit us for regular checkups and cleanings
  • Avoid smoking, which can affect implant success

 

We’ll show you exactly how to care for your new teeth and provide any special tools you need.

 

Investment and Financing

All-on-4 treatment typically costs $25,000-$30,000 per arch. While this is a significant investment, consider that it’s a permanent solution that eliminates ongoing denture costs and replacements.

We work with most dental insurance plans, though coverage for implants varies. Financing through Lendcare makes treatment accessible with monthly payments that fit your budget. We’ll provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implant posts are designed to be permanent, while the prosthetic teeth on top typically last 10-15 years before needing replacement due to normal wear. Success rates for All-on-4 are over 95%, making it one of the most predictable tooth replacement options.

Yes! Once fully healed, you can eat virtually anything—steak, corn on the cob, apples, nuts, and all the foods that may have been off-limits with dentures. During the initial healing period with temporary teeth, we recommend sticking to softer foods, but your permanent All-on-4 restoration provides the same chewing power as natural teeth.

The procedure itself isn’t painful because we use local anesthesia and offer IV sedation for complete comfort. Most patients are surprised by how easy the experience is. After the procedure, you’ll experience some soreness and swelling for a few days, similar to other dental surgeries, but this is manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Many patients return to normal activities within a few days.

No—and that’s one of the best parts! Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 restorations are fixed permanently in your mouth. You clean them just like natural teeth by brushing and using a water flosser or specialized brushes to clean under the prosthetic. You’ll never deal with denture adhesives or the hassle of removing teeth for cleaning. We’ll show you the proper cleaning techniques to keep your All-on-4 implants healthy.

The beauty of All-on-4 is that the angled implant placement maximizes use of existing bone, so most patients who’ve been told they don’t have enough bone for traditional implants can still be candidates. The back implants are tilted to avoid areas where bone loss is common and to anchor into stronger bone. Only in rare cases of severe bone loss would bone grafting be necessary.
