All-on-4 Dental Implants
Widespread tooth loss can lead to problems with speaking and eating, as well as take a toll on your self-image.
All-on-4® dental implants can support a full arch of teeth on just four implants.
See how Redlands Family Dentistry in Redlands, CA, can provide you with this revolutionary alternative to traditional dentures and implants.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants is a treatment plan that can support a full denture on just four implants. Like traditional implants, All-on-4 implants replace tooth roots in the jawbone, but they are placed strategically to maximize support from your bone tissue. You can receive All-on-4 for both your upper and lower arches, if necessary.
Our dental office usually places implants made from titanium, a durable and time-tested material. We use implants crafted by brands like Nobel Biocare, Zimmer, and Straumann®.
Restore Your Smile Without Extensive Dental Work

Determining if All-on-4 Is Right for You
During your consultation, our dentists will perform an examination of your mouth and inquire about your medical history to determine your candidacy for All-on-4 dental implants.
Tooth Loss
If you are missing all of your teeth on one or both of your dental arches or need to have a remaining tooth (or teeth) extracted, you may be a good candidate for All-on-4. Our dentists can sometimes extract a damaged tooth and place dental implants in the same visit.
Less extensive tooth loss may make you a better candidate for crowns, bridges, or partial dentures instead.
Bone Recession
All-on-4 dental implants are strategically placed in your jawbone so they maximize the use of the available bone mass. This makes them the best restorative option for patients who require dentures but don't have enough bone mass to support traditional dental implants without a preparatory bone grafting procedure.
Our dentists will first determine how much bone density you have because low bone density can increase the risk of implant failure.
Overall Health
Those who want to undergo any kind of surgery must be in good overall health to reduce the risk of complications and to help ensure their procedure and recovery can go smoothly. Additionally, patients should not use nicotine products so they can heal properly after surgery.
The All-on-4 Treatment Timeline What to Expect from Our Dentists in Redlands

We perform state-of-the-art guided surgery using Sirona Galileo 3D imaging technology.
Caring for All-on-4
Once you've received your All-on-4 dental implants and denture, you can care for them by doing a few simple things:
Like natural teeth, your new dental work should be brushed twice each day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and flossed once each day.
Regular checkups with our Redlands dentists can help ensure that your mouth remains healthy enough to support your titanium implants and dentures.
