All-on-4 Dental Implants
If you have widespread tooth loss, implant-supported dentures can restore your bite. But not all patients qualify for traditional implants.
You may be eligible for All-on-4® dental implants, even if your jawbone has lost too much density for traditional implants.
With the All-on-4® method, Dr. Michael D. Haight in Albuquerque, NM, can give more patients their smile back – often in a single day.
Why Patients Love All-on-4
Traditional dental implants require a strong jawbone for support. However, many patients with missing teeth have lost bone density, meaning they can't qualify for implants unless they first receive preparatory procedures to build back their jawbone strength. The All-on-4 dental implant procedure allows many patients to receive implant-supported dentures even if they have low jawbone density, eliminating the need for bone grafting and sinus lifts.
Other reasons to consider the All-on-4 from our Albuquerque, NM, dentist include:
Same-Day Teeth
In one appointment, Dr. Haight can replace your missing natural teeth with temporary dentures anchored by implants. After you attend another dental appointment for your permanent dentures, your All-on-4 treatment will be complete.
Fewer Implants
Replacing a full arch using the traditional implant method requires six to eight dental implants. These dentures only need four implants to replace an arch of natural teeth. By placing the implants at strategic angles, the All-on-4 method makes the most of your remaining jawbone.
Faster Recovery
Using fewer implants and a minimally invasive technique causes less trauma to your jawbone, greatly shortening your treatment and recovery time.
Superior Restoration
Anchored by implants, your life-like dentures are more secure than traditional dentures, which can slip out of place when you chew or speak. The dental implants also stimulate the jaw, preventing future bone atrophy.
A Closer Look at All-on-4
All-on-4 dental implants sidestep the need for bone grafts and sinus lifts. The four dental implants take advantage of your existing jawbone, replacing a full arch of teeth with dentures.

After Your Surgery
Recovery Period
For about the first week after All-on-4 implant surgery, patients should stick to a soft food diet. Smoothies, soups, and yogurt are ideal foods that won't irritate the sites where the implants were placed. As the gums heal, patients can reintroduce solid foods into their diet.
Caring for Your New Smile
Taking care of your denture is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Patients should brush their prosthetic and floss under the restoration after meals. Specialized tools like proxy brushes, waterpiks, and floss threaders can help keep the areas between the denture and implants clean.
Paying for All-on-4 Treatment
Insurance doesn't typically cover the cost of implants, but it may cover your restoration. For those interested in this innovative surgery but who need help covering costs, Parkway Dental accepts Compassionate® Finance. This option enables patients to receive treatment and pay for care in monthly installments.
Having functional teeth that stabilize your oral health can greatly increase your quality of life. The benefits of All-on-4 can last a lifetime if you attend dental checkups and practice good oral hygiene.
