What is All-On-4?
All-on-4 is a remarkable solution for patients who want to restore an entire arch of teeth with a prosthetic version that’s permanent. Your new smile is secured in your jawbone by four strategically placed implants. Dr. Wirth will choose areas of the jawbone that are strong enough to support the implants, meaning there’s never a need for bone grafting.
Another aspect our patients love about All-on-4 is that it’s convenient. We’ll complete all necessary extractions and implant placements in a single office visit. Best yet, you’ll leave our office with a beautiful, fully functioning temporary set of teeth.
The All-On-4 Advantage
When you decide that All-on-4 is the ideal treatment for you, you’ll see immediate results — natural aesthetics and a traditional care regimen of daily brushing and flossing.
Benefits of All-on-4 include:
- Encourages healthy jawbone growth
- No messy adhesives
- Enjoy all of your favorite foods
- More cost-effective than individual implants
The All-On-4 Process
Before you begin treatment, you’ll meet with Dr. Wirth to discuss your treatment options. If you both agree that All-on-4 is the ideal treatment for your smile, we’ll schedule your procedure.
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Wirth will place all four dental implants. The implants support the single dental prosthetic and are the foundation for your new smile. However, we’ll wait for your smile to adjust to the implants before securing your permanent restoration.
Osseointegration is a natural process where your bone fuses to the surface of the implants, creating stability that’s unmatched by other dental restorations. It can take anywhere from three to six months to reach maximum strength.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do All-on-4 dental implants last?
All-on-4 dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement solution that’s designed to last anywhere from 20 years to a lifetime with proper oral hygiene and care. This means brushing and flossing regularly, as well as scheduling your regular dental visits twice a year.
When you follow good oral hygiene habits, the lifetime of your All-on-4 dental implants will lengthen and allow you to live with a beautiful smile for years to come.
Are All-on-4 implants removable?
All-on-4 implants aren’t removable because they’re surgically placed into your jaw bone to restore the beauty, function, and health of your smile. Through a process called osseointegration, the titanium fixtures naturally integrate into your jaw, stimulating healthy bone growth and protecting your gums from bacteria or infection.
All-on-4 is meant to be a permanent solution for tooth loss, and should not be removed. If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort after the procedure, we recommend that you schedule an appointment. We’ll evaluate the surgical area and get to the root of the problem.
