All-on-4 Dental Implants near you

A stable full arch, planned around four implants.

Missing most or all of your teeth can affect eating, speaking, comfort, and confidence. All-on-4 offers a fixed replacement for an entire upper or lower arch in suitable cases.

At Cookstown Dental Centre, every case begins with a detailed assessment so the implant positions, bite, appearance, and long-term maintenance work together.

What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

Four strategic anchors. One complete restoration.

Four implants are carefully positioned to support a custom fixed arch of replacement teeth. The rear implants may be angled to use available bone and create a wider foundation while respecting nearby anatomy.

Upper or lower jaw

The name describes a treatment concept—not a promise that four implants are right for every jaw.

A stable solution for missing teeth

Designed to restore everyday function.

Compared with a loose removable denture, a fixed implant-supported arch can provide a more secure and confident experience.

Improved stability

The restoration is attached to implants instead of resting loosely on the gums.

A complete arch

One coordinated restoration replaces all or nearly all teeth in a jaw.

Natural appearance

Teeth and gum contours are customized to complement your face and smile.

Functional support

A stable bite may make chewing and speaking feel more dependable.

Facial support

The planned tooth position can restore lost lip and facial support.

Long-term care

The design is intended for lasting function with hygiene and maintenance.

Results and timelines vary with bone, healing, bite forces, health, and regular follow-up care.

Who may benefit?

For extensive tooth loss or failing teeth.

  • Most or all teeth are missing
  • Remaining teeth cannot predictably be restored
  • A removable denture feels loose or difficult
  • You want a fixed full-arch option
  • Gum health can be stabilized
  • Your health supports implant healing

A 3D assessment of bone, sinuses or nerves, bite, smile line, medications, and hygiene determines whether the concept is appropriate.

4

Why exactly four?

The number must fit the anatomy and the restoration.

All-on-4 uses two front and two back implants as a planned support pattern. Angled posterior placement can sometimes maximize available bone and reduce the need for major grafting.

Four is not automatically better—or enough.

Some patients benefit from a different number or position of implants. We compare All-on-4 with All-on-X, implant dentures, and other full-arch approaches before recommending treatment.

Grafting is case-specific. Some plans avoid major grafting; others still require bone or soft-tissue procedures.

Our treatment process

From digital planning to your final arch.

Our team explains each stage so you understand the sequence, recovery, and decisions ahead.

  1. 1

    Comprehensive consultation

    We review your concerns, health history, smile goals, and current teeth or dentures.

  2. 2

    3D diagnostic planning

    Digital images evaluate bone, gums, anatomy, implant positions, and the planned bite.

  3. 3

    Surgical preparation

    Non-restorable teeth are removed and grafting or tissue procedures are completed if required.

  4. 4

    Implant placement

    Four implants are placed according to the restorative and surgical plan.

  5. 5

    Protected provisional

    If stability and other conditions allow, temporary fixed teeth may be attached during early healing.

  6. 6

    Final restoration

    After healing, the definitive arch is created, fitted, and adjusted for appearance and function.

Immediate teeth when appropriate

A same-day provisional is conditional.

Some patients can leave implant placement with a temporary fixed arch. This depends on implant stability, bone quality, bite forces, and the ability to follow a protected soft-food plan.

The temporary is part of healing.

It is not the final restoration. Shape, speech, appearance, and bite can be refined before the definitive arch is made.

Cost and planning

A clear estimate based on your case.

The total depends on imaging, extractions, grafting, sedation needs, temporary teeth, materials, and the final restoration. Your consultation provides a personalized plan and estimate before treatment begins.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about All-on-4 Dental Implants.

Your examination provides the most useful answers for timing, grafting, temporary teeth, and cost.

What are All-on-4 dental implants?

All-on-4 replaces a complete upper or lower arch using four strategically positioned implants that support a custom fixed restoration.

Who may be a candidate?

Adults missing most or all teeth, people with failing teeth, or patients struggling with removable dentures may qualify after assessment of bone, gums, health, hygiene, and bite.

Why are the back implants sometimes angled?

Angling may help use available bone, increase the support spread, and avoid nearby anatomy. The positions must still support the restoration and daily cleaning.

Is All-on-4 always graft-free?

No. Some cases can avoid major grafting, while others need bone or tissue procedures. Imaging and restorative planning determine what is appropriate.

How long does treatment take?

Timelines depend on extractions, additional procedures, healing, and whether a provisional can be attached. Your dentist will map out a personalized schedule.

How do I care for the restoration?

Brush the restoration and gumline daily, clean beneath it with the recommended tools, attend professional maintenance, and follow any nightguard advice.

Will my new teeth look natural?

The teeth and gum contours are custom-designed to complement your face, smile, speech, and bite. Appearance is refined through the provisional and final stages.

How can I find out the cost?

Cost varies with diagnostics, extractions, grafting, sedation, materials, and restoration design. A consultation provides a personalized estimate.
