All-On-4® Dental Implants Charleston, WV

Tooth loss can occur for many reasons, including gum disease, trauma, and severe tooth decay. No matter the cause, replacing your missing teeth is essential for restoring your mouth’s function, oral health, and quality of life.

Dental implants are one of the most popular solutions for replacing missing teeth. They can replace a single tooth or a whole arch. At Revive Dental and Implant Center, we offer a range of implant solutions, including the All-on-4 treatment concept.

In some cases with edentulous patients (those lacking most or all of their teeth), it’s more difficult than usual to carry out implant-supported prosthesis treatment without more complex, and therefore often expensive, approaches. All-On-4 treatment is a preferred alternative in such scenarios. The term All-On-4 just means “all” of your teeth are held in place “on four” dental implants.

This surgery is a common procedure for full-arc treatment using tilted implants. The process provides a reliable means of fully rehabilitating those living with severely worn, damaged, diseased, decayed, or otherwise beyond-repair teeth. The All-On-4® Treatment Concept was developed in 1998 when Dr. Paulo performed the first successful treatment by combining straight and multi-unit abutments. Over time, this tactic has been improved and modernized to help hundreds of thousands of patients.

What Are All-On-4 Implants?

An implant is a small (usually titanium) screw inserted into the patient’s jawbone to replace the space left by a missing tooth. Once in position, a false tooth or dental crown is applied on top of this screw. An All-on-4 implant essentially takes the same principle, using four implants to support a hybrid denture.

How Are All-On-4 Implants Inserted?

Instead of replacing every missing tooth with an individual implant, we take a less complicated route by placing two in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw as your teeth’s primary anchors. Dr. Chad Boustany will then connect the dentures in the same positions to form a supportive structure.

Characteristics of All-On-4 Treatment

Full-arch rehabilitation with the All-On-4 procedure involves the strategic placement of four dental implants, specifically two straight anterior implants and two tilted implants angled up to 45 degrees in the posterior region of the mouth. This technique allows a fixed provisional bridge to be placed quickly, restoring oral functions, provided the patient meets the necessary criteria for immediate implant placement.

A key advantage of the All-On-4 technique is that bone grafting is typically unnecessary. The surgical method uses tilted implants in the back of the mouth, working with the available bone structure to provide a stable foundation for the dental restoration.

The Benefits of All-On-4 Treatment

Instantly noticeable improvement in quality of life.
A fixed full-arch prosthesis on the day of treatment leads to a rapid restoration of the patient’s dental function, appearance, speech, and self-esteem.
Treatment time is significantly decreased.
This procedure has a consistent success rate.
Dr. Boustany positions the implants to make them easier to clean while brushing or flossing.
Dr. Boustany can fix, improve, or remove a final restoration if necessary.
Angled posterior implants don’t interfere with the surrounding anatomical structures in a patient’s mouth or face. This lets us anchor longer implants into the higher-quality jawbone.
As noted, tilting posterior implants eliminates the need for time-consuming bone grafts.
The All-On-4 surgery reduces your posterior cantilever (the tooth bridge).
Treatment is more affordable because of the lower number of implants and the absence of bone grafting.
