What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?
All-On-4 dental implants are a full-mouth tooth replacement solution for people who have lost most or all of their teeth. The treatment uses four dental implants that act like artificial tooth roots and hold a full set of replacement teeth in place.
The implants attach securely to the jawbone, which helps create a strong and stable smile. This treatment helps improve chewing, speaking, and overall oral function.

All-On-4 treatment restores the look of a full and balanced smile. The replacement teeth are carefully designed to match the patient’s facial shape, gum line, and natural tooth color. The size, shape, and position of the teeth are customized to create a natural appearance that fits the patient’s smile.
Many patients notice that their smile looks fuller and more even, which can improve confidence when speaking, eating, and smiling in daily life.
Implant Dentures Vs Dentures explained by Dr. Nima Afzalian of My Dental & Implants
Today, I would like to discuss about implant dentures and what are patient options as far as implant dentures and dentures. There are three options for patients that they can choose from based on how well they want to smile, if they care about the security of their denture, meaning that if it’s removable or secure, and also their chewing function, how they want to chew and obviously finance part it’s a big part of it as well.
The first option is obviously traditional dentures. Traditional dentures is with no implants and basically the top and bottom are typically loose but the top is more secured because you have the palate or roof of the mouth that creates a suction between the denture and your gum. But the lower, there is no palate on the lower so there is no security and the lower dentures are always more loose compared to the top ones. Snap-in dentures, they are still removable like traditional dentures but they do have implants similar to implant hybrid dentures. So, snap-in denture is an option that basically on the top three to four implants is placed and then on the bottom two to three implants is placed and you’ll get the same dentures as traditional dentures but they will snap in and they’re secured so they’re not typically as loose as traditional dentures. However, sometimes as you eat and chew on it, you may get a rocking motion on snap-in dentures but for the most part they’re pretty secure and much better option than traditional dentures.
The final option and the third option is basically implant hybrid denture or all on egg. This option is not like snap-in denture or traditional denture that are removable. This option is secured so four to top and four to six implants on the bottom and your prosthesis which is much nicer looking than those traditional dentures will be tightened in and secured in with those implants. However, they do have maintenance like your natural teeth because they mimic your natural healthy teeth up to 70 to 90 percent and with that comes maintenance. So, every six months the cleaning and every year those prosthesis are removed and we clean on journeys.
Implant Hybrid Dentures - Case Study explained by Dr. Nima Afzalian of My Dental & Implants
Hello everyone.
Today we just want to go over one of our big smile transformation.This patient came in to us, she wasn’t. Her main concern was she’s not able to eat and chew. And also she was very self-aware of her smile. She was like, I have missing teeth and it’s not working for me.
So we went over her options and she decided to go with the implant hybrid bridges or all on four, all on X. All of them are the same term for the same treatment,
different terms for same treatment.So I just wanted to share with you the before and after patient loves her
results and she’s able to eat too much better.And this is just her temporaries and we’re still going through some modification
for her final while she’s in these temporaries. But she absolutely loves her smile and she sees the big difference.
Great seeing you all. Thank you.
So the process of all for Zirconia, it is basically three appointments. The first appointment is the consultation that we go, I hear you out. I see. What are you looking for? I look at the X-rays and the records that we take and see what you need. And based on that, we come up with a treatment plan. The second appointment is basically we go over all the consent forms, get you ready to start for the surgery day. This third appointment is basically the surgery day. During the surgery appointment, you will basically get sedated, you will be under anesthesia, and then we remove all the teeth, we place all the implants, and then within 24 hours you will get your natural, healthy, temporary. I will check on you on a weekly process to make sure everything is good. After that, just one appointment per month. I always want to check my patients as much as I can to make sure if there is anything going on, we can catch it early and act on it. If I’m able to have that communication, those post-op appointments is really critical and that’s why we have a huge success here at my dental implants.
All-On-4 as a Permanent Alternative to Dentures
Unlike removable dentures, All-On-4 teeth stay fixed in place throughout the day. Patients do not need to remove them for cleaning or worry about movement while eating or speaking. The implants also help support the jawbone, which may reduce bone loss and help maintain facial structure over time.
Because the teeth stay securely attached to the implants, many patients feel they are closer to natural teeth than traditional removable options. All-On-4 treatment also removes the need for denture adhesives and overnight soaking routines that are common with removable dentures.
