All-on-4® Dental Implants
All-on-4® Dental Implants
All-on-4 dental implants are a full-arch restoration option for people missing most or all of their teeth. The procedure involves placing four dental implants into the jawbone, which serve as a stable foundation for a fixed prosthetic that resembles a complete set of upper or lower teeth, hence the name “All-on-4.” This treatment is an excellent choice for patients who need a complete smile makeover and want to take advantage of the benefits that dental implants have to offer. Contact us today to learn more!
Key Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants:
- Efficiency: Supports a full arch of teeth with just four implants.
- Durability: Made from biocompatible materials for a strong, long-lasting bond with the jawbone.
- Enhanced Oral Health: Helps maintain bone density and prevents further bone loss.
- Aesthetic and Functional: Provides a natural appearance and feel, significantly improving quality of life.
Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Wondering if this could be a solution for you? All-on-4 dental implants are ideal for individuals who:
Suitable for those missing most or all teeth in an arch.
Patients with compromised teeth may benefit.
A great option for those seeking an alternative to traditional dentures.
Even with some bone loss, many can still qualify without bone grafting.
Perfect for those looking for a durable, long-term tooth replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many teeth do you get with All-on-4 implants?
With All-on-4 dental implants, you receive a full arch of teeth, which typically includes 10 to 14 teeth per arch. This provides a complete and natural-looking smile, covering either the upper or lower jaw, or both. The prosthetic teeth are securely attached to the four implants, offering a stable and permanent solution for those who have lost most or all of their teeth. The exact number of teeth can vary slightly depending on individual needs and the size of the patient’s mouth.
Are All-on-4 implants hard to eat with?
All-on-4 dental implants are designed to function like natural teeth, making it easier to eat a wide range of foods compared to traditional dentures. Initially, there might be a short adjustment period as you get used to the new prosthetic, but most patients find that eating becomes more comfortable and natural over time. The implants provide a strong, stable bite, allowing you to enjoy most foods without difficulty.
What’s the difference between implant dentures and All-on-4?
The main difference between All-on-4 implants and traditional implant-supported dentures lies in the number of implants used and the overall approach. All-on-4 implants use four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth, providing a stable and permanent solution, while traditional implant-supported dentures typically require more implants, often 6 to 8 per arch. All-on-4 offers a quicker, often same-day solution, while traditional methods may involve a longer, more complex process.
During your consultation, our team will assess your current health status, medical history, preferences, and needs to determine the right course of action for your smile.
*All-on-4 dental implants are offered at our Asheville, Cary, Fuquay-Varina, Pointe, Raeford, Southern Pines, and Spring Lake locations.

I tend to get nervous for doctor appts., but from the moment Sarah called me back, I started to feel more at ease. Her calm and accepting demeanor put me at ease from the beginning and throughout my visit. I appreciated that Sarah provided advance notice, feedback, and explanations along the way for each aspect of my visit. The music in the hallway and having a visual distraction in the room helped to pass the time. I also noticed that she used a light on her forehead, which I liked and meant I didn't need to wear sunglasses to block a bright overhead light. Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed my dentist appointment today, and I appreciate having Sarah as my dental hygeinist! Read Less

Read MoreThe absolute best dental office and staff ever! I’ve been to CarolinasDentist three times in the last 2 1/2 months. Once for an Invisalign consultation, the second visit my wisdom teeth consultation and the third was today for the actual extraction of 3 wisdom teeth. For my wisdom teeth appts, Dr. Chris and Susan (and the other staff member in the room during my procedure) were amazing! They (all staff involved) were patient with me, answered all my questions, informative, made me aware of how my insurance/benefits worked, friendly, reminder calls/emails & even confirmed my identity and made sure I was knew what was going on. This was my first ever surgery procedure and the way they made me feel comfortable is definitely a 10/10. I have even switched over to this location/practice for all my dental needs! To put the cherry on top, Dr. Chris even called me this afternoon to check on my recovery process & to see if I had any questions! I found them through a marketing ad on Instagram & I’m so glad I called & setup an appointment. From initial contact with the staff that answers the calls/assist you upon arrival to Dr. Chris & his wife Dr. Steddum, they were ALL sooo professional & great to work with. I’m all about customer service & great work, so if you’re looking for a new dentist office that can do it all, use this as your sign to make an appointment- you will be so glad you did! Their offices are clean & the location of their office is nice! Read Less
