All on 4 Dental Implants
What are All-on-4 Dental Implants
The All-On-4 procedure involves placing 4 or more dental implants in the upper and/or lower jaw, then attaching bridges to restore chewing power and give you a beautiful smile.
Some benefits of All-On-4 Dental Implants include:
- Amazing looks! Get the beautiful smile you've always wanted!
- Non-removable. DOES NOT come in and out of the mouth like a traditional denture.
- Best chewing capability. Provides the greatest chewing power so you can eat the foods you love.
- Most natural full-arch teeth replacement option.
- Requires the least amount of available bone. Great for people who have been told they don’t have enough bone for implants.

Procedure for All-on-4 Dental Implants
This procedure involves removing any remaining teeth, placing 4-6 implants per arch, and attaching a low-profile bridge to those implants. The implants are often placed at special angles to avoid the patient’s sinuses. This also avoids the need for expensive bone grafts, which require long healing times.
The traditional All-On-4® procedure involves four implants and acrylic denture teeth over a titanium frame. Our doctor has modified this procedure based on his experience and knowledge to provide an even better result for his patients!
At Georgia Implants and Dentures, we carefully analyze each and every case and base our treatment on the individual patient’s anatomy. Your doctor will place between four and six implants per arch and temporary fixed bridges will be placed while your implants integrate with your jawbones and your mouth heals.
After your healing is complete, the doctor and lab technician will fabricate your final teeth, which will be fabricated from zirconia. Zirconia teeth are not only much stronger than traditional acrylic (plastic) denture teeth offered at most other dental offices, but they also give a more natural, life-like end result.
In addition, zirconia teeth are more hygienic and resistant to staining. This means they will last longer and look better than the acrylic/titanium hybrid bridges you find at most other practices. Also, the teeth that your doctor designs are planned and milled digitally using the latest CAD/CAM technology, so there will always be a saved file of your teeth if they ever need to be replaced.
FAQs
The All-On-4® Teeth in a Day procedure allows most patients to have their remaining teeth removed, implants placed, and a beautiful, fixed, functional smile delivered over the course of a single day! This procedure has the ability to not only give patients a beautiful smile, but also give them a fresh outlook on life. We see countless patients who are suffering with mouths full of extensive decay, failing old dental work, and broken teeth. For these patients, All-On-4® Teeth in a Day is the perfect solution to obtain a new smile and fix the dental problems that have plagued them for years.
Most patients will be a candidate for this procedure, even those who have been told they don’t have enough bone for dental implants. Your doctor will use a combination of straight and angled implants to avoid the sinuses and engage the strongest bone. Using this technique usually removes the need for expensive and lengthy sinus augmentation bone grafts. Your doctor will perform a thorough evaluation during your free consultation to see if All-On-4® Teeth in a Day is an option for you.
Yes! However, while your implants and teeth are securely placed from day one, we do ask that you maintain a soft diet during the 4 month healing period. What exactly does that mean? A good general rule is you can eat anything you can cut with a plastic fork. The reason for this is that you are investing in something that could last you many decades, even the rest of your life, and maintaining a softer diet during the healing period will allow the best integration of your implants into your bone and help ensure the best long-term outcome.
Your final teeth will be made of zirconia. While most offices still place outdated acrylic titanium hybrids for their final bridges/teeth, our office makes them out of zirconia. These are digitally designed and milled. This allows us to have a digital file of your teeth saved for the future in the rare case you did have a tooth fracture or wear down. If you choose another office, make sure you know what kind of teeth you will be getting. If you do get acrylic denture teeth with a titanium bar at another office, expect to have staining around your teeth and to replace them every 5-10 years. Also, make sure you know how much you are going to pay for the surgery, temporaries, and final teeth. Many offices will charge you a surgery/temporary fee only for you to find you owe an additional $5,000-$15,000 for your final teeth.
Yes, we do offer sedation services at GID. Please talk to Dr. Wetherill at your consultation to see if you’re a candidate for sedation!
