All-on-4 Dental Implants in Chicago, IL

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 is a revolutionary implant technique that uses four dental implants—two placed vertically in the front of the jaw and two placed at an angle in the back—to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This configuration maximizes the use of available bone, often eliminating the need for grafting procedures.

The treatment is ideal for patients who:

• Are missing most or all teeth in the upper or lower arch
• Have experienced bone loss but still want implants
• Are seeking a more stable alternative to removable dentures
• Want a fixed, natural-looking full-arch restoration
• Prefer fewer implants and a shorter recovery time

We work with trusted local specialists for the surgical placement phase and provide custom implant restorations in our office, designed for comfort, function, and natural aesthetics.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

Compared to traditional dentures or multiple single implants, All-on-4 offers significant advantages:

• Fewer implants required – just four per arch
• Fixed, non-removable teeth – no slipping or adhesives
• Immediate function – in many cases, temporary teeth are placed the same day
• Bone preservation – implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent bone loss
• Natural appearance and speech clarity
• Streamlined treatment timeline

All-on-4 provides life-changing results for patients looking to restore their bite and smile in a minimally invasive and efficient way.

The All-on-4 Treatment Process

1. Consultation and Evaluation
   We begin with a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and 3D imaging to assess bone health and treatment candidacy.
2. Collaborative Surgical Placement
   We coordinate with a local oral surgeon or implant specialist who places four dental implants per arch.
3. Immediate or Temporary Restoration
   In many cases, a temporary prosthesis is attached the same day so you can leave with teeth in place.
4. Healing Period
   Over the next few months, the implants integrate with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
5. Final Prosthesis Placement
   Once healed, we fabricate and place your custom full-arch restoration, carefully designed for esthetics, durability, and function.

We provide detailed aftercare instructions and routine follow-ups to ensure your long-term success.
