The dental implants All-on-4 (also known as All-on-X) made by Nobel Biocare provide an advanced method to secure a full-arch restoration. Depending on how many are needed, this procedure works by placing 4 – 8 screws (implants) on the upper and/or lower arch. Prosthodontist Dr. Harshit Aggarwal and oral surgeon Dr. Leonel Perez recommend All-on-4 dental implants if you are looking to attain a fully restored smile and if you prefer an alternative to removable dentures. Many Annandale, VA patients have enjoyed the quality results of the new All-on-4 procedure. If you're interested in learning more information about All-on-4 and custom dental restorations, we encourage you to schedule an appointment at the Center for Dentofacial Aesthetics.
What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants?

Who Qualifies for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Implants by All-on-4 may be used to replace the lower and/or upper arches with dental implants attached to dentures made custom for you. You may be an ideal candidate for All-on-4 implants if you prefer the advantages of implanted dentures compared to removable dentures, which include no or few dietary limitations, no sticky glues, and no denture soaking. You'll have to have sufficient bone and gum density to be a candidate, as the implants will rely upon your bone and gums to maintain them in place. If needed, gum and/or bone grafts might be performed before implant placement. Dr. Aggarwal can determine if this treatment is appropriate for you during your initial consultation and can help talk about all your options.
How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?
The first step in the All-on-4 dental implant process is to take impressions and x-rays of your teeth to determine how many implants you might need. Dr. Aggarwal or Dr. Perez will create your unique treatment plan and discuss your options for sedation during the process. During your first appointment, the dental implants will be placed in your top or bottom arch, followed by a temporary cover over the implants as your mouth heals and your full-arch restoration is created. After several months, you will be asked to return to have your custom-made restoration connected and then adjusted for a good fit.
