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?

- Lasting fix for missing teeth, providing stability and durability
- Can boost the appearance of the face via results that look natural
- Could allow people to recover full chewing capacity

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.
Center for Dentofacial Aesthetics Reviews
The front desk ladies are super nice and helpful, and the dentist and dental hygienist was super nice as well.
Judy did a real good job.
The entire staff is the best!
While the setting is inspiring and relaxing, its the people that mek this practice what it is - the best. From the front desk, dental technicians, to Dr. Aggarwal, they are the best. And its the most technologically advanced prosthodontist practice I've ever seen.
Regardless of the reason I visit their office, I am always set at ease. The front desk staff are very personable and do everything they can to make your experience top notch! The Hygenists are all fun and upbeat. They make you laugh and help you with any concerns or fears you may have before they even put on your bib and wacky sunglasses. My visit today was no different. I actually look forward to going to the dentist! Me! Someone who has had a fear of the dentist and panicked at the sound of the drills!!
