What All-on-4 implants are
All-on-4 implants are a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses four strategically placed dental implants to support a complete set of fixed replacement teeth. Unlike individual implants, the All-on-4 concept replaces an entire upper or lower arch with fewer implants, reducing the need for bone grafting and shortening treatment time.
The implants act as artificial tooth roots. They preserve jawbone structure and provide a secure foundation for a natural-looking prosthetic arch that is fixed in place rather than removed at night.
Who it is for
- Patients missing most or all of the teeth in an arch, or whose remaining teeth are no longer restorable.
- Denture wearers who find traditional dentures uncomfortable or unstable and want a fixed solution.
- Patients with adequate or graftable bone — the angled posterior implants use bone in areas where density is often better preserved.
- People ready to commit to consistent home care and routine professional cleanings and checkups.
What makes treatment here different
Dr. David S. Bistritz founded Aventura Dental Center in 1989 and has more than 37 years of experience in general, restorative and cosmetic dentistry. He plans every full-arch case with 3D imaging, so implant positions are mapped before surgery day. Because the practice also provides dental implants, crowns and bridges, dentures and full mouth reconstruction, your options are compared honestly — patients regularly say no one here pressures them into treatment.
Key features of the treatment include a full arch restored on just four implants, tilted posterior implants that maximize existing bone, digital planning for precise placement, a custom acrylic or porcelain fixed arch, compatibility with upper and lower arches, and a same-day temporary teeth option in many cases. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage.
How to start
The only way to confirm candidacy is a consultation. Dr. Bistritz will review your oral health, imaging and goals, then outline the right treatment path and a personalized schedule. Call the office or book an appointment online to get started.
