If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, or tired of loose-fitting dentures, All-on-4 dental implants offer a revolutionary solution. At Complete Smiles Vermont South, we specialise in restoring smiles with this life-changing treatment—giving you a secure, natural-looking set of teeth supported by just four implants.
🧠 What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is a modern technique that replaces an entire arch of teeth using only four strategically placed dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, this fixed solution offers stability, comfort, and immediate results—often allowing patients to walk out with a brand-new smile the same day.
🛠️ How Does the Procedure Work?
The All-on-4 process is streamlined and efficient:
- Consultation & Imaging – We assess your bone structure and oral health using advanced 3D imaging.
- Implant Placement – Four titanium implants are placed in the jaw, with two angled for optimal support.
- Temporary Teeth – A custom temporary bridge is fitted immediately after surgery.
- Healing Phase – Over 3–6 months, the implants fuse with your bone (osseointegration).
- Final Restoration – Your permanent, custom-designed bridge is placed for long-term function and aesthetics.
👑 Types of All-on-4 Bridges

|---|---|
| Acrylic Hybrid | Lightweight and cost-effective; used for temporary or initial restorations |
| Zirconia | Extremely durable and natural-looking; ideal for final restorations |

❓ Top 6 FAQs About All-on-4
Can I really get new teeth in one day?

Is All-on-4 painful?
The procedure is done under anaesthesia. Mild discomfort may follow, but it’s manageable with medication.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
Implants can last 20+ years. The bridge may need replacement after 10–15 years.
Do I need bone grafting?
