All-on-4 Dental Implants
Patients with missing teeth can experience a host of benefits with dental implants, but not all patients qualify for traditional implants.
Using the All-on-4® method, patients who would otherwise need bone grafting may qualify for dental implants right away.
Dr. David J. Tasch and Dr. Mike Meek in Austin, TX, can perform this advanced dental implant procedure to make you smile again.
What Is the All-on-4 Method?
The All-on-4 method uses four strategically placed dental implants to maximize available support from the jawbone. Like traditional implants, implants placed using the All-on-4 method can stop and prevent further bone recession after tooth loss. Once the implants have integrated with the jaw, they provide a permanent foundation for a fixed denture.
All-on-4® Implants Offer Unmatched Stability
All-on-4 implants provide a number of advantages over traditional dentures. Using four, five, or six dental implants to support a custom denture, our dentists can use this method to restore an entire dental arch. Address widespread tooth loss with a dental implant-supported denture from 38th Street Dental.

Qualifying for All-on-4 Treatment
Good candidates for All-on-4 are:
In Good General Health
To qualify for All-on-4 treatment, you should be healthy enough to undergo oral surgery. Diabetic patients will need to have stabilized glucose levels. Smokers will need to cease smoking since smoking has been linked to an increased risk of implant failure.
Committed to Good Oral Health
Maintaining good oral hygiene is critical to your oral health. It is important to practice good oral hygiene after receiving dental implants and your denture to not only keep your mouth healthy, but also maintain your beautiful new smile for years to come.
Seeking a Faster Track to Full-Arch Restoration
If you have spoken to a dentist about dental implant-supported dentures only to be told that you will need bone grafting and several months of healing time first, All-on-4 can provide you with a faster solution. Plus, All-on-4 implants can support a denture right away.

Maintaining Your New Smile As Easy As Taking Care of Your Natural Teeth
Maintaining your new smile is easy! Because your dentures are secured directly to the four dental implants, there is no need to remove them. Simply treat them as you would your natural teeth. Maintain good oral hygiene by:
Our dental team will provide you with the instructions you need to properly care for your new smile.
All-on-4 FAQs
How Long Do All-on-4 Implants Last?
With proper care, your dentures can last around ten years, but your dental implants can last a lifetime. Maintaining good oral hygiene is the best way to extend the lifespan of your implants and restoration.
Can I Eat Normally After All-on-4 Treatment?
One of the major benefits of dental implants is there is no risk of your dentures sliding out of place while eating or speaking. Once your implants have fully healed, you can eat virtually anything, even hard, sticky, and crunchy foods.
How Painful Is Implant Surgery?
You should feel little to no pain during the procedure due to the local anesthetic and sedation. It is normal, however, to experience pain in the three to five days following your procedure. Any discomfort following surgery can be managed with over-the-counter medications or by following your dentist's instructions.
Do All-on-4 Implants Feel Bulky?
Dental implants become a permanent fixture in your mouth and act as a sturdy base for your life-like dentures. Unlike traditional dentures that can easily slide out of place, implant-supported dentures stay firmly in place and feel natural. Your new smile will look and function like healthy, natural teeth.
So I Don't Need One Implant Per Missing Tooth?
It is a common misconception that each missing tooth requires its own implant, but that is not the case. Fortunately, replacing teeth with dental implants doesn't have to be a 1:1 process. An entire denture on the upper or lower arch can be supported with as few as four implants when you choose a distinguished and reputable practice.
