What Is All-on-4?

The All-on-4® concept uses just four dental implants to support a full set of teeth on your upper or lower jaw. Unlike removable dentures, these teeth are fixed in place and function like natural teeth—allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

At Westphalia Dental Implant Center, Dr. James Chung offers this advanced treatment entirely in-house using state-of-the-art 4D imaging, digital design, and surgical planning.

Key Benefits of All-on-4:

• Fewer implants required
  
• Can often avoid bone grafting
  
• Same-day smile in many cases
  
• Fixed (non-removable) and secure
  
• Long-term success with proper care
  

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a great fit for All-on-4 if you:

• Have failing teeth or no teeth at all
  
• Are currently wearing dentures but want something more stable
  
• Have been told you don’t qualify for regular implants due to bone loss
  
• Want to avoid removable options or complex surgeries
  

Even patients who have struggled with dental issues for years can often benefit from this system. Dr. Chung offers comprehensive consultations to determine your options and create a plan that works with your health, goals, and timeline.

What Makes All-on-4 Different from Traditional Implants?

Traditional Implants vs. All-on-4

Number of Implants

• Traditional Implants: 6–10 per arch
• All-on-4: 4 per arch

Treatment Timeline

• Traditional Implants: Months
• All-on-4: Often same-day

Bone Grafting Needed?

• Traditional Implants: Often yes
• All-on-4: Often not

Fixed or Removable

• Traditional Implants: Both options
• All-on-4: Fixed

Total Cost

• Traditional Implants: Higher per tooth
• All-on-4: More efficient for full-arch

The All-on-4 method is engineered for efficiency, which means less surgery, less time, and potentially lower total costs compared to placing multiple individual implants.

Is All-on-4 Worth the Cost?

Here’s what patients often consider when deciding if All-on-4 is worth it:

• Longevity: With proper care, All-on-4 can last 15–20 years or more
  
• Comfort: Fixed bridges feel and function more like natural teeth
  
• Confidence: No slipping, clicking, or adhesives
  
• Convenience: Eat what you want. Speak clearly. Smile confidently.
  
• Time Savings: Many patients walk out the same day with a new smile
  

While upfront costs can be significant, the long-term benefits often outweigh the expense—especially when factoring in the comfort and quality of life improvements.
