Replace Your Missing Teeth & Support Your Bite
As one of the many dental implant restorations we offer here in Farmington, all-on-4s (sometimes also called “all-on-X”) are a great way to replace all of your missing teeth without losing a significant amount of bite force. After treatment, you’ll be able to enjoy all of your favorite foods with ease. Plus, because they use fewer implants than other dental implant restorations, all-on-4s are an excellent solution for patients with low jawbone density.

How Do All-On-4 Dental Implants Work?
All-on-4s are essentially a type of implant denture. The goal is to replace an entire arch of teeth by connecting the base and false teeth of a denture to implant posts that are hidden below the gumline. What makes all-on-4s stand out is they only involve four implant posts, while other implant dentures use as many as eight.
With our CT cone beam scanner and digital X-rays, we’ll identify the thickest areas of your jawbone. Since our team will only be placing four implants, it’s important to make the most of your jawbone’s density and choose the strongest locations.
Am I A Candidate for All-On-4 Dental Implants?
This is something we’ll discuss during your consultation – though most adults with an entire arch of missing teeth are good candidates for all-on-4 dental implants. Fewer implants means you’ll need less jawbone mass overall, and that even if other types of implant dentures aren’t right for you, you could qualify for all-on-4s.
Benefits of All-On-4 Dental Implants
To sum everything up, all-on-4 dental implants in Farmington offer unique benefits that you might not necessarily get with “regular” implant restorations. And rest assured, you’ll also be able to enjoy the full advantages that dental implants provide! Here’s a sneak peak of what your life could look like with all-on-4s:
- Tough, crunchy, and chewy foods won’t be a problem – your bite will be well-supported

All-On-4 VS Traditional Dental Implants
Compared to traditional dental implant restorations, all-on-4s tend to be less costly and have shorter treatment times. After all, they require fewer implant posts and can often be provided without needing to add a gum graft to the treatment plan. In some cases, patients don’t even have to wait to receive their fully customized restoration. Depending on your situation, you may be able to walk away with a complete all-on-4 the same day as your implant surgery!
