At the office of Dr. Max H. Molgard Jr., DDS, FACP, we specialize in advanced implant procedures like All-on-4 to restore smiles with comfort, precision, and long-term success.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants use just four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth. This technique avoids the need for a full set of individual implants while still offering exceptional stability and function.
Benefits of All-on-4
- Fewer implants required: Only four implants needed per arch
- Same-day teeth: Walk out with a full set of teeth the same day as surgery with our Teeth in a Day service
- No bone grafting in many cases: Implants are angled to make use of existing bone
- Natural look and feel: Fixed prosthetic mimics natural teeth
- Long-term durability: Can last decades with proper care
We often recommend this treatment for patients looking to replace traditional dentures with a more stable and functional option.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4
How long do All-on-4 dental implants last?
With proper care and routine dental visits, All-on-4 implants can last 15 years or more. The implant posts themselves often last a lifetime, while the prosthetic arch may eventually need replacement.
Is the All-on-4 procedure painful?
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation, making it comfortable for most patients. Some post-operative soreness is expected, but it is generally manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Can I eat normally with All-on-4 implants?
Yes. Once fully healed, All-on-4 allows you to enjoy a normal diet—including foods that are difficult with removable dentures.
How do I clean and maintain my All-on-4 implants?
Daily brushing and flossing, combined with professional cleanings, are key.
Am I a candidate if I’ve been told I need bone grafting?
Possibly. One of the advantages of All-on-4 is that it often avoids the need for bone grafts. A full evaluation with 3D imaging will help determine your options.
