Full Arch Restoration
All-on-4® Dental Implants in Cumming, GA
All-on-4® dental implants replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth using just four strategically placed implants. At Jawline Oral Surgery, Dr. William Shin delivers same-day full-arch restoration with the precision of CBCT-guided surgical planning.
Understanding All-on-4®
What Is the All-on-4® Treatment?
The All-on-4® treatment concept uses four dental implants to support a complete set of fixed replacement teeth. Two implants are placed vertically in the front of the jaw, and two are angled in the back to maximize contact with available bone. This angulation often eliminates the need for bone grafting, even in patients who have experienced significant bone loss.
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4® implants are fixed in place. They do not shift, click, or require adhesives. Patients can eat, speak, and smile with confidence knowing their teeth are securely anchored. The procedure is often completed in a single day, meaning you can arrive with failing teeth and leave with a full set of temporary fixed teeth.
Benefits
All-on-4® vs Traditional Dentures
Fixed, Not Removable
All-on-4® teeth are permanently attached to implants. No adhesives, no slipping, no removing them at night.
Preserves Jawbone
Implants stimulate the jawbone like natural tooth roots, helping prevent the bone resorption and facial collapse that occur with traditional dentures.
Same-Day Results
In many cases, implants are placed and temporary teeth are attached the same day, so you never have to go without teeth.
Often No Bone Graft Needed
The angled placement of the posterior implants maximizes existing bone, frequently allowing treatment without separate grafting procedures.
What to Expect
The All-on-4® Procedure Step by Step
Comprehensive Consultation
Dr. Shin performs a thorough oral exam with CBCT 3D imaging to assess bone volume, plan implant positions, and determine candidacy.
Surgery Day
Under IV sedation or general anesthesia, any remaining teeth are extracted, the jaw is prepared, and four implants are placed. A temporary fixed bridge is attached the same day.
Healing Period
Over the next several months, the implants integrate with your jawbone. You wear your temporary teeth during this time and can eat soft foods normally.
Final Prosthesis
Once healing is complete, your permanent bridge is fabricated and attached. The final restoration is designed for durability, aesthetics, and a natural bite.
