At Dental Specialties Northwest, our Seattle specialists deliver permanent, natural-looking teeth in just one day—giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without compromise.
What Are All On 4 Dental Implants?
All On 4 is an innovative approach to implant dentistry that uses only four dental implants to support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth. Unlike traditional methods that might require 6-8 implants per arch or extensive bone grafting, this technique maximizes the use of available bone by strategically angling the posterior implants. This revolutionary procedure allows patients to receive a full set of secure, fixed teeth with just four implants, typically in just one day.

Our Seattle practice specializes in providing comfort, care, and luxury throughout your implant journey. The All On 4 technique represents the culmination of decades of advancement in dental implants, offering patients with significant tooth loss a faster, less invasive path to a complete, functional smile.
Imagine waking up with a full set of teeth that look and function like natural teeth. Let our All On 4 dental implants give you back the confidence to smile, eat, and live without worrying about your teeth.

Benefits of All On 4 Dental Implants
Simplified Treatment Process
All On 4 dental implants significantly streamline the implant process by using just four implants instead of the 6-8 typically required for full-arch restoration. This approach reduces the number of surgical sites, shortening your procedure time and minimizing discomfort. For many patients, All On 4 eliminates the need for bone grafting, even if you’ve been told you have insufficient bone for traditional implants. This simplified treatment process makes dental implants accessible to more patients while reducing overall treatment time from what could be years with traditional methods to just a few months with All On 4.
Immediate Functional Results
Unlike traditional implant approaches that often require months without teeth or with temporary removable dentures, All On 4 provides immediate results. You’ll receive a fixed temporary restoration the same day as your implant surgery, allowing you to leave our Seattle office with teeth that look natural and function effectively. This immediate loading approach means you can smile confidently, speak clearly, and eat many foods right away. The psychological benefit of never having to go without teeth during your treatment cannot be overstated—patients often report significant improvement in their social confidence from day one.
Preservation of Jawbone
When teeth are lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate without the stimulation provided by natural tooth roots. All On 4 dental implants help preserve your remaining jawbone by providing this needed stimulation. The strategic placement of the four implants maximizes their contact with existing bone, effectively halting bone loss and sometimes even allowing for bone regeneration. This preservation of jawbone structure maintains facial aesthetics by preventing the collapsed appearance often associated with long-term denture use. By protecting your bone structure, All On 4 implants contribute to both your oral health and your facial appearance for years to come.
Long-Lasting, Natural Results
All On 4 dental implants provide exceptional longevity compared to traditional tooth replacement options. With proper care, the implants themselves can last a lifetime, while the attached prosthetic teeth typically last 10-15 years before needing replacement. The final restoration looks remarkably natural, with customized tooth shape, size, and color creating a smile that complements your facial features. These implant-supported teeth function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat virtually anything without concerns about slipping or discomfort. The result is a restoration that looks, feels, and functions so naturally that many patients forget they have implants at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients missing all or most of their teeth in an arch are candidates for All On 4 dental implants, even those who have been told they lack adequate bone for traditional implants. The innovative angled placement technique utilized in All On 4 makes maximum use of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. During your initial consultation at our Seattle office, we'll evaluate your jawbone density, overall dental health, and medical history to determine if All On 4 is the right solution for you. Even patients who have experienced significant bone loss or have been wearing dentures for many years can often receive All On 4 implants without preliminary procedures.
While All On 4 implant surgery is less invasive than traditional implant methods, some recovery time is still necessary. Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort for the first 3-5 days, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Some swelling and bruising are normal and typically peak around the third day before gradually subsiding. Most patients return to work and normal activities within 3-7 days, with dietary restrictions for the first few months to protect the healing implants. Our Seattle team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and remains available to address any concerns during your recovery period.
Maintaining your All On 4 restoration is simpler than caring for traditional dentures but requires diligent oral hygiene. Daily brushing around the implants and under the prosthesis is essential, along with using specialized tools like interdental brushes or water flossers to clean difficult-to-reach areas. Regular professional cleanings and examinations at our Seattle office are crucial for long-term success. Our team will provide detailed care instructions and recommend specific oral hygiene products to help you maintain your All On 4 implants. With proper care, your implants can last a lifetime, though the attached prosthetic teeth may need replacement after 10-15 years of use.
Don't spend another day with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures. Our Seattle dental specialists can transform your smile and quality of life with All On 4 dental implants.
