All-on-4 Dental Implants
Are you missing your teeth on one or both arches, but have been told you don't qualify for dental implants? Using the All-on-4® method, Drs. Mohamed Saccoh and Kheri-Ann Robinson can help restore your smile, often without preparatory bone grafting.
Request an All-on-4 consultation at our practice serving Baltimore, MD, to restore your oral function and appearance.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is a dental implant technique that supports a denture using just four strategically placed implants. This is great for patients with mild to moderate bone loss who would otherwise require preparatory bone grafting to support implants. By placing two of the implants at an angle, your dentist can maximize the existing bone material so the implants can properly fuse to the jawbone.
Traditional implant placement requires six to eight implants, but the All-on-4 method only requires four to restore a full arch. Dentures are then secured to the implant posts to restore your smile.
Candidates for All-on-4
You may be a good candidate for All-on-4 treatment if you:
Are Missing Most or All of Your Teeth
The All-on-4 method is for patients missing all of their teeth along one or both dental arches. If you have several healthy remaining teeth, an implant-supported dental bridge or partial denture may be a better option.
Are in Good Oral Health
You must be free of tooth decay and gum disease before implant placement. This ensures a healthy foundation for your dental implants.
Have Sufficient Jawbone Material
While this treatment allows many patients with bone loss to skip preparatory bone grafting, you must still have enough bone material left to support the implants.
Do Not Use Tobacco
Tobacco use has been linked to an increased risk of oral health complications, including implant failure. It is best to stop all tobacco products before your implant placement procedure.

Four implants are used to restore a full arch. Two implants are placed at an angle to maximize your existing bone material.
Invest in Your Oral Health
Because the jawbone relies on the stimulation tooth roots provide, even a single missing tooth can cause the bone to begin deteriorating. This can lead to issues such as sunken facial features, further tooth loss, and more. While dental implants are typically more expensive than traditional dentures, they prevent bone atrophy and can be a valuable investment in your oral health. In fact, by investing in your smile now, you can save time and money in the future by preventing the need for further surgical intervention later on.
Don't wait and risk further bone loss. Invest in your oral health and find out if All-on-4 dental implants are right for you by requesting a consultation at our office in Joppa, MD. We proudly serve the greater Baltimore area with expert dental care to help patients achieve beautiful, healthy, and functional smiles.

View On GoogleNervous About Treatment?
We understand that dental phobia and anxiety is a real concern for some patients. We go above and beyond to ensure you are completely comfortable and that your experience at our Baltimore-area office is as positive as possible.
For those who need a little extra help to remain calm and comfortable, we offer oral conscious sedation. This allows patients to remain awake and able to converse with their dental team while being in a deep state of relaxation. Your dentist will prescribe you an anti-anxiety medication to take prior to your appointment. The dose is adjusted to fit your needs. Because it wears off gradually, you will need a responsible adult to take you to and from your appointment.
What if I am Not a Candidate for All-on-4?
We provide comprehensive treatment options and tailor care to your unique situation. Depending on your needs, you may qualify for other surgical and non-surgical restorative options, such as:
In some cases, four implants may not be enough to ensure a stable restoration. For these patients, six to eight dental implants can be used along a dental arch to fully support your denture.
If you are missing a single tooth, an implant-supported dental crown can fill in the gap. This solution restores your oral function and appearance while providing you with the benefits of dental implants.
A dental bridge supported by dental implants can help patients missing several consecutive teeth. An added benefit is that, unlike a traditional bridge, you do not have to alter supporting teeth.
If you do not qualify for dental implants, our Baltimore area practice provides traditional full and partial dentures, dental crowns, and bridges made from high-quality materials and fitted to ensure proper function.
If you have severe jawbone atrophy, we can coordinate bone grafting with a trusted oral surgeon to help you qualify for dental implant placement.
Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4 Dental Implants
Is implant placement painful?
No. The treatment site will be thoroughly numbed before your treatment begins. We also offer oral conscious sedation to help you relax and stay completely comfortable during your procedure.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
Because dental implants are made of durable titanium, they are designed to last a lifetime. However, your denture will wear over time and eventually need to be replaced. With proper care and maintenance, your custom restoration can last for 15 years or more.
How do I care for my new smile?
Caring for your newly restored smile is easy. Because your denture is secured to the implant post, simply brush and floss your denture as you would natural teeth; a floss threader can help you clean between the restoration and your gums. Be sure to maintain your regular dental exams and cleanings to keep your smile healthy for years to come.
I have severe bone loss. Can All-on-4 still help?
All-on-4 dental implants require sufficient bone material to graft to. If you have severe jawbone deterioration, you may still need bone grafting in order to qualify for treatment. We will coordinate care with a trusted oral surgeon for bone grafting. The good news is once your dental implants are placed, they will help keep your jawbone strong and healthy for years to come.
