Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement, providing a long-lasting solution for patients who have decayed, broken, or missing teeth. However, traditional implants require an implant for each individual missing tooth — so, what if you’re missing most, if not all of your teeth?
All-on-4 dental implants allow us dentists to replace an entire row of missing teeth using as few as 4 implants to secure a custom-made bridge or denture. At Sedation Dentistry of Sunny Isles, we use the latest technologies and comfort-focused methods to restore the health and beauty of your smile.

1. Restoration of dental function
One of the many qualities that make dental implants such an incredible option for patients is that they function just like natural tooth roots. With All-on-4, just a few implants will give your new teeth the support they need to restore your smile’s function and appearance.
The All-on-4 system can give you a full set of durable teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with ease.
2. Replace entire rows of missing teeth
Traditional implants are a fantastic option for people with only one or a few missing teeth. But patients who’re missing all or most of their teeth can completely restore one or both rows of teeth with as few as 4 implants thanks to the All-on-4 system.
Using 4 strategically placed implants as an anchor for multiple replacements is more efficient, less invasive, and less expensive. If you’re one of the 40 million Americans missing all of their teeth, this advanced method will give you the strong, healthy smile you’ve always wanted.
3. Long-lasting
Most dental implants will last at least 20 years — so if you want a long-lasting solution for missing or damaged teeth, All-on-4 dental implants are the way to go! In fact, with proper care, your dental implants can last a lifetime.
4. Prevent bone loss
Our teeth aren’t just important to our oral health — they’re also essential to the integrity of our jawbone and facial structures. As we talk, eat, and bite throughout the day, our teeth provide stimulation to the jawbone, keeping it strong and healthy.
Missing teeth can lead to additional bone loss over time, resulting in a long list of cosmetic and health-related problems, such as:
- Jaw pain
- Chronic headaches
- Collapsed facial appearance
- Increased risk of cavities
- Changes in speech
- Premature aging
With dental implants, including All-on-4, you can restore your bone density and encourage future growth.
5. Natural appearance
Our custom-made restorations at our Sunny Isles dental office are more than just strong and long-lasting. They also look natural!
Whether you need a single-tooth or full-arch replacement, our implant-supported prosthetics are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. They will blend in seamlessly and match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
6. No need to take them out
One of the many reasons most patients prefer dental implants to dentures is that you don’t have to take them out to clean them. In general, partial and complete dentures need to be removed at night for cleaning and to prevent plaque accumulation on your gums and other oral tissues.
All-on-4 dental implants provide a solution to this inconvenience. Since implants are permanently secured to the jawbone, there’s no need for a removable restoration. Implants feel and function more like your natural teeth — and they can’t slip out of place while you’re eating or talking!
7. Don’t require special care
Just practice daily dental care at home by brushing, flossing, and using a gentle mouthwash, and get routine professional cleanings and exams twice a year to keep your implants strong and healthy.
