When Traditional Dentures Are Not the Right Answer
Conventional removable dentures have served patients for generations, but for many people they fall short of what a truly functional, confident smile requires. Dentures can slip while eating or speaking, require adhesives to stay in place, contribute to ongoing bone loss in the jaw, and for many patients simply do not feel secure enough to forget about.
The All-on-4® technique is designed specifically for patients in this situation. Using four strategically placed dental implants, All-on-4® supports a full-arch restoration that is secured permanently over them. You will be able to speak clearly, eat all your favorite foods, and smile with complete confidence. And unlike removable dentures, they will never slip, shift, or get misplaced.

The Benefits of All-on-4® Implants
All-on-4® is a minimally invasive method to restore the full function of your mouth and give you back the confidence that comes with a complete, beautiful smile. The procedure uses computer-guided technology so our doctors can identify where the highest levels of bone exist, allowing implants to be placed without the need for bone grafting in most cases. By avoiding bone grafting, you heal faster and with fewer complications.
Not only does All-on-4® restore the beauty of your smile, it also helps prevent further bone loss. The implants act as a scaffold that supports the existing jawbone, giving it the stimulation it needs to maintain its density and structure. This is something no conventional denture can provide.
How All-on-4® Treatment Works at Newark Smiles Dental
Consultation and Planning
Our doctors use advanced computer-guided technology and 3D imaging to map your jawbone precisely, identifying the four optimal locations for implant placement based on where your bone is strongest and most dense. This meticulous planning is what makes All-on-4® so predictable and so effective.
Implant Placement
Using computer-guided surgery, our doctors place four small titanium implant posts into the jawbone at the pre-planned positions. Titanium is biocompatible and integrates naturally with bone, forming a stable, permanent foundation for your full-arch restoration. Two implants are placed vertically at the front of the arch, and two are placed at an angle at the back to maximize contact with available bone and eliminate the need for grafting in the posterior jaw.
Same-Day Temporary Restoration
Immediately following implant placement, a temporary fixed denture is attached to the implants. You leave our Newark office that same day with a complete, functional set of teeth. You can smile, speak, and eat soft foods immediately while the implants heal and integrate with the bone beneath.
Healing and Osseointegration
Over the following months, the natural bone heals and grows around the implants through a process called osseointegration, just as it would around the root of a natural tooth. This process typically takes three to six months and results in a permanent, rock-solid foundation for your final restoration.
Final Restoration
Once osseointegration is complete, you return to our office to be fitted for your permanent full-arch restoration. This final prosthesis is precisely crafted to fit your implants perfectly, match the natural appearance of healthy teeth, and deliver full chewing function that feels completely natural.
Caring for Your All-on-4® Restoration
Once your permanent restoration is in place, maintaining your new smile is straightforward and genuinely simple. You can eat and drink your favorite foods and speak as clearly as you would with natural teeth.
Daily care involves brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and keeping the area around the implants clean with floss or a water flosser. There are no soaking solutions, no adhesives, and no removing them at night. Your All-on-4® restoration is cared for just like natural teeth.
Regular professional maintenance visits with our Newark Smiles Dental team are essential to the long-term success of your All-on-4® system. At each visit, our team will inspect all components of your implant system, professionally clean around the implant sites, and regularly evaluate your bone levels to ensure your smile and your implants remain in excellent condition for years to come.
Consistency with both your home care routine and your professional maintenance schedule is the single most important factor in the long-term success of your All-on-4® restoration.
Are You a Good Candidate for All-on-4® in Newark, CA?
All-on-4® is an excellent option for patients who:
- Are missing all or most teeth in one or both arches
- Have failing teeth that need to be removed
- Currently wear conventional dentures and are unhappy with the fit, stability, or feel
- Have experienced bone loss and want to avoid bone grafting
- Want a permanent, fixed solution rather than a removable appliance
- Are in generally good health without conditions that severely impair healing
Even patients who have been told they do not have enough bone for traditional implants are often excellent candidates for All-on-4® because of the strategic angled placement of the posterior implants. Our doctors will evaluate your specific bone levels using 3D imaging at your consultation and give you a clear, honest assessment of your candidacy.
