Permanently replace a full arch of teeth in a single procedure, often without bone grafting.
With All-on-4® dental implants, we can restore your full upper or lower set of teeth using four implants placed where bone is strongest. At Naperville Dental Specialists, your treatment is led by Dr. Anthony LaVacca, a board-certified prosthodontist with advanced training in full-arch and full-mouth rehabilitation. He is unique in his ability to provide both surgical and restorative care, so your treatment plan, placement, and final smile are fully coordinated from start to finish.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is an advanced technique used to replace one or both arches of teeth. Instead of inserting an implant for each missing tooth, four implants are strategically positioned towards the back of the jaw where bone density is highest. The implants are angled to provide maximum support for a custom fixed prosthesis.
For many patients with bone loss, this approach can reduce or eliminate the need for bone grafting, while still delivering secure, natural-looking results.
All-on-4 full-arch dental implants can:
-
Restore your ability to bite and chew properly
- Improve speech clarity
- Support facial structure and aesthetics
-
Provide a stable, more comfortable alternative to removable dentures
The Life-Changing Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
Immediate Smile Transformation
If you’re a candidate, you can receive temporary teeth on the same day as your implant surgery, meaning you’ll leave our office with a functional new smile.
Fewer Implants Required
Using just four implants per arch reduces the overall cost and surgical complexity while still providing strong support.
Often Avoids Bone Grafting
The strategic placement of implants allows many patients with reduced bone density to qualify without additional grafting procedures, which saves significant time and money.
Stable, Non-Removable Restorations
Unlike dentures, implant-supported teeth stay securely in place while eating, speaking, and smiling.
Natural Look and Function
Your custom prosthesis is designed by Dr. LaVacca and crafted by a top ceramicist to look and feel just like natural teeth.

Is All-on-4 Right for Me?
All-on-4 can be a great option if you’re missing most or all of your teeth, struggling with loose dentures, or dealing with advanced dental breakdown that’s affecting chewing and confidence. The best way to determine if you’re a candidate is to come in for a comprehensive consultation with a 3D CT scan so Dr. LaVacca can evaluate your bone conditions, bite, and long-term goals.

A Clear Path to a Permanent Smile
1. Consultation
Dr. LaVacca performs an exam and assesses a 3D CT scan of your teeth and jaws to evaluate the quantity and quality of bone and your overall oral health. After chatting with you about your goals, he maps out a treatment plan to achieve maximum stability and aesthetics. You even get to see a preview of your future smile.
2. Implant Placement
During your All-on-4 implant surgery, Dr. LaVacca strategically places four implants into your jawbone. These implants will support a full arch of replacement teeth.
3. Temporary Teeth
Many patients can leave with a fixed temporary smile the same day as their implant surgery.
4. Final Restoration
After healing, your final prosthesis is crafted. We work with the top ceramicists in the country to create your permanent replacement teeth. This ensures a completely natural appearance and excellent long-term function.
All-on-4 Considerations
All-on-4 is efficient and often avoids bone grafting, but it’s also a full-arch procedure that requires expert planning. Like any implant treatment, long-term success depends on bone health, bite forces, home care, and professional maintenance. During your consultation, we’ll review your candidacy, the risks, and alternatives so you can make a confident decision.
All-on-4 Recovery
You may experience swelling, soreness, and mild bruising for a few days. We’ll provide clear pre- and post-op instructions, including medication guidance, ice protocols, and diet recommendations to support healing. Most people are able to return to work within a day or two. Check out our full All-on-4 post-op instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do All-on-4 dental implants last ?
With proper care, your All-on-4 dental implants can last a lifetime. The prosthetic teeth may need servicing over time due to normal wear.
Can I get teeth the same day as my All-on-4 surgery ?
If you’re a candidate for immediate loading, we can place a fixed temporary prosthesis the same day as your surgery. This depends on factors such as bone quality and your oral health.
Do I need bone grafting ?
All-on-4 is designed to maximize existing bone, which often reduces the need for bone grafting. That said, every case is different. Coming in for a consultation is the best way to determine if bone grafting will be necessary.
Is All-on-4 better than dentures ?
Full-arch and full-mouth dental implants are more stable and comfortable than dentures, because the teeth are fixed and not resting on the gums. This means there’s no irritation, slipping or sliding, or special hygiene requirements.
Am I a candidate for All-on-4 dental implants if I’ve been told I have bone loss ?
Possibly. Candidacy should be evaluated with a 3D CT scan and a specialist-led plan. We welcome second opinions.
How much does All-on-4 cost ?
Your All-on-4 cost will depend on a variety of factors, including the complexity of your case. At your consultation, we’ll provide you with a transparent cost breakdown so there are no surprises. To make care affordable, we file with most PPO insurance plans and offer flexible financing options.
