What Is All-on-4? Is It Right for You?
All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses just four strategically placed implants to support a complete set of fixed teeth. Two implants are placed straight in the front of the jaw, and two are angled toward the back with a design that maximizes contact with available bone and typically eliminates the need for bone grafting. The result is a permanent, non-removable arch that looks, feels and functions like your natural teeth.
Good candidates include patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, patients struggling with loose or uncomfortable dentures, and patients who have been told they lack sufficient bone for traditional implants. The angled placement technique that defines All-on-4 was developed precisely to work with reduced bone volume, so a previous “not enough bone” determination does not automatically rule you out. Dr. Creech-Gionis, a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), evaluates each case individually using 3D digital imaging to determine whether All-on-4 is the right fit for you.
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation and 3D planning session. On procedure day, the implants are placed and a provisional arch is attached. After a healing period, your final restoration is placed, with fixed, beautiful teeth you never take out. Patients report being able to eat foods they hadn’t enjoyed in years, speak with confidence again, and smile without hesitation. Call us at (813) 265-2273 to schedule your full-arch consultation.
How Does All-on-4 Compare to Dentures?
Traditional dentures sit on top of your gums and rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place. They can shift when you eat or speak, require removal at night, and do nothing to stop the bone loss that occurs after tooth loss. Over time, that bone loss changes the shape of your jaw, which is why dentures that fit well at first often feel loose years later. Dentures are a workable short-term solution, but most patients who wear them long-term describe ongoing frustration.
All-on-4 implants are anchored directly in your jawbone, so they don’t slip, don’t require adhesive, and don’t come out at night. More importantly, the implants stimulate the bone the same way natural tooth roots do, which slows or stops the bone loss that makes dentures progressively harder to wear. The arch is fixed in place, so you brush it like your natural teeth, eat what you want, and never think about it coming loose.
In terms of longevity, All-on-4 is designed to last many years with proper care, while dentures typically require replacement or relining every several years as your jaw continues to change. When you factor in the compounding cost of denture adjustments, adhesive, and eventual replacement, All-on-4 is a long-term investment that many patients find delivers far a greater quality of life. Our team can walk you through both options at your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
One Team. Start to Finish.
At many large implant centers and national chains, the experience is fragmented. A treatment coordinator presents the plan. A surgeon places the implants. A separate restorative doctor handles the final teeth. Referrals move you between offices. Each handoff is another opportunity for details to fall through the cracks and another unfamiliar face to explain your situation to.
At Tampa Dental Wellness of Carrollwood, the doctor who reviews your 3D digital images and plans your case is the same doctor who places your implants and delivers your final restoration. Dr. Creech-Gionis holds Fellowship status with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) (the same level of specialized implant training that national chains advertise), and your treatment is delivered in a local practice where you are a patient, not a number. It’s the same team and the same building, with a single point of contact throughout.
This matters for a procedure as involved as All-on-4. Continuity of care means your doctors understand your full history, your healing progress and your aesthetic goals at every stage. There are no transition gaps or re-explanations, and no surprises. Our female-owned practice was built on the kind of personal attention that a chain clinic simply cannot replicate.
Financing Your All-on-4 Investment
All-on-4 is a significant investment, and the vast majority of patients who choose full-arch implants finance their treatment. Our team is experienced in helping our patients structure a monthly payment that fits their budget, so the upfront cost doesn’t stand between you and a permanent solution.
We work with CareCredit, Cherry and Health First Dental (HFD), three financing partners that offer extended plans specifically suited for high-value dental procedures. Each has different terms, approval criteria and plan structures, which means more patients qualify for a plan that works for them. We’ll help you understand your options at your consultation so you can make your decision with full information.
For patients without dental insurance or who want to stretch their coverage further, our Platinum Wellness Savings Plan offers a membership-based alternative that provides wellness visit coverage, exams and discounts on restorative services. Ask our team how it works and whether it makes sense alongside financing for your case.
Most dental insurance plans do not cover All-on-4 in full, but many provide partial benefits for implant-related components. Our team will review your coverage before your procedure and help you understand exactly what your plan will and won’t cover. Call (813) 265-2273 to speak with our team about your options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional dental implants replace individual teeth, with one implant per missing tooth. All-on-4 uses just four implants to support an entire arch of fixed teeth. It’s a full-arch solution designed for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth on the upper jaw, lower jaw or both. The four implants are positioned to maximize contact with available bone, which is why the procedure can often be completed without bone grafting.
Possibly, yes. The angled placement technique used in All-on-4 was specifically developed to work with patients who have experienced bone loss after tooth loss. By angling the rear implants, Dr. Creech-Gionis can engage denser bone in the back of the jaw that standard vertical implants cannot reach. A 3D digital imaging scan at your consultation will tell us exactly what your bone volume looks like and whether All-on-4 is appropriate for your case.
The overall process from consultation to final restoration typically spans several months, with most of that time devoted to healing after your implant placement. Your consultation and 3D planning can usually be scheduled quickly. Implant placement and attachment of your provisional arch happen on procedure day. The healing phase, during which the implants integrate with the bone, takes a few months. Your final restoration is placed once healing is confirmed. Our team will give you a clear timeline at your consultation based on your specific case.
“Teeth in a Day” is a marketing term used by many practices to describe the same concept: placing implants and attaching a provisional arch on the same day as surgery, so you leave with a full set of teeth. All-on-4 follows the same protocol, as your provisional arch is attached the day the implants are placed. Your final, permanent restoration is placed after the healing period is complete. So yes, you can leave procedure day with a full arch of teeth, though the final restoration comes later.
All-on-4 is fixed, meaning it does not come out and cannot slip. Dentures rest on the gums and depend on suction or adhesive to stay in place. All-on-4 implants are anchored in the jawbone, which also stimulates the bone and slows the deterioration that causes dentures to become ill-fitting over time. Most patients who make the switch from dentures describe All-on-4 as a significant improvement in comfort, confidence and quality of daily life.
The cost of All-on-4 varies depending on your specific case, such as which arches are being treated, your bone volume, the type of final restoration and other clinical factors. We don’t publish a flat fee because every full-arch case is different. What we can tell you is that most patients finance their treatment, and we work with CareCredit, Cherry and HFD to help make monthly payments manageable.
