What Is the All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure? A Life-Changing Solution for Missing Teeth

By April 13, 2025April 14th, 2025Blog

Are you struggling with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures? The All-on-4® dental implant procedure might be the full-smile solution you’ve been looking for. This innovative technique replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four dental implants—giving you a stable, natural-looking smile that can last a lifetime.
At The Davidson Smile Studio in Lake Orion, we offer All-on-4 to help patients regain confidence, comfort, and function in their daily lives.

What Is All-on-4?

The All-on-4 procedure is a full-arch dental restoration that uses four strategically placed dental implants to support a fixed prosthetic (a full set of teeth). Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 is permanently secured—no adhesives or slipping required.

  • Four implants are placed in the jawbone
  • A custom-made full arch of teeth is attached to the implants
  • You walk out with a brand-new smile, often in one day

Benefits of All-On-4

  • Permanent tooth replacement – no more taking dentures in and out
  • Immediate results – you can leave our office with new teeth the same day
  • Stability and comfort – eat and speak with confidence again
  • Bone preservation – helps prevent further jawbone loss
  • Aesthetic improvement – natural-looking results customized to your face

Who’s a Candidate for All-On-4?

This procedure is ideal for patients who:

  • Are missing most or all of their teeth
  • Wear traditional dentures and want a more permanent solution
  • Have some bone loss (thanks to angled implants, bone grafting is often not needed)
  • Are in generally good health (non-smokers or willing to quit)

At The Davidson Smile Studio, we’ll evaluate your bone health, medical history, and smile goals to ensure All-on-4 is right for you.

What’s the Procedure Like?

  1. Consultation & Imaging
    We start with a full exam, digital scans, and a personalized treatment plan.
  2. Implant Surgery
    Four dental implants are surgically placed into the jaw under local anesthesia or sedation.
  3. Temporary Teeth Placement
    In many cases, a temporary full arch is placed the same day—so you walk out smiling.
  4. Healing & Final Restoration
    After 3–6 months of healing, we replace the temporary teeth with your custom-designed, permanent prosthesis.

At The Smile Studio, we combine experience, compassion, and the latest technology to deliver top-tier dental implant care. Our team is dedicated to helping you feel comfortable every step of the way—from consultation to your final smile reveal.
