All-on-4®
If you are replacing an entire arch of teeth, Dr. Matthew Eaton may recommend All-on-4® implant-supported dentures rather than traditional complete dentures. All-on-4® implant dentistry combines the best features of implants and dentures to give you a beautiful, long-lasting, stable and cost-effective solution for your smile.
All-on-4® implants are very similar to traditional dentures in terms of appearance. Unlike dentures, however, they are stabilized by four strategically placed implants. These implants keep your denture stable in your mouth, preventing the loose and “floating” feelings that many denture wearers describe. This enables you to eat, speak and smile with full confidence. Because this treatment relies on only a few implants rather than an entire dental arch of single-tooth implants, it is less expensive. Additionally, our dentist may even be able to retrofit your existing dentures with implants for this treatment.
Implant-supported dentures are designed to look, feel and function like your natural teeth so that you can enjoy a long-lasting solution. The goal of All-on-4® implants is to give you a result that not only improves your quality of life and oral function but boosts your confidence and provides the maximum possible benefits.
