All-on-4® Implants
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of teeth using dental implants, while traditional dentures rest on the gums and can shift or loosen over time. Because we secure All-on-4 dentures with implants, the teeth stay in place while you eat, talk, laugh, and smile.
Here are some important differences between All-on-4 and regular dentures:
- Comfort and stability — All-on-4 feels more like natural teeth because the implants are anchored in bone. There are no adhesives, no rubbing, and no slipping.
- Chewing ability — Implants provide a strong biting force. Many patients enjoy foods they had to avoid with dentures, such as steak, apples, or crusty bread.
- Jawbone health — Implants stimulate the bone like natural roots, which helps prevent bone loss and changes in facial shape. Dentures cannot provide this benefit.
- Appearance and confidence — All-on-4 teeth are custom-designed to match your facial features, speech patterns, and smile line. They look natural—not bulky or “denture-like.”
Dentures remain a valid option for some patients, especially when cost or healing time is a concern. Dr. Hu will explain the pros, cons, cost differences, and long-term expectations so you can confidently choose the solution that feels right for you.
