All-on-4 Dental Implants in Bhubaneswar — Full Arch Solution
Dr. Arpita Dash
Dental Surgeon & Smile Specialist
All-on-4 dental implants are a revolutionary solution for patients who have lost most or all teeth in one arch. Instead of replacing each tooth individually, four implants support a full set of fixed teeth. This reduces cost, surgery time, and healing period while providing a permanent, natural-looking smile. The All-on-4 technique has transformed full-arch rehabilitation, with success rates above 95% over 10 years.
In Bhubaneswar, many patients with missing teeth rely on removable dentures, which can be uncomfortable, unstable, and limit food choices. All-on-4 implants offer a life-changing alternative that feels and functions like natural teeth, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
At YourDentist Laser Dental Clinic in Bhubaneswar, Dr. Arpita Dash offers All-on-4 implants for patients who want a stable, permanent alternative to dentures, using advanced CBCT-guided planning for precise implant placement.
What are All-on-4 implants?
All-on-4 is a dental implant technique where four implants are placed in the jawbone to support a full arch of teeth. Two implants are placed vertically in the front, and two are angled in the back. This angled placement maximises bone contact and often avoids the need for bone grafting.
How All-on-4 differs from traditional implants
| Factor | All-on-4 | Traditional implants |
|---|---|---|
| Implants per arch | 4 | 6 to 8 |
| Bone grafting needed | Rarely | Often |
| Surgery time | Shorter | Longer |
| Cost per arch | Lower | Higher |
| Healing time | 2 to 6 months | 3 to 8 months |
| Temporary teeth | Same day or next day | After healing |
Who is a candidate for All-on-4?
All-on-4 is suitable for patients who:
- Have lost most or all teeth in one arch
- Wear dentures and want a fixed solution
- Have enough bone for implant placement
- Are in good general health
- Do not smoke heavily
- Want a permanent alternative to dentures
Dr. Arpita Dash evaluates each patient with CBCT scans and clinical examination before recommending All-on-4.
The All-on-4 procedure step by step
Step 1: Consultation and planning
Dr. Dash examines your mouth, reviews CBCT scans, and discusses your goals. A treatment plan is created with the expected cost and timeline.
Step 2: Imant surgery
Four implants are placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia. The surgery takes 2 to 3 hours per arch. Most patients go home the same day.
Step 3: Temporary teeth
A temporary fixed bridge is attached to the implants on the same day or within a few days. This allows you to leave with functional teeth.
Step 4: Healing
The implants fuse with the bone over 2 to 6 months. During this time, you eat soft foods and avoid hard chewing.
Step 5: Final bridge
Once healing is complete, the temporary bridge is replaced with a permanent, custom-made bridge. This is designed to look natural and fit comfortably.
