What Are All-On-Four Dental Implants?
All-on-4 implants offer a groundbreaking dental solution for replacing a complete arch of missing teeth using only four strategically positioned implants. This advanced technique ensures a stable and permanent base for a custom-designed set of teeth, enhancing functionality and appearance. Patients with All-on-4 implants can enjoy a natural-looking smile and regain confidence in eating, speaking, and daily living.
How the All-On-4 Procedure Works
The four implants in the jawbone support a fixed prosthesis, which can be fitted within 24 hours of surgery. Once the implants are positioned, the bone tissues integrate, creating a solid attachment point for the dental prosthesis.
What to Expect During the Procedure
At Dr. Michalopoulos Dental, we begin the procedure by ensuring your comfort, then local anaesthesia is administered. Preparation may involve removing broken or decayed teeth prior and any diseased or infected tissue in the mouth and jaw.
During the implantation, titanium posts are inserted into the jawbone. Typically, two implants are placed in the front and two in the back to evenly distribute force across the denture. After the implants are in place, the surgical sites are sutured.

Why choose All-on-4?
As technology and equipment continue to develop and evolve, the dental industry is allowed to advance and create greater alternatives for our patients. The All-On-4 method is far more superior than other outdated denture or implant procedures, as it creates a permanent and natural solution for missing teeth.
Post-Procedure Recovery
After the procedure, some swelling, bruising, and discomfort are expected for a few days. Your dentist may prescribe pain medications or antibiotics to help manage the pain and prevent infection.
It is crucial to follow your dentist’s post-operative care instructions carefully, which may include:
- Eating soft foods for 24 to 48 hours following the procedure
- Using salty water rinses which promote healing
- Avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption for 24 to 48 hours
- Preventing infection by cleaning around the implants
Most patients can resume their regular activities within a few days, although avoiding strenuous activity and exercise for a few weeks is essential.
