All-on-4
All-on-4 is a fixed full-arch dental implant treatment that replaces an entire row of teeth on four implants. Dr. Luciano Retana plans and restores each case at Arapahoe Dental.
A protocol that replaces the upper or lower arch of teeth using four implants angled to maximize available bone. The final teeth are fixed in place and do not come out.
After a 3D scan and case workup at the Boulder office, Dr. Luciano Retana places the four implants in a single coordinated visit. A fixed temporary set of teeth is delivered the same day where clinically sound. After three to six months of healing, the final restoration is placed.
All-on-4 takes patients out of removable dentures and partial fixes and into teeth that stay in. Speech, chewing, and esthetics are restored under one plan by one prosthodontist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about all-on-4.
Adults missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, or who are tired of removable dentures and want teeth that stay put.
After planning with a 3D scan, the implants are placed and a fixed set of temporary teeth often goes in the same day. The final teeth come later.
From consultation to the final fixed teeth is usually four to six months, with same-day temporaries so you're never without teeth.
It's a bigger treatment than a single implant, so good overall health and a willingness to follow the healing plan matter.
Expect some swelling and a soft-food diet in the first week or two. The implants then heal quietly under the gums over a few months.
