The All-on-4 Implant Process
Treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation that includes a review of your health history, an examination, an evaluation of your bone and a discussion of your goals. Advanced imaging and digital scanning are used to plan treatment.
On the day of treatment, any teeth that need to be removed may be addressed, and the implants are then placed in their planned positions. Qualified patients may leave with a temporary fixed restoration while the implants heal.
Same-Day Teeth With All-on-4 Implants
Same-day restorations, when the case allows, are usually temporary. The implants still need time to heal and integrate with the bone before the final restoration is placed. Dr. Hazan will explain the treatment sequence, the healing period and your care instructions before treatment.
Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
Candidacy depends on several clinical factors. Your dentist will evaluate the health of your gums and teeth, the quantity and quality of your bone, any failing teeth, your bite, your overall health and your goals. Some patients may receive immediate implants and temporary teeth, while others may need a different treatment sequence.
All-on-4 Implants for Complex Dental Needs
Dr. Hazan often sees patients seeking second opinions or solutions for extensive or failed dental work. He has performed more than 30,000 extractions and more than 250 full-mouth reconstruction cases. This broad experience allows him to plan the entire course of treatment, including which teeth can be kept and which should be removed.
Advanced Technology for All-on-4 Treatment
Planning tools may include CBCT and 3D imaging, TRIOS digital scanning and digitally guided surgery when appropriate. The technology used depends on your individual case.
All-on-4 Implants vs. Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable, while All-on-4 uses implants to support a fixed restoration. The two options differ in stability, function and maintenance. Neither option is right for everyone, and Dr. Hazan will explain the trade-offs before you make a decision.

What are All-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 uses four strategically placed implants to support a fixed full-arch restoration for the upper or lower arch.

Four implants is the traditional approach, but the number recommended depends on your anatomy, bone and treatment needs.
Can I get teeth the same day as my All-on-4 implants?
Some qualified patients receive a temporary fixed restoration the same day, when the case allows. The implants still need to heal before the final restoration is placed.

Patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, have multiple failing teeth or want an alternative to removable dentures may be candidates, depending on their evaluation.

Implant placement and temporary teeth may be completed in one visit when the case allows, but healing and the final restoration follow. Timing varies from patient to patient.

Teeth that cannot be restored may be extracted as part of your treatment plan, and Dr. Hazan can coordinate this.
