All-on-4 dental implants are becoming the optimal solution for people who have lost all teeth in an arch, offering fast and highly effective dental restoration. With this method, patients can restore a full arch of teeth with just 4 implants instead of multiple traditional implants. Let’s explore the details of the All-on-4 implant method in the article below.

What is the All-on-4 Implant Method?
All-on-4 is one of the most advanced dental restoration techniques today, offering an optimal solution for patients who have lost all teeth in one arch. This technology was developed by Nobel Biocare – a famous German brand in the field of implant manufacturing.
The All-on-4 method uses only 4 implants inserted into the jawbone to support a full set of teeth. Instead of placing implants for each missing tooth, only 4 implants are used, strategically positioned to ensure optimal support for 10 to 12 prosthetic teeth. These implants are placed at specific angles (with multi-unit abutments) to maximize contact with bone tissue. With just 4 implants, patients can regain the function and aesthetics of 10–12 teeth in each arch.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
Dental Implant offer numerous outstanding advantages for individuals with complete tooth loss in one arch, improving quality of life and overall health. Below are the key benefits of this implant technique:
- Reduced number of implants and minimized invasiveness:With All-on-4, only four implants are placed into the jawbone to restore an entire dental arch, helping reduce surgical invasiveness and discomfort compared to traditional full-mouth implants.
- Prevents bone resorption:When teeth are lost and not replaced, the jawbone gradually resorbs, altering facial structure and causing a sunken appearance. All-on-4 allows for implants to be placed at strategic angles to restore chewing function and prevent bone loss. Over time, bone quality is preserved, helping maintain a more youthful and natural facial appearance.
- Restores chewing function like natural teeth:This technique allows patients to regain natural chewing ability, making it easier to eat and speak comfortably. Restoring chewing function also helps reduce risks related to digestive issues and poor nutrition.
- High Aesthetic Appeal:All-on-4 provides stable support for full-arch restorations with natural-looking shape and color that enhances facial aesthetics without distortion.
- Long lifespan:With proper care and oral hygiene, All-on-4 implants can last up to 20 years or even a lifetime. This is a major advantage compared to traditional removable dentures, which usually last around 3–5 years.
Who is a suitable candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 implant restoration is particularly appropriate for the following groups:
- People with complete tooth loss:Restores both upper and lower arches for individuals missing all teeth.
- Those with insufficient bone for multiple implants:All-on-4 minimizes the need for extensive bone volume and surgical procedures.
- People who want fixed teeth instead of removable dentures:Provides greater comfort and chewing ability like real teeth.
- Patients with chronic periodontitis:Allows for full-arch rehabilitation after tooth loss due to gum disease.

All-on-4 Implant Procedure
The All-on-4 implant procedure should be performed in the following six steps to ensure optimal results:
Step 1: Detailed consultation on treatment plan and estimated cost
During the consultation, the dentist will explain the process, treatment stages, estimated time, and costs. Patients will receive information about the procedure, expected outcomes, and suitability for this technique.
Step 2: Comprehensive examination and 3D CT scan
The patient will undergo a full-mouth evaluation to assess oral health. The dentist will perform a 3D CT scan to examine jawbone structure, bone density, and determine the optimal implant placement. Based on this data, the dentist will develop a precise implant plan to ensure safety and accuracy.
Step 3: Perform implant surgery
Once a clear treatment plan is in place, the dentist will proceed with surgery to place four dental implants into the jawbone at predetermined positions. Two implants will be placed vertically at the front, while the other two will be inserted at an angle in the back. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring the patient does not experience pain or discomfort and the process is quick.

Step 4: Taking dental impressions and placing temporary teeth
Approximately 3–5 days after surgery, once the surgical site has healed, the dentist will take impressions to fabricate suitable temporary teeth. At the same time, the patient will have temporary prosthetic teeth placed to restore chewing function and aesthetics during the waiting period while the implants integrate with the bone.
Step 5: Follow-up check and post-implant evaluation
Around days 7–10, the patient returns for a follow-up to evaluate wound healing and implant integration with the jawbone. The dentist will continue to monitor the healing progress and address any potential complications like infection or implant rejection.
Step 6: Attaching the permanent prosthesis onto the implants
After 3–6 months, once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, the dentist will proceed to attach the final fixed prosthetic teeth onto the implants. These permanent teeth are designed to match the patient’s natural bite and color, delivering long-lasting results while restoring both function and aesthetics.
Cost of All-on-4 Dental Implants
The cost of All-on-4 dental implants typically ranges from 100 to 300 million VND per arch. This depends on the clinic, materials used, and the patient’s oral health condition, including bone and gum health. In some cases, patients may need additional treatments such as bone grafting, which can increase the overall cost. For a specific quote, patients should visit a reputable dental clinic for a personalized consultation.

All-on-4 dental implants are the optimal solution for individuals experiencing severe tooth loss or complete edentulism. This method not only offers excellent chewing function but also enhances aesthetics and supports long-term jawbone health.
