All-on-4 Dental Implants in Littleton, CO

Permanent Full-Arch Restoration with Fewer Implants

All-on-4 dental implants offer a life-changing solution for patients with extensive tooth loss. Using just four strategically placed implants, this treatment supports a full arch of fixed prosthetic teeth—restoring your smile, function, and confidence with a minimally invasive procedure. At Carlson Family Dentistry & Implants, we provide All-on-4 restorations designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, helping patients regain a stable, long-term solution for severe tooth loss.

This advanced treatment is ideal for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, or those looking to transition away from removable dentures. All-on-4 is also a great option for patients with some degree of bone loss who may not qualify for traditional implants.

How All-on-4 Works

All-on-4 uses four dental implants placed at precise angles in the jawbone to maximize contact with available bone. Once the implants are secured, a full arch of prosthetic teeth is attached, either on the same day or after a brief healing period. This streamlined approach avoids the need for bone grafting in many cases and provides excellent stability.

Key advantages of All-on-4 include:

  • Immediate functionality with temporary teeth in many cases

  • Improved ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence

  • Long-lasting results with proper care

  • A fixed, non-removable solution—no more adhesives or slipping dentures

If you're missing teeth or dealing with uncomfortable dentures, we may also explore options like implant-supported dentures or individual dental implants based on your needs.

Are You a Candidate for All-on-4?

You may be a good candidate for All-on-4 if you:

  • Are missing all or most of your teeth in the upper or lower jaw

Our team uses advanced diagnostics, including cone beam imaging, to evaluate your bone structure and create a personalized treatment plan. We will guide you through every step of the process—from consultation to final restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4

  3. How long do All-on-4 implants last?: With proper care and regular dental cleanings, the implants can last decades. The prosthetic arch may eventually need replacement due to wear.

  4. Will my new teeth look natural?: Yes. The prosthetic teeth are custom-designed for a natural appearance and customized to match your facial structure and preferences.

  5. Is All-on-4 better than traditional dentures?: For many patients, yes. All-on-4 offers greater stability, no need for adhesives, and preserves jawbone health better than removable dentures.
