All-on-4 Dental Implants
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants is a treatment plan that can support a full denture on just four implants. Like traditional implants, All-on-4 implants replace tooth roots in the jawbone, but they are placed strategically to maximize support from your bone tissue. You can receive All-on-4 for both your upper and lower arches, if necessary.
Our dental office usually places implants made from titanium, a durable and time-tested material. We use implants crafted by brands like Nobel Biocare, Zimmer, and Straumann®.
Restore Your Smile Without Extensive Dental Work
Implant-supported dentures are recognized as the best way to restore a full arch of teeth, but some patients may not qualify for the procedure. At Redlands Family Dentistry, our dentists are proud to offer All-on-4 dental implants so patients can qualify for treatment and reap the benefits of implant-supported dentures.

"I've been seeing Dr. Hoffer for over 7 years and I say without a doubt that he's the best dentist I've ever had. He's friendly and personable, easy to talk to, always efficient, and clearly skilled. From simple checkups and cleaning to fillings, caps, root canals, implants and more, Dr. Hoffer and his team provide the best. Though I moved away from Redlands a few years ago, I still make the regular trips to him and his practice because I'm very happy with the care I recieve..." Steve H., 5-Star Review
Determining if All-on-4 Is Right for You
During your consultation, our dentists will perform an examination of your mouth and inquire about your medical history to determine your candidacy for All-on-4 dental implants.
Tooth Loss
If you are missing all of your teeth on one or both of your dental arches or need to have a remaining tooth (or teeth) extracted, you may be a good candidate for All-on-4. Our dentists can sometimes extract a damaged tooth and place dental implants in the same visit.
Less extensive tooth loss may make you a better candidate for crowns, bridges, or partial dentures instead.
Bone Recession
All-on-4 dental implants are strategically placed in your jawbone so they maximize the use of the available bone mass. This makes them the best restorative option for patients who require dentures but don't have enough bone mass to support traditional dental implants without a preparatory bone grafting procedure.
Our dentists will first determine how much bone density you have because low bone density can increase the risk of implant failure.
Overall Health
Those who want to undergo any kind of surgery must be in good overall health to reduce the risk of complications and to help ensure their procedure and recovery can go smoothly. Additionally, patients should not use nicotine products so they can heal properly after surgery.

Caring for All-on-4
Once you've received your All-on-4 dental implants and denture, you can care for them by doing a few simple things:
Like natural teeth, your new dental work should be brushed twice each day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and flossed once each day.
Regular checkups with our Redlands dentists can help ensure that your mouth remains healthy enough to support your titanium implants and dentures.
