CTX Oral Surgery and Dental Implants
Permanent Full-Arch Tooth Replacement by Oral Surgeons
All-On-4 dental implants are a permanent solution for patients missing most or all of their teeth. This advanced implant technique uses four strategically placed dental implants to support a full arch of fixed, natural-looking replacement teeth, restoring function, appearance, and confidence.
At CTX Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, All-On-4 implant placement is performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons, using advanced 3D imaging and fully digital planning for precise, predictable outcomes.
What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?
All-On-4 dental implants are a type of full-arch dental implant restoration designed to replace an entire upper or lower set of teeth using just four implants. These implants are anchored securely into the jawbone and support a fixed prosthetic arch that does not need to be removed.
All-On-4 implants are commonly chosen by patients who:
- Have lost most or all of their teeth
- Are unhappy with removable dentures
- Have experienced jawbone loss
- Want a long-term, non-removable solution
Unlike traditional dentures, All-On-4 implants help preserve jawbone structure and allow patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

How the All-On-4 Dental Implant Procedure Works
1) Comprehensive Evaluation
A full medical and dental review is completed using CBCT imaging and digital scans to assess bone quality and anatomy.
2) Implant Surgery
Four dental implants are placed strategically in the jaw. If extractions are needed, they are often performed during the same visit. Sedation options are available.
3) Healing & Integration
The implants integrate with the jawbone over several months through a process called osseointegration.
4) Final Prosthetic Teeth
Your restorative dentist places the permanent, fixed prosthetic teeth designed for long-term function and aesthetics.
Are You a Candidate for All-On-4 Dental Implants?
Most adults missing multiple teeth or wearing dentures are candidates for All-On-4 dental implants. Even patients with bone loss may qualify due to the angled placement of the implants, which often eliminates the need for bone grafting.
A consultation and 3D evaluation are required to confirm candidacy.
