Restore your complete smile in just one day — regain confidence with a permanent solution that looks and functions like natural teeth.
Are you tired of dealing with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures? All on 4 dental implants at Pharr Road Dentistry offer a revolutionary solution for patients seeking to replace a full arch of teeth with a permanent, natural-looking alternative. Our skilled implant team in Atlanta delivers life-changing results using advanced techniques that require fewer implants and less recovery time than traditional methods.
All on 4 dental implants represent a groundbreaking approach to full-arch tooth replacement. This innovative technique uses just four strategically placed dental implants to support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth. Unlike traditional methods that might require 6-8 implants per arch, the All on 4 technique maximizes the use of available bone by placing the posterior implants at an angle, eliminating the need for bone grafting in many cases.
The “All on 4” name comes from the concept of supporting all replacement teeth on just four implants. These titanium posts are surgically placed into your jawbone, creating a strong foundation for a fixed prosthetic bridge that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Most remarkably, this technique often allows patients to receive a temporary set of functional teeth the same day as their implant surgery – truly earning the nickname “Teeth in a Day.”
What sets All on 4 apart from removable dentures is that the implants stimulate and preserve your jawbone, preventing the bone deterioration and facial collapse that typically occurs with traditional dentures. This preservation maintains your facial structure and creates a more youthful appearance while providing exceptional stability for eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence.
Your All on 4 journey begins with a thorough consultation at our Buckhead office. During this visit, we’ll evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and take detailed 3D scans of your jaw structure. Using this information, our implant team develops a precise, personalized treatment plan. We take the time to explain every aspect of the procedure, answer your questions, and discuss financing options to ensure you feel completely comfortable moving forward. This careful planning stage is crucial for achieving optimal results and a smooth treatment experience.
On your procedure day, you’ll arrive at our comfortable Atlanta office where we’ll ensure you’re relaxed using appropriate sedation. Our skilled implant team will place the four implants according to your custom surgical plan, strategically positioning them to maximize stability and support. Immediately following implant placement, we’ll attach a temporary fixed bridge that’s been precisely crafted to fit your new implants. You’ll leave our office the same day with a functional, natural-looking set of teeth – a dramatic transformation in just one appointment.
Over the next 3-6 months, your implants will integrate with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. During this healing period, you’ll follow specific care instructions and enjoy your temporary teeth while gradually returning to a normal diet. Our team will monitor your progress with periodic check-ups to ensure proper healing. Once your implants are fully integrated, we’ll take final impressions and work with our premium dental laboratory to create your permanent restoration. This final prosthesis will offer superior aesthetics, comfort, and durability, completing your smile transformation.
Your relationship with Pharr Road Dentistry continues long after your final restoration is placed. We’ll provide detailed instructions for caring for your All on 4 implants and schedule regular maintenance visits to ensure the longevity of your investment. With proper care, your All on 4 implants can last for decades or even a lifetime. Our team remains available to address any questions or concerns that arise, supporting your ongoing oral health and helping you enjoy the full benefits of your new smile for years to come.

All-on-4 is an excellent solution for patients from many walks of life, especially those who have serious tooth loss, advanced tooth decay, or bone loss. However, additional factors also need to be evaluated before declaring that a patient is a good fit for All-on-4.
The only way to be certain someone is a good candidate for All-on-4 is to get a complete evaluation from a qualified provider, such as one from Pharr Road. However, the following statements may describe patients who would be good candidates for All-on-4:
Some patients may not meet all of the necessary requirements right now, but there are some steps you may be able to take to improve your odds of eligibility. For example, being open to bone grafting, treatment of gum disease, and addressing decay and abscesses may allow patients to get All-on-4 later down the line. We encourage you to speak with your dental providers to learn more about your next steps and requirements.
All on 4 implants allow you to leave our Atlanta office with fixed, functional teeth on the same day as your implant surgery. This eliminates the embarrassment and inconvenience of being without teeth during the healing process. Your temporary restoration looks natural and provides immediate improvement in appearance, speech, and basic chewing function while your permanent prosthesis is being crafted. This “Teeth in a Day” approach minimizes disruption to your daily life and allows you to start enjoying the benefits of implants right away.
When teeth are lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. All on 4 dental implants function similarly to natural tooth roots, providing the necessary stimulation to maintain bone density and prevent facial collapse. This preservation is critical not only for the long-term success of your implants but also for maintaining your facial appearance and preventing the prematurely aged look often associated with traditional dentures. By choosing All on 4 implants, you’re investing in both your oral health and your facial aesthetics for years to come.
Compared to traditional implant methods, the All on 4 technique significantly reduces treatment time and complexity. By using just four strategically positioned implants, the procedure eliminates or minimizes the need for bone grafting in most cases, even for patients who have experienced bone loss. This means fewer surgical procedures, shorter healing times, and reduced overall treatment cost. For many patients with bone loss who were previously told they weren’t candidates for implants, All on 4 provides a viable solution that can be completed in a fraction of the time.
Perhaps the most significant benefit of All on 4 implants is the dramatic improvement in quality of life. Unlike removable dentures, your All on 4 restoration stays permanently in place, allowing you to eat virtually any food without restrictions or embarrassment. You’ll never need messy adhesives or worry about your teeth slipping while speaking. Patients consistently report increased confidence in social situations, improved nutrition due to better chewing ability, and an overall sense of freedom that comes with having teeth that feel and function like natural ones. This restoration of normal function and confidence can truly be transformative.
