What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Getting back a complete, natural-looking smile can be life-changing. All-on-4 dental implants offer a lasting solution for people missing most or all of their teeth. If you've experienced trouble with dentures or worry about ongoing tooth loss, All-on-4 dental implants at 5 Star Dental Group could be the answer. All-on-4 dental implants are designed to support a full arch of teeth with only four implants, helping patients regain a complete and functional smile. This method is ideal for those who have lost multiple teeth or currently wear removable dentures. Unlike individual dental implants for each tooth, All-on-4 technology uses four specially placed implants to anchor a full arch of teeth securely. Reach out to our San Antonio, TX team to schedule a consultation.
What Should I Expect from All-on-4 Dental Implants?
During an initial consultation, our dental team will assess your oral health, review your goals, and determine if All-on-4 is right for you. The process typically begins with a detailed examination, which may include x-rays or a CT scan to evaluate bone structure and ensure the best implant placement. If you are a candidate, the All-on-4 procedure can be completed in one day, often referred to as "teeth in a day." This procedure involves removing any damaged teeth, preparing the gums, and placing four implants to support a temporary set of teeth. While it may take a few months for the implants to fully integrate with the jawbone, a more permanent set of teeth will be crafted and placed once healing is complete. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during recovery and can manage any soreness with over-the-counter pain relievers.
What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants?
An excellent alternative to traditional dentures, All-on-4 dental implants at 5 Star Dental Group in San Antonio, TX offer a range of advantages that go beyond a beautiful smile, such as:

- Allows patients to regain full chewing ability

- Gives the opportunity to obtain fully functional teeth in a smaller timespan

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get used to eating with All-on-4 dental implants?
Adjusting to All-on-4 implants can take a few weeks, but most patients find the transition smoother than they expected. We recommend sticking with soft foods in the beginning as your mouth heals and adapts. As your comfort level grows, you may gradually be able to enjoy a wider range of foods. Over time, your implants will feel more like your natural teeth, and eating will become second nature again.
Will people be able to tell that I have All-on-4 implants?
It's highly unlikely anyone will notice — unless you tell them. All-on-4 implants are custom-crafted to look incredibly natural. The shape, size, and color of your new teeth are tailored to match your face and smile. Most patients feel a boost in confidence because their smile looks so seamless and well-proportioned.
Can I speak normally with All-on-4 dental implants?
You might notice a slight difference in how your mouth feels when you talk right after getting your implants. That's totally normal. It just takes a little practice. In most cases, people adjust very quickly and regain clear, confident speech within a short time. Some even find that their speech improves compared to when they were wearing dentures.
