All-on-4 treatment is an advanced dental implant solution designed to restore a full arch of teeth using a streamlined, efficient approach. By securing a complete set of teeth on just four strategically placed implants, All-on-4 offers improved stability, function, and confidence for patients seeking a long-term alternative to traditional dentures.
At Candlewood Dental Care, All-on-4 treatment planning is guided by the experience of Lorraine Burio, DMD, who has completed advanced training in implant and restorative dentistry and collaborates closely with trusted oral surgeons. With decades of experience serving the New Fairfield community, Dr. Burio provides personalized dental care focused on precision, comfort, and lasting results.
What is the All-on-4® Treatment?
All-on-4® Treatment is a revolutionary concept providing patients with fully functioning teeth on dental implants in a single procedure that takes about an hour. This technology was developed by Nobel Biocare and utilizes collaboration between both the restorative doctor and the oral surgeon. This merging of knowledge and experience not only increases safety but also enables more precise implant placement. In addition, the fabrication of a final prosthesis is completed prior to the surgery. Computer-guided implant surgery is performed arthroscopically, without requiring any flap reflection. This benefits the patient by reducing postoperative discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Patients can often resume their normal activities the next day.
All-on-4® Procedure
The process begins when a CAT scan is taken of the patient’s jaw bone. This CAT scan allows for the generation of a three-dimensional model of the jaw bone that can then be used with virtual reality software to plan the implant placement without the presence of the patient. The results are a more accurate implant placement and less chair time for the patient.
Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4?
All-on-4 treatment may be an option for individuals who are missing most or all of their teeth or who are dissatisfied with removable dentures. It is often recommended for patients seeking a more stable, natural-feeling solution without the extended treatment timelines associated with traditional implant approaches. A thorough evaluation is necessary to determine whether All-on-4 is appropriate based on oral health, bone structure, and individual treatment goals.
