Restore a full arch of teeth with just four implants — a life-changing solution that delivers a permanent, natural-looking smile.
All-on-4 restoration in Plantation offers patients who are missing all or most of their teeth a complete, permanent smile supported by just four strategically placed dental implants. This innovative approach eliminates the need for traditional dentures and provides a fixed, full-arch restoration that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
At Sapphire Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, Dr. Yash Desai is trained in advanced implant surgery techniques that make All-on-4 possible even for patients who have experienced significant bone loss. If you have been told in the past that you are not a candidate for implants, All-on-4 may still be an option for you.
All-on-4 uses four implant posts placed at precise angles in the jawbone to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. The angled placement of the back implants allows for maximum bone contact, often making bone grafting unnecessary. The result is a full smile that is permanently secured and requires no removal.
Full Smile in a Single Treatment Phase
All-on-4 dramatically reduces the time and number of procedures needed to restore a full arch compared to placing individual implants for every tooth.
No More Removable Dentures
All-on-4 is a fixed restoration. It does not come out at night, does not require adhesive, and will not shift or slip when you eat or speak.
Works with Reduced Bone Volume
The angled implant design maximizes contact with available bone, making All-on-4 a viable option for many patients with bone loss who cannot support traditional implants.
Preserves Remaining Bone
The implant posts stimulate the jawbone, slowing or stopping the bone deterioration that accelerates with tooth loss.
Restores Confidence Completely
Patients consistently report that All-on-4 transforms their quality of life, restoring the ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and smile without self-consciousness.
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
Dr. Desai will evaluate your bone density, gum health, and overall oral health to determine if you are a good candidate for implants. We use advanced imaging to plan your procedure with precision.
Step 2: Implant Placement
The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. Sedation options are available for added ease.
Step 3: Healing and Integration
Over the next several months, the implant fuses with your bone through a natural process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation for your final restoration.
Step 4: Crown Placement
Once fully healed, a custom-designed crown is attached to the implant. Dr. Desai coordinates with your restorative dentist to ensure a seamless final result.
Step 5: Ongoing Care
Implants are cared for just like natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and periodontal maintenance appointments keep your implant healthy for years to come.

Possibly, yes. One of the main advantages of All-on-4 is that the angled implant placement makes it accessible for patients with reduced bone density. Dr. Desai will evaluate your specific anatomy and let you know whether All-on-4 is right for you.
The implants are a permanent fixture in your jawbone. The prosthetic arch attached to the implants is designed for long-term use and, with proper care, can last many years before needing any maintenance.
Most patients take a few days to a week off from normal activity following surgery. Swelling and soreness are normal and manageable. Dr. Desai will give you detailed post-operative instructions to make recovery as smooth as possible.
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and can shift, cause sore spots, and require adhesive. All-on-4 is anchored to the jawbone, functions like natural teeth, and requires no removal or adhesive.
Daily brushing with a soft-bristle toothbrush and flossing with specialized tools is important. Regular periodontal maintenance visits at Sapphire Periodontics will keep both the gums and implants healthy.
