All-on-4 Dental Implants
in Phoenix, AZ
All-on-4 replaces every tooth in an arch with a fixed bridge on four implants. The back implants are angled into stronger bone, so it often works even after years of bone loss under a denture. Dr. Taylor Field restores full arches at Sonoran Dental Arts in Phoenix and quotes the whole sequence in writing after an exam. Call (602) 861-0505.
All-on-4 replaces every tooth in an upper or lower arch with one fixed bridge held by four implants. Dr. Taylor Field restores full arches at Sonoran Dental Arts in Phoenix, and the whole sequence is quoted in writing before anything starts.
The back two implants are placed at an angle to use the bone you still have, which is why All-on-4 often works for patients who were told they had lost too much bone for implants.

What All-on-4 Is
All-on-4 is a full arch of fixed replacement teeth carried by four implants. The two front implants go in straight. The two back implants are tilted, usually up to 45 degrees, so they anchor in the denser bone toward the front of the jaw. The bridge screws onto the implants and stays in your mouth: you clean it there, and it comes off only at the dental office.
Who It Helps
Most of the patients who ask about All-on-4 are either losing a full set of failing teeth or already wearing a denture that will not stay put. A mouth of teeth that are loose or repeatedly infected can cost more to patch one tooth at a time than to replace as an arch, and a full denture that rocks when you chew is the other common starting point.
Bone loss is usually not the obstacle people expect. The angled back implants exist to reach bone that a straight implant cannot, so years under a denture do not rule you out on their own. The exam and the 3D image settle it.
All-on-4, All-on-6, and Snap-In Dentures
All-on-6 is the same fixed bridge on six implants instead of four. The extra implants spread the chewing load and can make sense when the bone is plentiful, and they add surgical and parts cost. A snap-in denture, also called an implant-retained denture, is different in kind: it clips onto two to four implants, comes out every night for cleaning, and costs less than a fixed arch. It holds far better than a suction denture and still rests partly on the gums.
The full-mouth dental implants page puts all of these side by side, along with conventional dentures.
Teeth in a Day
Most All-on-4 cases are loaded the same day: any failing teeth come out, the four implants go in, and a temporary fixed arch is attached before you leave. You go home with teeth, not with a gap. The temporary arch is deliberately lighter than the final one, and you eat soft food while the implants fuse with the bone. After roughly three to six months of healing, the final arch is made and fitted.
Surgery and Recovery
The surgery is done under local anesthetic, and sedation is available for patients who want it; the sedation dentistry page covers the options. Expect swelling and soreness for the first several days, which most patients manage with over-the-counter pain relievers. The soft-food period is the real commitment: the implants need months without heavy chewing to fuse, so that instruction is the one to take seriously.
What If an Implant Fails?
A small share of implants never fuse with the bone. When that happens, the implant is removed and the site heals. What comes next depends on which implant it was: sometimes the bridge is adjusted while a replacement integrates, sometimes the new implant goes in first. Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes raise the risk, and Dr. Field goes through your health history before recommending the procedure for that reason.
How to Choose a Provider
Ask who places the implants, who makes the arch, and how often the office treats full-arch cases. Read the reviews written by full-arch patients, since a review about a cleaning says little about arch work. Then ask what the quoted price covers: extractions, any grafting, the temporary arch, the final arch, and sedation are bundled at some offices and billed separately at others, and two quotes only compare once you know what each one includes.
At Sonoran Dental Arts, Dr. Field puts the whole sequence in one written quote after the exam, and nothing starts before you have agreed to it. The All-on-4 cost page goes through the money side in detail.

Common questions
What is All-on-4?
A full arch of fixed replacement teeth held by four implants. The back two are angled into stronger bone, and the bridge stays in your mouth rather than coming out at night.
Can I get All-on-4 if I have bone loss?
Often, yes. The angled placement was designed to work around bone loss, and many All-on-4 patients were once told they could not have implants. A 3D image of your jaw gives the real answer.
Do I really get teeth the same day?
In most cases, yes. A temporary fixed arch is attached the day the implants are placed, and the final arch is made after the implants have fused, usually three to six months later.
How is All-on-4 different from a snap-in denture?
All-on-4 is fixed and stays in your mouth. A snap-in denture clips onto fewer implants, comes out nightly for cleaning, and costs less.
What happens if one of the four implants fails?
The implant is removed and the site heals. Depending on which implant it was, the bridge is adjusted while a replacement integrates or the new implant goes in first.
How much does All-on-4 cost in Phoenix?
It is priced per arch, and the figure depends on extractions, grafting, the arch materials, and sedation. Sonoran Dental Arts does not advertise a flat arch price. Dr. Field quotes your whole sequence in writing after an exam.
