All-on-4 Final Result - Intraoral Close-Up
All-on-4 (and its variation All-on-X, which uses 5 or 6 implants) is a full-arch implant solution that replaces an entire row of teeth – upper, lower, or both – using a minimal number of strategically placed implants. Two implants are placed vertically at the front of the jaw; two rear implants are angled at up to 45 degrees to maximize contact with available bone and avoid critical anatomy like the sinus cavity.
This angular placement is the engineering breakthrough that makes All-on-4 work even in patients with significant bone loss – often eliminating the need for bone grafting entirely. A provisional (temporary) set of teeth is typically attached the same day as surgery, which is why the procedure is often called “same-day teeth” or “teeth in a day.”
For patients in the Memphis area who have been living with failing teeth, severe decay, or uncomfortable dentures, All-on-4 can be genuinely life-changing – transforming function, confidence, and quality of life in a single appointment.
The Procedure Step by Step
Consultation & 3D CBCT Scanning
Dr. Adatrow reviews your full medical and dental history and captures a cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan that maps your jaw in three dimensions — bone density, nerve pathways, sinus floors, and all critical anatomy. This is the foundation of every implant plan.
Virtual Treatment Planning
Using specialized software, the implant positions are planned virtually before a single incision is made. A 3D-printed surgical guide is fabricated that will physically direct the drill to the planned positions during surgery — eliminating freehand guesswork.
Surgery Day (with IV Sedation)
Any remaining failing teeth are extracted, the implants are placed through the surgical guide, and a pre-fabricated provisional bridge is secured to the implants. Most patients experience little to no memory of the procedure and leave with a full set of teeth the same day.
Healing & Osseointegration (3–6 Months)
The titanium implants fuse with the jawbone over 3–6 months — a process called osseointegration. You wear the provisional bridge throughout this phase. A soft-food diet is maintained for 6–8 weeks post-surgery.
Photogrammetry Scan
Once integration is confirmed, photogrammetry captures the exact three-dimensional position of each implant with sub-millimeter accuracy — data that is sent to the lab to fabricate your final prosthesis with a guaranteed passive fit.
Final Prosthesis Delivery
Your permanent bridge — typically fabricated from high-strength zirconia or a monolithic hybrid material — is seated, adjusted, and delivered. This is your final, lasting smile.
Pros & Considerations
Advantages
- Fixed, non-removable teeth - no adhesives, no overnight soaking
- Same-day provisional teeth in most cases
- Works with reduced bone - often no grafting required
- Restores near-natural bite force
- Halts progressive jawbone loss permanently
- Life-changing improvement in confidence and function
Considerations
- Higher upfront investment than dentures
- Soft-diet healing period of 6–8 weeks
- Cannot be whitened like natural teeth
- Requires experienced specialist for best outcomes
- 3D imaging and photogrammetry are non-negotiable for quality results

Why ChooseDr. Adatrowfor All-on-4?
All-on-4 is one of the most technically demanding procedures in dentistry. It requires both surgical mastery - to place implants at precise angulations in compromised anatomy - and prosthetic expertise, to design a bridge that fits, functions, and lasts. Dr. Adatrow's dual board certification in both Periodontics and Prosthodontics means you don't have to choose between a great surgeon and a great restorer. He is both, in one appointment, under one roof.
His Southaven center serves patients from across the greater Memphis area - including Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Cordova, Arlington, and Millington - and uses photogrammetry and in-office 3D printing as standard protocol for all full-arch cases. These are not optional upgrades; they are the baseline for predictable, long-lasting outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is All-on-4 painful?
With IV sedation — which is the standard at Dr. Adatrow's center for full-arch cases — most patients experience essentially no discomfort during the procedure and report the recovery was significantly easier than anticipated. Post-operative soreness is managed with prescribed medication and typically peaks within 48–72 hours.
Am I a candidate even with significant bone loss?
Quite possibly. All-on-4 was specifically engineered to work with reduced bone volume. The angled rear implants access denser bone deeper in the jaw, often avoiding the need for grafting. A 3D CBCT scan will give Dr. Adatrow definitive information about your anatomy and candidacy.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
The implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. The prosthetic bridge typically lasts 15–25 years depending on material (zirconia lasts longer than acrylic) and oral hygiene. With proper maintenance visits, many patients keep their full-arch restoration for decades.
Does insurance cover All-on-4?
Standard dental insurance typically offers limited coverage. Some medical insurance plans may contribute when tooth loss is related to a medical condition. Flexible financing through CareCredit and similar programs is widely available to make monthly payments manageable.
