How Do All-On-4s & Snap-On Dentures Work?
All-on-4 dental implants simplify full arch rehabilitations by using four titanium screws to anchor a stable bridge. Traditional implants require one implant screw per tooth! With fewer implants than conventional methods, this solution feels closer to natural teeth than other types of dental implants.
Immediately after the procedure, we fit a temporary bridge to allow the implant to fuse to your natural bone. Once fused, we place a removable prosthetic bridge that gives you a stunning, lasting smile. At Lewis Family & Implant Dentistry, we specialize in the removable type of All-on-4s, which are sometimes called “Snap-In” or “Snap-On” dentures. They provide the same exceptional stability as non-removable All-on-4s, except they can be removed.
These are just a few of the amazing benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants:
- Look, feel, and function as natural teeth.
- Bone loss prevention through stimulation of gums.
- Offer outstanding stability as opposed to traditional dentures.
- Oftentimes more affordable than a full mouth of dental implants.
- No adhesives required.
- Improved chewing and appearance.

When deciding the right type of dental implant for you, a consultation with your dentist is an important first step.

All-on-4 Dental Implant FAQs
Check out our All-on-4 FAQs below, and if you still have questions, give us a call!
These dental implants are a great choice for individuals missing multiple teeth. Your dentist will assess if you’re an ideal candidate based on your oral health and jaw bone density. For patients missing parts of their jaw bone, or with gum issues, there may be better options than All-on-4. All-on-4 requires a strong and stable jaw bone to anchor the implants.
The main benefit of All-on-4 dental implants is that you’ll feel like you’re using your own natural teeth again. Some additional benefits include:
- Long-Term Success: Studies have shown that All-on-4 has a success rate of roughly 94% after 10 years.
- Easy Healing Process: Patients report returning to normal activities after three days.
- Improved Eating and Limited Dietary Restrictions: There are very few foods that are off-limits once your All-on-4 dental implants are installed and you’ve healed.
- Less Invasive: Unlike singular dental implants, which require one screw to be implanted per tooth, All-on-4 uses four screw implants to fasten the entire bridge.
Like any dental implant, there are potential downsides to All-On-4. Some of these may include:
- Learning to Floss: Since All-on-4 is one solid implant, the sensation of flossing can be strange for some people.
- Tenderness and Discomfort: All implants are a surgical procedure, and tenderness and discomfort come with having this done. These symptoms will go away during the healing process, but if you’re especially sensitive to pain, you might want to let your dentist know.
- Learning to Speak: Some patients report difficulty with certain words or letters. However, this usually goes away after a short adjustment period.
Many dentists specialize in cosmetic dentistry or surgical dentistry, but having All-on-4 implants installed draws on the skill sets of both. Therefore, it’s important to select a dentist experienced in surgical and cosmetic dentistry.
The dentists with Lewis Family & Implant Dentistry have over a decade of experience in implant dentistry. This is an experience you can count on.
Prices vary based on location and materials. Investing in quality care will provide you with lasting results, but research your options carefully. A dental consultation with Lewis Family & Implant Dentistry will provide you with the best financial choice based on your specific needs.
