All-on-4 Dental Implants in Summit & Westfield, NJ
Missing teeth can impact every aspect of your life, from confidence and oral health to overall well-being. If you have dentures or are looking for a solution to replace your missing teeth, All-on-4 dental implants offer a more stable, secure solution that strengthens the jawbone and looks and feels like your natural teeth. This treatment uses four small metal posts strategically implanted in the jaw to support a custom-made restoration that helps improve your smile’s functionality and appearance.

Our experienced NJ dentists, including Dr. Butensky, Dr. Bremmer, and Dr. Hosny, use state-of-the-art technology and a gentle approach to give you a brand-new smile in a way that prioritizes your health, comfort, and safety. With our personalized, comprehensive services, you get the tailored treatment you need with unwavering support from start to finish.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants and Who Should Get Them?
All-on-4 dental implants are an innovative treatment concept that uses just four dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The oral surgical procedure involves strategically placing these implants in the jawbone to provide support for an entire upper or lower set of teeth.
This revolutionary treatment is ideal for people who have lost most or all of their teeth and want a permanent, non-removable solution rather than traditional dentures.
According to the CDC, about one in 10 adults between 65 and 74 has lost all their teeth, making it a common problem that our dedicated team takes seriously. We offer several solutions to replace missing teeth, including All-on-4 dental implants. We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach at The Dental Studio, so this procedure may not be for everyone.
During your initial consultation, we look for the following qualities to ensure this treatment is right for you:
- Healthy gums
- Sufficient jawbone density
- Good oral hygiene habits
- No uncontrolled medical conditions
- Non-smoker
If you have untreated gum disease or inadequate jawbone density, we can help you address these concerns before getting your implants. Additionally, All-on-4 only requires four implants, making it a more accessible solution for those who have lost jawbone tissue.

What's the All-on-4 Process Like?
We understand getting a dental procedure can be intimidating, so we work with you from the beginning to help you know what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. While every patient is different, we generally take the following steps to ensure a stress-free experience and optimal results:
Initial Consultation
Before the dental implant procedure, we conduct a thorough examination and take X-rays to ensure dental implants are the best solution to replace missing teeth. Our caring team will go over the process with you and give you all the information you need to make the right decision for your oral health.
Procedure
If you decide to pursue All-on-4 implants, we will begin the procedure by administering general anesthesia to minimize any discomfort. Once you feel comfortable, we begin the procedure by making a small incision in the gums to access the jawbone.
Then, we create openings in the jawbone where your implants will go and use a special dental drill to carefully place the implants directly into your jawbone. When the implants are secure in your jaw, we close the incisions with stitches. Finally, we attach temporary prosthetics so you can walk out of the office with a new, confident smile.
Permanent Prosthetics
The implants need time to fuse to your healing jawbone before we can place your permanent restorations. This can take a few months. Once your jawbone has healed, you’ll return to the office to have your permanent prosthetics attached to your All-on-4 implants.
What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants?
When you’re missing an entire set of top or bottom teeth, everyday functions like chewing, speech, and digestion can feel like a chore. Replacing those missing teeth using the All-on-4 system can help dramatically improve your quality of life by offering a permanent solution with the following benefits:
Immediate Results
One of the most significant cosmetic dental advantages of All-on-4 implants is the speed of transformation. You can receive your implants and a temporary set of teeth in just one appointment. This “teeth in a day” approach means you’ll never have to go without teeth during the healing process, making it easier to speak, smile, and eat comfortably during the integration phase.
Improved Comfort and Function
All-on-4 implants provide the stability that traditional dentures simply cannot match. Because they’re anchored directly to your jawbone, there’s no slipping, sliding, or clicking when you speak or eat. This security allows you to bite and chew with confidence, even tackling foods that would be challenging with conventional dentures.
Bone Preservation
When teeth are lost, the jawbone that once supported them begins to erode through a process called resorption. This bone loss can change facial appearance, creating a sunken look that prematurely ages the face.
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that actually stimulates and preserves bone tissue. The titanium posts function like natural tooth roots, transferring bite forces to the jawbone and stimulating the regeneration of bone tissue through a process called osseointegration.
Improved Appearance and Confidence
All-on-4 implants support prosthetic teeth custom-designed to look natural and complement your facial features. The restoration is crafted from high-quality materials that mimic the translucency and color of natural teeth. Unlike removable dentures, there are no visible clasps or attachment mechanisms. With your brand-new smile and increased facial volume, you’ll feel proud to show off your smile and profile in photos and when meeting new people.
Long-Lasting Results
The beauty of All-on-4 is that it provides you with a virtually permanent solution to the problem of missing teeth. In most cases, All-on-4 implants last a lifetime, and the restoration on top of the implants can last up to 15 to 20 years with the proper care. Brushing and flossing daily and getting regular cleanings with our dedicated team at The Dental Studio ensures your implants, gums, and jaw stay strong and healthy.
