All-on-4 Dental Implants in Gibsonia & Pittsburgh, PA
A Stable, Same-Day Smile Solution for Full-Arch Tooth Loss
Missing a full row of teeth can make daily life more difficult than it should be—but with All-on-4 dental implants, patients at Chips Dental Associates can reclaim the comfort, appearance, and function of a natural smile. This streamlined solution uses just four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of non-removable teeth—often completed in a single day.
Our implant dentists in Gibsonia and Pittsburgh, PA have extensive experience delivering All-on-4 treatment, helping patients with significant tooth loss restore confidence and oral function without the hassle of removable dentures.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is a modern full-mouth restoration technique that replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth using only four dental implants as anchors. Once placed, these implants support a custom-designed, fixed denture that looks and functions like real teeth.
The unique design allows patients who may not qualify for traditional implants due to bone loss to receive treatment without extensive grafting, thanks to the strategic angling of the rear implants.
This system is ideal for patients who:
- Are missing most or all of their teeth in one arch
- Are frustrated with loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Want a permanent alternative to removable prosthetics

Benefits of the All-on-4 System
Patients choose All-on-4 for its convenience, durability, and life-changing impact. Key advantages include:
- Fixed teeth in one day—many patients leave with a temporary full-arch prosthetic the same day as surgery
- No adhesives or removal—the restoration stays securely in place at all times
- Preservation of jawbone—implants stimulate the bone, reducing resorption
- Improved diet and speech—enjoy greater biting power and clarity in communication
- Cost-effective—fewer implants reduce surgery time and overall expense compared to individual implants
Unlike traditional full dentures, the All-on-4 system gives you the freedom to eat, smile, and speak without worry.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4
Is All-on-4 right for me if I’ve worn dentures for years?
Yes. Many patients who’ve experienced jawbone loss due to long-term denture wear still qualify for All-on-4 due to the angled implant placement.
How long does the procedure take?
The surgical portion of All-on-4 typically takes a few hours, and many patients receive their temporary prosthetic the same day.
Is the All-on-4 system removable?
No. The restoration is fixed in place and only removable by your dentist. It feels and functions much like natural teeth.
What’s the difference between All-on-4 and traditional implants?
Traditional implants often require one post per tooth and can involve bone grafting. All-on-4 uses only four implants per arch and is designed to maximize available bone.
Does insurance cover All-on-4?
Coverage varies, but we’ll help you navigate your insurance benefits. Financing options are also available—see our patient info page for details.
