Losing multiple teeth doesn’t just affect the way you eat or speak—it can deeply impact your confidence and overall well-being. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a comfortable, stable, and long-lasting solution. At Sweet Water Dentistry in Fairhope, AL, Dr. Phillip Greer and his team proudly offer All-on-4 dental implants to help patients in Pointclear, Houstonville, and surrounding communities regain their full smiles with ease and comfort.
This innovative treatment has changed the lives of thousands, providing a complete, natural-looking set of teeth with fewer implants, minimal surgery, and a faster recovery time.
Why Choose All-on-4?
1. Fewer Implants, Stronger Support
Unlike traditional methods that require 6–8 implants per arch, All-on-4 uses just four strategically placed implants to anchor a full arch of teeth. This reduces surgical complexity and makes the procedure more accessible for many patients.
2. Faster Results
In many cases, patients can leave the office with a set of temporary teeth attached to the implants on the same day. You don’t have to wait months to smile, eat, or speak comfortably.
3. Cost-Effective Solution
Because fewer implants and surgeries are required, All-on-4 is often more affordable than traditional full-mouth restorations—without compromising durability or appearance.
4. Avoid Bone Grafting
All-on-4 implants are angled in a way that makes use of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafts. This reduces healing time and simplifies the treatment for patients with bone loss.
5. Natural Look and Feel
The fixed prosthesis is custom-made to match your facial features and aesthetic preferences. You’ll get teeth that look and feel real, restoring your confidence to eat, speak, and smile naturally.
Types of All-on-4 Options
Not all All-on-4 treatments are the same. Depending on your goals, preferences, and budget, there are a few different types of prosthetics that can be attached to your implants:
-
Acrylic Prosthesis with Titanium FrameThis is the most commonly used option. It features a titanium base for strength and acrylic teeth and gums for a natural look. It’s cost-effective and reliable.
-
Monolithic Zirconia ProsthesisFor those looking for a premium option, zirconia provides superior strength, resistance to staining, and exceptional aesthetics. It’s a long-lasting material with a polished, lifelike appearance.
-
Custom Hybrid OptionsThese may include titanium or zirconia frameworks with porcelain or resin teeth, and custom-colored gum material for a natural finish. They are tailored for optimal function and beauty.
What Are All-on-4 Implants Made Of?
The implant posts themselves are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material widely used in medicine. Titanium fuses well with the bone, providing long-term stability. It’s lightweight, durable, and does not trigger allergic reactions in most patients.
In some cases, zirconia implants may be used. Zirconia is a ceramic material that is also biocompatible, metal-free, and resistant to corrosion. It’s often chosen for patients with metal sensitivities or specific cosmetic preferences.
The prosthetic teeth—the visible part of the restoration—can be crafted from:
-
Acrylic Resin – affordable and commonly used
-
Porcelain – durable and very aesthetic
-
Zirconia – premium strength and beauty
Our team at Sweet Water Dentistry will help you choose the best materials for your specific needs, goals, and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is the All-on-4 procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Afterward, most patients experience only mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed medication.
2. How long is the recovery time?
You can usually return to daily activities within a few days. The implants take 3–6 months to fully fuse with the bone, but temporary teeth allow you to function normally during healing.
3. Can I eat regular food with All-on-4 implants?
Yes! After an initial soft-food diet, you’ll be able to enjoy most of your favorite foods again—without worry about slipping dentures or chewing discomfort.
4. Will my teeth look natural?
Absolutely. The prosthesis is designed to match your facial features, smile line, and personal style, so you get a natural-looking, beautiful smile.
5. How long will my All-on-4 implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, the implants can last a lifetime. The prosthetic teeth may need replacement after several years, depending on wear and care.
