Introduction
For decades, replacing an entire arch of missing teeth required dozens of surgeries, significant bone grafting, and as many as 8 to 10 implants per jaw. This made full-mouth restoration expensive, painful, and time-consuming. All-on-4 Dental Implants changed everything. This revolutionary technique allows for a full, permanent bridge to be supported by just four strategically placed implants, often in a single visit.
At Indira Dental Clinic, led by Dr. Rockson Samuel, we are pioneers in All-on-4 technology in Vellore. We merge surgical mastery with digital engineering to provide our patients with immediate, life-changing results.
What is All-on-4?
Developed by Nobel Biocare, the All-on-4 treatment concept is a clinically proven method for providing patients with a non-removable, full-arch prosthesis on the same day as surgery. It is designed for patients who have lost all of their teeth (edentulous) or those who have failing teeth that cannot be saved.
The Science of Tilting: Why 4 Implants are Enough
The secret to All-on-4 lies in the orientation of the implants:
- Vertical Front Implants: Two implants are placed vertically in the anterior bone.
- Tilted Back Implants: Two back implants are placed at an angle (up to 45 degrees).
By tilting the back implants, we can anchor them in denser part of the jawbone and avoid critical structures like the sinus cavity and the jaw nerve. This creates a powerful "tripod" effect, providing rock-solid stability for a full arch of 12-14 teeth.
Top 5 Benefits of the All-on-4 Technique
- Immediate Results (Teeth in a Day): Most patients walk out with a fixed, functional temporary bridge on the same day as their surgery.
- Graftless Solution: By using the available bone, 95% of patients bypass the need for expensive bone grafting.
- Natural Facial Structure: Supporting your lips and cheeks, instantly reversing the "sunken" look of tooth loss.
- Permanent Fixed Teeth: Your new teeth don't come out; you brush them just like your natural ones.
- Efficiency & Cost: Fewer clinical visits and fewer implants mean a faster, more cost-effective rehabilitation.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for 'Teeth-in-a-Day'?
All-on-4 is the perfect solution for:
- Patients currently wearing traditional removable dentures.
- People with terminal dentition (teeth that are failing and need extraction).
- Those who have been told they have "insufficient bone" for traditional implants.
- Anyone looking for a permanent, fixed solution rather than a bridge or partial.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is All-on-4 really better than dentures?
Absolutely! While dentures restore 20-30% of your biting force, All-on-4 restores 90-100%, allowing you to eat anything you want with zero fear of slipping.
How do I clean my new teeth?
Exactly like natural teeth! Regular brushing and using a water flosser to clean under the bridge ensures your gums stay healthy for a lifetime.
What is the success rate?
The All-on-4 technique has a clinically documented success rate of over 98% over 10 years when performed by a specialist.
Can I have this if I have bone loss?
Yes. The All-on-4 technique was specifically designed for patients with bone loss. By tilting the implants, we use the best available bone, often bypassing the need for bone grafting.
How long does the procedure take?
The surgical placement of 4 implants typically takes 1 to 2 hours per arch. The digital design and fitting of the temporary teeth happen within the same day or the next morning.
