A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
If you're struggling with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures, All-On-4 dental implants offer a life-changing, permanent solution. This innovative procedure restores an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants, providing a secure, natural-looking smile without the hassle of traditional dentures.
At Dunson Dental Design, Dr. Bernee Dunson specializes in All-On-4 implants in Atlanta, GA, offering patients a long-lasting, comfortable alternative to dentures. With extensive experience in implant dentistry, Dr. Dunson provides expert care and cutting-edge techniques to ensure exceptional results.
What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?
The All-On-4® implant system is a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses four strategically placed dental implants to support a custom set of teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and can shift or cause discomfort, All-On-4 implants are securely anchored in the jawbone, providing a strong, natural-feeling bite.
Key Benefits of All-On-4 Implants:
- Permanent & Secure – No slipping, shifting, or adhesives like traditional dentures.
- Immediate Function – Walk out with a brand-new smile the same day as your procedure.
- Prevents Bone Loss – Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing deterioration.
- Natural Look & Feel – Designed to look, feel, and function like real teeth.
- Easier Maintenance – No need for removal or special adhesives—just brush and floss like natural teeth.
Who Is a Candidate for All-On-4 Implants?
You may be a great candidate for All-On-4 dental implants if you:
- Have multiple missing or failing teeth in one or both arches
- Currently wear dentures but want a more permanent, comfortable alternative
- Have sufficient jawbone density for implant placement (or are willing to undergo bone grafting if needed)
- Want a fixed, long-term solution instead of removable dentures

The All-On-4 Implant Process
At Dunson Dental Design, we use state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise implant placement and outstanding results. The All-On-4 procedure is typically completed in one day, with follow-up visits for final adjustments.
Consultation & 3D Imaging
- A comprehensive oral exam & digital X-rays help determine if you're a candidate for All-On-4 implants.
- We use cone beam CT scans to map out precise implant placement.
Implant Placement Surgery
- Four titanium dental implants are strategically placed in the jaw.
- Two implants are placed at an angle to maximize bone contact and stability.
- Temporary teeth are attached the same day, so you leave with a full smile.
Healing & Osseointegration
- Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation.
Final Restoration Placement
- Once healing is complete, a permanent, custom-designed set of teeth is placed, giving you a natural-looking, functional smile.
How Do All-On-4 Implants Compare to Traditional Dentures?
Many patients choose All-On-4 implants over traditional dentures for greater comfort and convenience. Here’s why:
- Stability – All-On-4 implants are fixed in place and won’t slip or move, unlike dentures, which may shift while eating or speaking.
- Jawbone Health – Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss, whereas dentures do not support bone health and can contribute to facial sagging.
- Bite Strength – With All-On-4 implants, you can eat a wider variety of foods. Traditional dentures limit what you can chew comfortably.
- Comfort – All-On-4 eliminates gum irritation and discomfort caused by dentures.
- Longevity – All-On-4 implants are designed to last for decades, while dentures may require frequent adjustments or replacements.
If you’re tired of loose dentures or struggling with tooth loss, All-On-4 implants provide a permanent, worry-free solution.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients experience only mild discomfort after implant placement, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Swelling and minor bruising are common for the first few days.
Post-Surgery Care:
- Eat soft foods for the first few weeks (soups, yogurt, mashed potatoes).
- Avoid smoking or drinking through straws, which can disrupt healing.
- Practice excellent oral hygiene—regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups help maintain implant health.
With proper care, All-On-4 implants can last a lifetime!
