If you’re dealing with missing teeth or struggling with uncomfortable dentures, you may wonder if there’s a better solution. At Lobb Dental in Edmonton, Dr. Lobb offers a transformative treatment called All-on-Four dental implants — a long-lasting, stable option that can restore your smile in just one day.
In this blog, we’ll explain all-on-four implants, how they work, and why they’re becoming one of the most popular full-mouth restoration procedures today.
What Are All-on-Four Dental Implants?
All-on-four is a full-arch restoration technique that uses four strategically placed dental implants to support a full set of replacement teeth—usually in the upper or lower jaw or both. Unlike traditional implants, which often require one implant per tooth or extensive bone grafting, the All-on-Four method uses fewer implants and is designed to maximize contact with the strongest parts of your jawbone.
This innovative technique provides several unique advantages, making it an excellent option for patients.
Benefits of All-on-Four Dental Implants
Transitioning into the benefits, it’s easy to see why so many patients are choosing All-on-Four:
- Immediate Results: Many patients leave the office with a temporary full set of teeth the same day.
- Secure and Comfortable: No slipping or adhesives like with removable dentures.
- Natural Look and Feel: The prosthetic teeth are designed to look and function like natural teeth.
- Preserve Bone Health: Implants stimulate your jawbone and help prevent further bone loss.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, All-on-Four implants can last for decades.
While the benefits are clear, you might still wonder if you’re the right candidate for this treatment.
Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-Four Dental Implants?
Not sure if you’re a candidate for All-on-Four? Here’s who might benefit the most:
- Patients with multiple missing or severely damaged teeth
- Denture-wearers seeking a more permanent solution
- Individuals with bone loss who may not qualify for traditional implants
- Patients in good general health who want to restore function and confidence
If any of these situations apply to you, the next step is to understand the process from start to finish.
What to Expect at Lobb Dental
Wondering what the process looks like? Here’s what you can expect when choosing Dr. Lobb for your All-on-Four treatment:
- Consultation – Dr. Lobb will perform a full oral exam, review your medical history, and take detailed scans to evaluate your bone density and jaw structure.
- Treatment Planning—Advanced digital imaging is used to create a customized treatment plan and determine optimal implant placement and prosthetic design.
- Implant Placement & Temporary Teeth – On the day of your surgery, the four implants are placed, and a temporary fixed bridge is attached — giving you a fully functional smile immediately.
- Healing Period – Over the next few months, your implants integrate with your jawbone. During this time, you’ll wear the temporary bridge.
- Final Restoration – Once healed, you’ll return to have your permanent bridge placed — crafted for durability, aesthetics, and a perfect fit.
As you consider your options, seeing how All-on-Four compares to other tooth replacement methods is helpful.
How Much Do All-on-Four Implants Cost?
While All-on-Four is a higher initial investment than dentures, looking at the long-term value is important. You’re investing in a solution that:
- Doesn’t need to be replaced every few years
- Reduces ongoing maintenance and discomfort
- Improves quality of life and self-confidence

Cost is only one piece of the puzzle — choosing the right dentist to guide you through the journey is equally important.
