All-on-4 Dental Implants in Charleston, WV

If you’ve lost multiple teeth or are tired of the discomfort and hassle of removable dentures, All-on-4 dental implants may be the life-changing solution you’ve been searching for. At Smith Family Dentistry, we provide advanced All-on-4 implant dentistry right here in Charleston, West Virginia. Dr. J. Christopher Smith and Dr. Richard D. Smith offer compassionate, modern care using proven techniques to restore your smile, often in just one day.

Serving patients from Charleston, South Charleston, Kanawha City, and surrounding areas, our team is trusted by those seeking permanent, full-arch solutions for missing or failing teeth.

All-on-4 dental implants are a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses just four strategically placed dental implants to support a complete set of fixed, non-removable replacement teeth. This option is ideal for patients who:

• Have lost most or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw
  
  
• Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures
  
  
• Want a permanent, secure alternative to traditional dentures
  
  
• Desire improved chewing power, comfort, and confidence
  
  

Unlike traditional implants that require one implant per tooth, All-on-4 supports a full arch using only four implants, making it more efficient, cost-effective, and often suitable even for patients with some bone loss. Learn more about dental implants.

Are You a Candidate for All-on-4?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are missing most or all teeth on the top or bottom arch
  
  
• Have failing teeth due to decay or gum disease
  
  
• Currently wear dentures, but want a permanent solution
  
  
• Have moderate bone loss but still want implant-supported teeth
  

We’ll begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital X-rays, to determine if All-on-4 is right for you or if other options like implant-supported overdentures may be more appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do All-on-4 dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, the implants can last a lifetime. The prosthetic teeth may need occasional replacement or adjustment over time.

What are the downsides of All-on-4?
Some patients may not be immediate candidates due to health or bone conditions. While it's less invasive than full implant cases, there is still a healing period and initial cost to consider.

How many teeth can you have on All-on-4?
Each arch typically supports 10–14 teeth with just four implants.

Can I eat normally with All-on-4 dental implants?
Yes. Once healed, you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite foods without worry, just like natural teeth.
