All On Four Dental Implants
All-on-4 dental implants replace a full arch of missing teeth using just four strategically angled implants to anchor a fixed, non-removable denture. The approach avoids bone grafting for most patients and often allows a temporary set of teeth the same day as surgery. Oxford Smiles Dental in Marlborough offers All-on-4 for upper and lower arches.
All-on-4 Dental Implants in Marlborough, MA
If you’ve lost most or all of your teeth or you’re trapped in dentures that slip, click, and limit what you eat, All-on-4 is the most complete solution modern dentistry offers. At Oxford Smiles, Dr. Aditya Mehta places and restores full-arch implants in-house, from the first consultation through the final smile. No referrals. No runaround. Serving Marlborough, Hudson, Shrewsbury, Northborough, Southborough, Framingham, and all of MetroWest, MA.
What Is All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement system a complete set of upper or lower teeth, 10 to 14 teeth permanently anchored to just four precisely placed implants. You come in missing teeth; you leave with a fixed, non-removable smile.
The name comes from the engineering insight that four implants, when angled strategically in the strongest parts of the jaw, can support an entire arch. This is different from replacing each tooth individually, and it’s different from dentures. The result functions like natural teeth: you eat steak, bite into apples, speak clearly, and smile without hesitation.
For patients who have been told they lack enough bone for traditional implants, All-on-4 is frequently still possible, as the angled posterior implants reach deeper, denser bone that standard vertical implants can’t access, often eliminating the need for bone grafting.
How Complete Dental Implant Solutions Work
The Dental Implant Placement Process
Loading of Dental Implants
Instead of waiting for several months to get false teeth attached to the implants.. The process takes a shorter amount of time because it does not require bone grafts or a large number of implants. The All-on-4 implant process gives the patient natural-looking teeth and helps them feel at ease chewing, speaking, and socializing.
When patients are missing only a few teeth, treatments such as partial dentures, bridges, or traditional implants may be a better fit. However, people who come to our office for All-on-4 implants either have no teeth, or their teeth are failing. Also, if a patient has certain health conditions, a bone graft may not be recommended, and this treatment may be a safer choice.
The Top Benefits of All-On-4
- Durability: Fixed prostheses are stronger and longer-lasting than traditional dentures, which often require frequent repairs or replacements. With proper oral care, permanent implants can provide many years of reliable function.
- Convenience: These implants offer superior stability and comfort, supported securely by artificial roots. This allows you to speak clearly and enjoy all your favorite foods with ease, making them feel just like natural teeth.
- Quick Recovery: Because only four implants are typically needed for full-mouth restorations, the procedure is less invasive and recovery is faster. At Oxford Smiles, our dentists ensure the surgery is efficient, helping you heal quickly and comfortably.
- Immediate aesthetic results: Whether using All-on-4, 5, 6, or 8 prostheses, new teeth can often be placed at the earliest. This means you can leave with a confident, beautiful smile without waiting months as required with traditional methods.
- No Need for Bone Grafting: When jawbone quality or quantity is limited, bone grafting is usually necessary for traditional implants. However, with the All-on-4 technique, implants are placed at strategic angles-two at the back at 60 degrees-where bone loss is less severe, eliminating the need for grafts in most cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
All-on-4 uses four strategically angled implants to anchor a full arch of fixed, non-removable teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 teeth do not slip, do not require adhesive, restore near-normal chewing strength, and prevent the jawbone loss that accelerates facial aging.
All-on-4 is specifically designed for patients with reduced bone volume. The posterior implants are angled to engage denser bone and avoid the need for sinus lifts in many cases. Dr. Mehta will evaluate your 3D cone beam CT scan to determine candidacy with precision.
In many cases, a temporary fixed arch (provisional) is delivered the same day as implant surgery. The permanent final prosthesis is placed after full healing (typically 4–6 months), once the implants have fully integrated with the bone.
All-on-4 treatment per arch typically ranges depending on the case complexity and materials used for the final prosthesis. Oxford Smiles provides detailed cost breakdowns and financing options so the investment is clear and manageable.
Care is similar to natural teeth: brush twice daily with a soft-bristled brush, use a water flosser to clean under the arch, and attend bi-annual checkups. All-on-4 prostheses should be professionally polished and inspected at Oxford Smiles to ensure the implants and bridge remain in optimal condition.
