All-on-4 Dental Implants
People missing most or all of their teeth struggle not only with how they look but when eating and speaking, as well.
With the All-on-4® technique, a full set of custom dentures can be anchored using just four strategically placed dental implants.

What Is All-on-4? Understanding the Basics
The All-on-4 method differs from traditional implant placement in a number of ways, including:
Support for a Full Denture
All-on-4 is used to support a full denture for people missing most or all of their teeth. Patients can undergo All-on-4 for replacement of upper or lower teeth.
Just Four Implants Needed
The All-on-4 system is aptly named. It supports a full denture using just four implants. Careful planning and modeling determine optimal dental implant placement.
Provides Function and Stability
Once All-on-4 dental implants are in place, they can immediately support a full denture. The final custom denture will be crafted later to finish treatment.
Experience That Makes a Difference
Dr. Feldstein has nearly 40 years of experience treating tooth loss. During this time, he has personally placed more than 4,000 dental implants. This includes All-on-4 dental implants as well as traditional implants. He always uses the latest technology when placing implants, putting patient care and satisfaction first.

Both All-on-4 and traditionally-placed implants are good options for treating extensive tooth loss. Let's compare how each works and why one method may be better for your needs.
Traditional Implants
With traditional dental implants, five or more implants will be required to secure a full denture in place. Before placing the denture, patients will need months of healing for complete osseointegration.
All-on-4 Implants
With the All-on-4 technique, Dr. Feldstein places four implants at an angle to create a more stable base of support for your denture. While patients still need several months to recover from surgery, the reduced number of implants usually allows for an easier recovery. Additionally, it is also often less expensive.
Have You Been Told You Don't Qualify for an Implant-Supported Denture?
People who have been missing teeth for a long time often grow frustrated dealing with traditional dentures day in and day out. Regrettably, by the time they decide to get implant-supported dentures, they discover they no longer have the bone mass needed to support them. It's an unfortunate fact that bone loss goes along with tooth loss, and wearing dentures accelerates the process.
All-on-4 dental implants may be a solution. If you lack good bone in the back of your jaw but still have sufficient bone quality at the front, Dr. Michael Feldstein may be able to use All-on-4 implants so you can achieve your dream of implant-supported dentures.
Can the All-on-4 method fulfill your dream?

With careful screening, we can determine if All-on-4 implant placement is the right treatment for you. Here are some common criteria that we look for at our Flushing, NY, office.
Missing Many Teeth
The All-on-4 dental implant method is made for people who are missing most or all of their teeth. Extraction can be performed on remaining teeth to make room for a full denture.Sufficient Jawbone Density
Patients must have enough stable jaw structure to secure the four implants. If you've suffered bone loss in the jaw, an additional bone grafting surgery is required.Good Overall Health
Patients should be in good general health. This means no adverse medical conditions and the ability to undergo oral surgery with low risk of surgical complications.Commitment to Long Term Care
After the implants are in place, patients need to practice good oral hygiene and follow aftercare instructions to avoid issues that make implant failure more likely.Numbers on Extensive Tooth Loss
Given these numbers on extensive tooth loss, it's no wonder that treatments like All-on-4 dental implant placement continue to grow in popularity, especially among seniors.

View On GoogleThe Cost of All-on-4 Implants Payment Options and Financing
Many patients interested in All-on-4 have questions about the total cost of care and payment options. It can vary from patient to patient, but we'll discuss all of these concerns as part of the consultation process.
The Average Cost of Care
On average, the cost of All-on-4 implant dentures is approximately $18,000. This covers the implants themselves, as well as the prosthesis. There are added costs if additional surgery and preparation are involved.
Saving Time and Money
Some practices only perform part of the All-on-4 process. Jewel Dental Associates performs all aspects of implant placement, including tooth extractions and bone grafting. This saves patients time and money.
Insurance and Financing
Insurance policies differ, so check with your provider about All-on-4 dental implant coverage. Financing options are also available to break the total cost of treatment into affordable monthly installments.
How Much Are Simple Pleasures Worth?
All-on-4 dental implants are an investment not only in your health but also in the simple pleasures of day-to-day life, from an enjoyable meal with friends to passing conversations on the street. Implants also keep your jaw strong and let you avoid the complications that go along with traditional dentures.
While the price of All-on-4 may initially seem out of reach, even with insurance coverage, you may quickly discover that when payments are spread out over time that they can fit neatly into your monthly budget. If you have large out-of-pocket costs or lack insurance, flexible financing through CareCredit® lets you avoid large upfront costs and splits payments into more manageable monthly costs.
To find out if you qualify for All-on-4 and what your treatment will cost, request a consultation at Jewel Dental Associates in Flushing, NY. Dr. Feldstein can assess your teeth, and our knowledgeable team can go over pricing and options for payment that will fit into your budget.

The All-on-4 Implant Process A Patient Treatment Timeline
Each patient is different, and our Flushing team tailors each treatment to a guest's needs. The timeline below covers the step-by-step process for the All-on-4 procedure. We will provide a more in-depth breakdown of the process during your visit.
Initial Consultation
We will assess your health and suitability for All-on-4 implants. This will include digital x-rays, a review of your medical history, and a discussion of your concerns.
Planning Treatment
Using advanced planning software, we will determine optimal dental implant placement along the jawbone. This ensures short- and long-term implant success.
Implant Placement
The four implants are anchored into the jaw. Two implants are positioned diagonally to maximize stability and prevent further bone loss along the jaw.
Temporary Denture
Once the dental implants are placed, they can support a temporary denture. Though not the final appliance, it restores the ability to bite and chew naturally.
Osseointegration
Osseointegration occurs over the next few months. The All-on-4 dental implants fuse with the jaw, creating a level of stability that is comparable to natural tooth roots.
Final Denture
The final denture is crafted using dental records and insight from the dentist. We work with Glidewell Laboratories to create a denture that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
Anchor a Full Denture with Just Four Dental Implants
Thanks to All-on-4 dental implants, a denture can be secured and fully functional in a single visit. This restores a patient's ability to bite, chew, speak, and smile.
All-on-4 Implant Aftercare Recovery and Long-Term Tips
Patients can do a lot to reduce the risk of complications such as infection, nerve damage, and implant failure. Here's a general patient guide for surgical recovery and long-term implant care.
After getting All-on-4 implants, patients should limit their diet to liquids and soft foods to avoid discomfort. Over the next few weeks, patients can reintroduce hard foods into their diet. Go slowly and err on the side of comfort.
Soreness, bruising, and swelling are all common side effects after oral surgery. Be sure to take any pain relievers and prescription medications as directed, and use cold compresses when needed to manage swelling.
Patients will have a few follow-up visits to monitor implant healing and surgical recovery. Attend all of these visits as scheduled. If any issues arise between visits, feel free to contact the dental practice.
After oral surgery, patients are advised to rinse their mouth with warm saltwater to avoid infection. Regularly brushing the implants and wiping the gums clean will prevent gum disease and other dental problems.
Cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco increase your risk of periodontal disease in addition to cancer, heart disease, and lung disease. Kick the habit for good to improve your dental health and general wellness.
Seeing your dentist every six months is crucial for maintaining your dental implants and having a healthy mouth. Be sure to attend all regular dental checkups. This prevents minor problems from becoming major issues.
