LIFE-CHANGING TREATMENT WITH VITALITY PERSONALIZED CARE
All-On-4® Implant Teeth
With this technique a full set of teeth for either the upper or lower jaw is supported by only four implants. The implants are placed in the anterior region of the jaw, where bone density is higher. The back implants are typically angled to achieve maximum support from the existing bone.

What Are All-On-4® Implants?
All-On-4® dental implants represent an advanced alternative to traditional removable dentures for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth due to advanced gum disease, injury, or genetic factors. While conventional dentures rest on the gums and rely on suction and adhesives for stability, they often become loose over time as the jawbone naturally deteriorates following tooth loss. This bone resorption can cause dentures to slip during eating or speaking, creating discomfort and self-consciousness.
The All-On-4® technique addresses these limitations by anchoring a full arch of prosthetic teeth to just four strategically placed dental implants per jaw. These implants integrate directly with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation that prevents the wobbling and movement associated with removable dentures. By minimizing the number of implants required, this approach simplifies the procedure while maintaining affordability without compromising stability or function.
Why Patients Choose All-On-4® Instead of Dentures
Traditional dentures rely on the gums for support and may loosen over time due to bone loss. This can make eating, speaking, and daily activities more difficult.
All-On-4® dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, creating a secure, non-removable solution. Patients often choose this treatment to regain stability, improve function, and avoid the limitations of removable dentures.
Why Patients Choose All-On-4® Instead of Dentures
Patients choose Vitality Teeth® for a more advanced and comprehensive approach to full-mouth implant treatment.
Our care is guided by Dr. Hamid Shafie, an internationally recognized prosthodontist with over three decades of experience in implant dentistry. He serves as President and Chief Knowledge Officer of the American Institute of Implant Dentistry, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC focused on advancing innovation and education in the field.
Dr. Shafie has trained clinicians in over 40 countries and developed widely adopted full-mouth implant protocols used by surgeons around the world. His work has helped shape modern implant dentistry, with published textbooks that serve as educational references in the field.
At Vitality Teeth®, this level of experience is applied directly to patient care—ensuring that every full-mouth reconstruction is carefully planned, highly precise, and focused on long-term success.
What to Expect During All-On-4® Treatment?
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Zach Saltman, our maxillofacial surgeon in residence. During this initial visit, he reviews your medical history, discusses your smile goals, and thoroughly evaluates your oral health. Advanced 3D dental imaging technology allows our team to precisely visualize your jawbone structure and plan optimal implant placement before surgery.
In some cases, Dr. Saltman may recommend extracting any remaining failing teeth prior to implant surgery, particularly if infection is present around the tooth roots. This preliminary step ensures a healthy foundation for your new implants.
The implant surgery involves precisely positioning titanium or zirconia (ceramic) posts within the jawbone. Dr. Saltman's extensive experience with All-On-4® procedures ensures careful navigation around critical structures such as nerves and sinus cavities, minimizing the risks that can arise when this complex surgery is performed by less experienced practitioners.
On the same day as your implant placement, our prosthodontists and implant prosthodontics fellow attach transitional (temporary) prosthetic teeth to your new implants, allowing you to leave our office with a fully functional smile. Once your jawbone and gums have completely healed around the implants, we replace the temporary teeth with your final restoration, custom-designed for optimal fit and natural integration with your healed gum tissue.
What Are the Benefits of All-On-4® Implants?
1. Immediate Functionality: Most patients receive a temporary fixed prosthesis attached to their implants during the initial appointment, walking out with a working set of teeth the very same day.
2. Fewer Implants: The All-On-4® technique requires just four strategically positioned implants per arch, rather than the six to eight needed with conventional full-arch methods. This streamlined approach helps minimize both procedural complexity and overall treatment costs
3. Reduced Healing Time: By utilizing the existing bone structure more efficiently, this method frequently eliminates the need for bone grafting procedures. With fewer implants placed, many patients experience a faster recovery period.
4. Improved Life Quality: The secure, fixed restoration enables patients to enjoy everyday activities with renewed confidence—from eating their favorite foods to speaking clearly and smiling without hesitation, all supported by a stable prosthesis that mimics natural tooth function.
5. Aesthetic and Functionality: Each All-On-4® restoration is precisely tailored to complement your facial features while delivering reliable performance. The result is a natural-looking smile that enhances both appearance and daily comfort.

Considering All-On-4®? Explore a More Advanced Full-Mouth Implant Option in Washington, DC
All-On-4® is a reliable and widely used solution for full-arch restoration, but some patients may benefit from a more advanced and precision-focused approach. At Vitality Teeth®, we offer an enhanced same-day full-mouth implant method designed to support long-term performance and stability.
The Vitality Teeth® approach, developed by Dr. Hamid Shafie, uses six implants instead of four to support the full arch. When anatomy allows, the implants are placed in parallel rather than at angles, which helps distribute bite forces more evenly across the restoration.
Compared to traditional All-On-4®, the Vitality Teeth® method also provides more flexibility in material selection. Patients can choose between Straumann® titanium implants or SDS zirconia implants, offering both conventional and metal-free options based on individual preferences and clinical needs.
In appropriate cases, healthy gum tissue can also be preserved during the procedure, contributing to a more natural-looking result over time.
Every Vitality Teeth® case is carefully planned and fully customized based on your facial structure, bone anatomy, and functional goals. This ensures that your treatment is designed specifically for you rather than following a standardized approach.
