All-on-4 vs. Full Mouth Implants: What’s Best for You?

Expert Insights from Dr. Anshu Gupta, Advanced Dental Care Center, Chandigarh


If you’re struggling with missing teeth, loose dentures, or failing dental work, chances are you’ve come across terms like All-on-4 and Full Mouth Dental Implants. Both are life-changing solutions—but how do they differ, and which one is best for your needs?


In this blog, Dr. Anshu Gupta, one of Chandigarh’s top dental implant specialists at Advanced Dental Care Center, breaks down the differences between All-on-4 and full mouth implants to help you make an informed decision.


Understanding the Basics


All-on-4 Dental Implants

• Involves placing 4 implants per arch (upper or lower jaw).

• A fixed prosthetic (bridge) is attached to these implants.

• Often suitable for patients with some bone loss.

• Known as a “Teeth in a Day” procedure—temporary teeth can often be placed immediately.


Full Mouth Dental Implants (Conventional Approach)

• Typically involves 6 to 8 implants per arch.

• Supports a fixed bridge or full arch of crowns.

• Offers greater distribution of force and may be better for those with higher biting pressure.

• Considered the gold standard in terms of long-term strength and support.


Key Differences at a Glance

Bone Requirement Works with minimal bone May require bone grafting

Ideal For Moderate bone loss, budget-conscious Strong jaws, long-term durability


Pros & Cons

All-on-4 Limitations

Full Mouth Implants Advantages
