Full-Mouth Dental Implants
Full-mouth dental implants, also known as implant-supported dentures or All-on-4 implants, are an effective, long-lasting way to restore missing teeth on both the upper and lower arches.
All-on-4 Dental Implants in Selah, WA
Full-mouth dental implants, often called All-on-4 implants or implant-supported dentures, provide a complete solution for replacing an entire arch or both arches of missing teeth. This treatment typically uses four to eight strategically placed implants to support a full set of permanent teeth. Once healed, the implants anchor the restoration securely, offering a natural look, strong bite, and improved comfort compared to traditional dentures.
At Selah Creek Dental, full-mouth dental implants are a core area of expertise led by Dr. Michael McKay. With advanced training and experience in implant dentistry, Dr. McKay and the Selah Creek Dental team provide personalized, precise care to help patients restore full function and confidence with long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Who is a good candidate for full-mouth dental implants?
A good candidate for full-mouth (or All-on-4) implants is someone missing most or all of their teeth and seeking a permanent replacement option. Patients should have sufficient jawbone quality and good overall health. Because All-on-4 implants use fewer posts, they’re often suitable even for those with some bone loss, though a dental evaluation is needed to determine candidacy.
-
How long does the All-on-4 implant procedure take?
The All-on-4 implant process typically begins with consultation and planning, followed by placing four implants in the jaw. In many cases, a temporary prosthetic can be attached the same day, allowing patients to leave with functional teeth. Full healing and final restoration placement occur over several months as the implants integrate with the bone.

What are the benefits of All-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 implants offer a stable, natural-feeling alternative to traditional dentures. They require fewer implants per arch, often avoid bone grafts, and support immediate function and improved chewing. These implants also help preserve jawbone health and provide a long-lasting, secure smile that enhances confidence and everyday comfort.
