All-on-4 Implants

All-on-4 Implants

All-on-4 is a full-arch implant solution that replaces an entire row of missing or failing teeth using just four strategically placed implants to support a fixed prosthesis. It is often considered by patients dealing with extensive tooth loss, advanced decay, or long-term denture wear who want a stable, non-removable alternative. At 1st Family Dental in Chicago, IL, treatment planning draws on both surgical and restorative expertise to help determine whether this approach fits a patient's oral anatomy and goals.

Planning and Placement

• 3D CT Imaging — Maps bone density, nerve paths, and soft tissue in one scan so implant positions can be planned with precision.
• Guided Implant Surgery — Uses that imaging to create a surgical guide, helping place each implant at the planned angle and depth.
• Piezo Bone Surgery — Ultrasonic instruments shape bone gently where grafting or implant site preparation is needed.

Who's Involved

Full-arch implant cases at our practice may involve Dr. Ghassan Abboud, a prosthodontist and founder trained in combined prosthodontics and implants, Dr. Najeeb Abufarha, whose training focuses on full-arch implant restorations from planning through placement, and Dr. John Hur, an oral surgeon with training in CT-guided implant surgery. Together, this team addresses both the surgical placement and the restorative work that completes an All-on-4 arch.
