All on 4 Dental Implants in NYC (Midtown Manhattan)

Losing most or all of your teeth doesn’t mean you’re stuck with removable dentures forever. All on 4 dental implants offer a way to restore an entire arch of teeth—top, bottom, or both—using four carefully angled implants and a fixed bridge of teeth.  Sometimes 6 implants are recommended.

At Herald Square Dental in Midtown Manhattan, our implant specialists Dr. Arthur Yam and Dr. Alfred Shirzadnia provide advanced All on 4–style full-arch implant solutions tailored to your smile, bone structure, and goals. Our patients come to us from all over New York City  and beyond looking for a permanent, stable alternative to traditional dentures.

What Are All on 4 Dental Implants?

All on 4 is a full-arch implant treatment that replaces an entire row or arch of teeth with a fixed bridge supported by four implants. Two are placed vertically in the front part of the jaw, and two are angled in the back to maximize contact with your existing bone.  Sometimes it is recommended to use 6 implants.

Instead of placing an implant for every missing tooth, All on 4 uses this strategic layout to create a strong foundation for a full set of replacement teeth. In many cases, patients can have bad or failing teeth removed, implants placed, and a fixed temporary bridge attached in a single, carefully planned day, often referred to as “teeth in a day” or “same-day teeth.”

The result is a smile that looks natural, feels secure, and stays in place—no adhesive, no nightly soaking, and no worrying that your teeth will move when you talk or chew.

Who Is a Candidate for All on 4 or All on 6 ?

You may be a good candidate for All on 4 dental implants in NYC if:

• You’re missing most or all of your teeth on the upper or lower arch.
• You have failing teeth that need to be removed and want a fixed solution.
• You currently wear dentures and are frustrated by looseness, rubbing, or difficulty chewing.
• You’ve been told you have bone loss but still want an implant option (All on 4 often works with less bone than traditional implants).

During your consultation, our team uses digital X-rays and CBCT 3D imaging to assess your bone quality and plan your case. Together, we’ll discuss your health history, medications, and lifestyle to confirm whether All on 4 is the safest and most effective option for you.

The All on 4 Procedure: Step by Step

Every case is personalized, but most All on 4  or,  All on 6 treatment plans at Herald Square Dental follow four main phases.

1. Consultation & Planning

Your visit begins with a thorough exam, 3D imaging, and a conversation about your concerns and goals. We’ll evaluate your existing teeth, bone volume, and bite, and review your medical history to make sure you’re a good candidate.

We then design your new smile—shape, shade, and tooth position—so that it fits your face and feels natural. Our on-site lab team plays a key role here, helping us control quality and timing from start to finish.

2. Surgery Day: Extractions, Implants, and Temporary Teeth

On the day of your All on 4 surgery, any failing teeth on that arch are gently removed, and four implants are placed with a carefully planned approach to maximize stability. When appropriate, Dr. Shirzadnia may incorporate Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) to support faster healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance bone regeneration—an especially valuable benefit for full-arch implant cases. PRF is a natural, growth-factor-rich material made from your own blood, and you can read more about it on our Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) NYC page. In many cases, you will also receive a fixed temporary bridge on the same day, allowing you to leave with secure, natural-looking teeth immediately after surgery.

3. Healing & Integration

Over the next several months, your jawbone fuses to the implants in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong base for your final bridge. During this time, you’ll wear your temporary fixed teeth, which are designed for comfort and function while we fine-tune your final result.

4. Final Bridge Placement

Once your implants are fully integrated and the tissue has stabilized, we take precise impressions and fabricate your final, long-term bridge. This final set is customized for bite, comfort, and aesthetics, giving you a durable, beautiful smile designed to last for many years.

Benefits of All on 4 or 6 vs. Traditional Dentures

For many New Yorkers, dental implants are a life-changing upgrade from removable dentures. Some of the key advantages include:

• Stability: Your teeth are anchored to implants, so they don’t shift or slip.
• Chewing power: You can enjoy a broader range of foods than with traditional dentures.
• Bone preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone and help reduce bone loss over time.
• Comfort: No acrylic covering the roof of your mouth on the upper arch, so food tastes better and speech feels more natural.
• Convenience: Fixed teeth stay in your mouth—you brush them much like natural teeth.

Traditional dentures remain a good option for some patients, but they sit on top of the gums and cannot prevent ongoing bone resorption. Over time, this can lead to a looser fit and a more “sunken” facial appearance. All on 4/6 addresses both function and facial support.

What Recovery Looks Like After All on 4/6

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable recovery feels after All on 4 surgery. You can expect:

• Some soreness and swelling in the first few days, which is usually controlled with medication and cold compresses.
• A soft or modified diet for a period recommended by your doctor to protect your implants while they’re healing.
• Follow-up visits to monitor healing and ensure your temporary bridge is functioning comfortably.

Because you leave with fixed teeth, you don’t have to struggle with going without teeth or dealing with a loose temporary denture during healing.

How Long Do All on 4 Dental Implants Last?

With proper care—good home hygiene, regular cleanings, and checkups—All on 4 implants are designed to last many years and often decades. The implants themselves can be extremely long-lived; the bridge (the teeth you see) may eventually need maintenance or replacement due to normal wear.

Success rates for full-arch implant treatments are very high when performed by experienced clinicians and supported by good patient home care and regular professional maintenance.

Risks and Considerations

All on 4 or 6, is a surgical treatment, so it carries some of the same risks as other implant procedures, including infection, poor healing, or implant failure in rare cases. Certain health factors—such as uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, or untreated gum disease—may increase these risks.

At Herald Square Dental, we perform a thorough evaluation and medical review, and we may recommend pre-treatment (such as periodontal therapy or smoking cessation support) to help improve your outcome.
