Replace an entire arch of failing teeth or an uncomfortable denture with fixed teeth, in most cases leaving the same day with a fixed temporary bridge. Also called All-on-4, All-on-X, or teeth in a day — performed in Elk Grove Village under IV sedation by a Columbia-trained dentist who teaches the procedure to other Illinois dentists.
All-on-4 is a full-arch restoration technique that replaces all teeth in your upper or lower jaw with a permanent set of prosthetic teeth, supported by just four dental implants strategically placed for maximum stability. Unlike traditional implant methods that might require 8-10 implants per arch and months of healing before teeth are attached, All-on-4 delivers a functioning smile the same day.
The procedure works because the two posterior implants are angled to take advantage of denser bone, avoiding the need for bone grafting in most cases. Combined with digital planning via our TRIOS scanner and same-day temporary teeth, most patients walk out with a complete set of fixed teeth the same afternoon.
You'll see these terms used for the same basic treatment: a fixed, full arch of teeth attached to dental implants. Here's how they relate.
The everyday term for replacing all the teeth in one or both jaws with implant-supported teeth. It covers every approach below.
A full arch of teeth supported by four implants, with the back two angled to use the strongest available bone. The original, best-known version.
The same idea with the number of implants matched to your bone and bite, often five or six. More implants can mean more support and a backup if one ever fails. All-on-4 vs. All-on-6 →
Describes the timing: implants are placed and a fixed temporary bridge is attached the same day, when the implants are stable enough to support it, which is the case for most patients. Your final zirconia bridge follows after 3–4 months of healing.
Want teeth that come out of your own gums, with no pink prosthetic? See the Advani A6™ (FP1). Told you don't have enough bone? See implants with severe bone loss.
The implants are the foundation, but the teeth are what you live with. Every case is planned backward from the finished bridge, so the surgery serves the smile and not the other way around.
How much tooth and gum shows when you smile, and how the bridge supports your lips and cheeks, decide whether you're best served by teeth with no pink (FP1) or a bridge that replaces lost gum too (FP3).
Tooth length, bite height and the shape of the palate side all affect how you chew and how you say "s" and "f" sounds. They are checked in the temporary bridge and refined before the final one is made.
The underside of the bridge is shaped so you can clean it with a water flosser and floss threaders at home. A bridge that looks good but traps food isn't a good bridge.
A fixed temporary bridge is attached the same day when the implants are stable enough to carry it. Most patients qualify. If an implant needs more time to heal, you'll wear a temporary in the meantime, and we'll tell you before surgery if that's likely.
Most adults who've lost most of their teeth — or are tired of dentures — are candidates. Even many patients told they "don't have enough bone" can benefit from advanced techniques.
For most patients, extractions, implants and a fixed temporary bridge happen in one surgical visit, followed by a healing period. Here's exactly what to expect.
A private conversation with Dr. Advani. We review your concerns, take 3D CBCT imaging, and provide a transparent treatment plan and pricing. No pressure, no commitment.
We design your new smile using TRIOS intraoral scans and CBCT data, planned in both Blue Sky Plan and X-Guide. During surgery, X-Nav navigation tracks every step live in 3D so each implant goes exactly where it was planned. You'll preview your new teeth before surgery.
Under IV sedation, Dr. Advani removes any remaining teeth, places four implants per arch, and attaches a temporary set of fixed teeth. Procedure takes ~4 hours. You leave with a complete smile.
Most discomfort resolves within 2-3 days. You'll eat soft foods for several weeks while osseointegration (bone-to-implant fusion) completes. We see you regularly during this period.
Once your implants are fully integrated, we craft and deliver your permanent prosthesis — stronger, more refined, and designed to last decades.
At many implant offices, one person does the surgery, someone else gives the sedation, and a lab technician fits your teeth. At Advani Implant Institute, Dr. Vishal Advani personally handles or directly oversees every step, from your first scan to your final bridge and every check-up after.

Dr. Advani holds an Illinois permit for IV moderate sedation. He provides it himself or works alongside a nurse anesthetist (CRNA) or physician anesthesiologist, and either way he personally watches your sedation throughout the procedure.

Maintenance visits, at the same address, with the same doctor.
Dr. Advani has practiced at this address, on the Ascension Alexian Brothers campus in Elk Grove Village, since 2012. That means he sees his own work years later: how bridges wear, how the gums respond, and what holds up over time. Those lessons go straight into how he plans and builds every new case.
A doctor who has been at an office for only a year or two hasn't had the chance to see that. And when your warranty runs 10 years, it matters that the doctor who did the work is likely to still be here.
All-on-4 is one of the most technique-sensitive procedures in dentistry. The difference between a good outcome and a great one comes down to surgical precision, prosthetic design, and managing the occasional complication. Dr. Advani has performed this procedure hundreds of times — and teaches it to other dentists through the Advani Implant Institute.
Procedures performed inside Ascension Alexian Brothers Medical Center. Emergency medical response is on the same floor, not across town — a safety margin no standalone office provides.
Columbia DDS with 1,000+ hours of international continuing education. Expertise in the hardest cases — pterygoid, trans-sinus, palatal approach, nasopalatine canal — means straightforward All-on-4 cases are routine.

Dr. Advani has personally placed and restored more than 2,000 implants. At many implant centers, one doctor does the surgery and another makes the teeth. Here, the same doctor plans and places your implants and designs, fits and delivers your final bridge, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
We believe you deserve to know what All-on-4 costs before you walk into our office. Our pricing is all-inclusive — no surprise fees for sedation, diagnostics, temporary teeth, or follow-up visits.
Financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance makes treatment manageable. Most approved patients qualify for payment plans at little or no interest. HSA/FSA dollars may be applied, and some medical insurance plans contribute toward IV sedation.
