Eat, laugh and smile with confidence with All-on-4 implants
All-on-4 dental implants offer a revolutionary solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. At Roam Dental in Shelby Township, Dr. Barbu uses just four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of beautiful, fixed teeth — giving you a permanent smile that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. If you've been living with dentures or significant tooth loss, All-on-4 implants may be the life-changing treatment you've been waiting for.

All-on-4 is an innovative full-arch implant technique that uses only four titanium implants — two placed vertically at the front and two angled posteriorly — to support a complete set of fixed replacement teeth. The angled posterior implants maximize contact with available bone, making All-on-4 possible even for patients who have experienced significant bone loss.
Unlike traditional implants that require one implant per tooth, All-on-4 condenses the entire arch into four carefully positioned anchor points. This reduces treatment complexity, cost, and recovery time while delivering a result that is permanently fixed — not removable like conventional dentures. Many patients receive temporary teeth on the same day as implant placement, letting them leave the office with a complete smile.
If you are considering replacing a full arch of failing or missing teeth, dental implants provide the most stable and long-lasting solution available in modern dentistry. All-on-4 takes that foundation and makes it accessible for more patients than ever before.
Your All-on-4 journey begins with a comprehensive consultation including 3D cone beam imaging to map your jaw anatomy and plan implant positions with precision. If any remaining teeth need to be extracted, this can often be done at the same appointment as implant placement. Dr. Barbu then places two implants vertically in the anterior jaw and two at an angle posteriorly to maximize bone contact.
Immediately following surgery, a temporary fixed prosthesis is attached to the implants so you can leave with functional teeth that same day. Over the next four to six months, the implants undergo osseointegration — fusing directly with your jawbone — creating an anchor strong enough to support your permanent restoration. You return for your final high-quality permanent teeth once healing is confirmed.
Throughout the process, our team provides detailed care instructions and follows up at each stage to ensure your healing is progressing well. The result is a fixed, beautiful arch of teeth that requires no adhesives, no nightly removal, and no compromise on the foods you enjoy.
Traditional dentures sit on top of the gum and rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place — a solution that can shift during eating and speaking and that continues to allow jawbone deterioration over time. All-on-4 implants are anchored directly into the bone, eliminating slipping entirely and actively stimulating the jaw to prevent further bone loss.
Patients who switch from dentures to All-on-4 consistently report dramatic improvements in chewing strength, speech clarity, and day-to-day confidence. Because All-on-4 teeth are fixed, there is no removal for cleaning, no adhesive to apply, and no concern about the prosthesis shifting at an inopportune moment. Care is as simple as brushing and flossing around the bridge.
When you factor in the long-term costs of denture relining, replacement, and adhesives over decades, All-on-4 often proves to be the more cost-effective choice. With proper care, All-on-4 implants are designed to last 20 years or more — providing a permanent foundation for a confident, functional smile.

All-on-4 delivers full-arch restoration with fewer implants, faster recovery, and results that rival natural teeth in every way.
Four strategically placed implants — including two angled posteriorly — support an entire arch of teeth, reducing cost and surgical complexity.
In most cases, patients leave their appointment with a provisional arch of teeth attached the same day implants are placed.
Implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, preventing the bone resorption that causes facial collapse with dentures.
All-on-4 teeth are anchored securely — no adhesives, no removal at night, no slipping. They function and feel like your own natural teeth.
All-on-4 restores up to 90% of natural bite force, allowing patients to comfortably eat the foods they love without restriction.
