A full arch of teeth.
Four implants.
All-on-4 replaces an entire arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed, non-removable set of teeth supported by four strategically placed implants. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev plans and places All-on-4 restorations for patients across Bayside, Queens, and the surrounding NY area.
What Is All-on-4?
All-on-4 replaces an entire row of missing or failing teeth using just four dental implants per arch, two placed straight in the front of the jaw and two angled toward the back. That angled placement takes advantage of the denser bone typically found at the front of the jaw, which often means patients can avoid a separate bone grafting procedure. The four implants support a fixed, custom-designed arch of teeth that does not come out, unlike a traditional denture.
Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4?
All-on-4 is designed for patients who are already missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, or whose remaining teeth are failing due to decay, gum disease, or injury and are not realistically savable. Dr. Ilyabayev evaluates your bone density, gum health, and dental history before recommending this or any full-arch option, so the plan matches what your mouth actually needs rather than a one-size answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does All-on-4 Last?
All-on-4 is designed as a long-term, fixed solution. A published follow-up case study tracked an All-on-4 fixed prosthesis for 8.5 years with successful long-term function, though outcomes depend on bone health and consistent maintenance (NIH/PMC case report). Regular checkups at Bayside Dental Arts are the biggest factor in long-term success.
Will I Be Without Teeth During Treatment?
No. A temporary, fixed arch is typically attached the same day your implants are placed, so you leave with a functional set of teeth while the permanent restoration is designed.
What Is the Difference Between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
All-on-6 uses six implants per arch instead of four, offering additional support for patients who need it. Dr. Ilyabayev will recommend whichever option matches your bone structure and treatment goals.
Does Insurance Cover All-on-4?
Coverage varies by plan. Because All-on-4 is a larger treatment plan, Bayside Dental Arts offers a free consultation to walk through your options, along with financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and LendingClub.
