Trade a loose denture or failing teeth for a fixed, full arch of new teeth, planned and placed on Armitage Avenue.
Picture biting into a crisp apple without wondering whether your teeth will shift. For many people living with a full denture or a row of failing teeth, that simple moment feels out of reach. All-on-4 dental implants anchor a complete arch of new teeth to just four implants, giving you a fixed smile you never take out.
Cityview Dental Arts, the Dental Group of Chicago office serving Bucktown, offers All-on-4 treatment alongside our other dental implants in Bucktown. From your first scans to your final set of teeth, most of your care happens in our office on Armitage Avenue, with very little need for an outside referral.
All-on-4 is a full-arch treatment that replaces every tooth in the upper or lower jaw with one fixed bridge. Four implants act as artificial roots. The two in front sit upright, while the two in back are placed at an angle so they can reach more of your jawbone. In many cases, this angled placement reduces or removes the need for bone grafting.
Full-arch tooth loss is more common than you might think. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, about 15% of adults age 65 and older have no remaining natural teeth. All-on-4 offers a fixed alternative to a removable denture for anyone facing the loss of a full arch.
Dr. Bock founded Cityview Dental Arts and continues to treat patients from the Bucktown office today. His long history in the neighborhood means many patients have trusted him with their care for years, now backed by the resources of Dental Group of Chicago.
All-on-4 is designed for people who need to replace most or all of the teeth in an arch, not just one or two. You may want to ask about it if any of these sound familiar.
Good candidates are generally in stable overall health and ready to keep up with daily cleaning and regular checkups. We review your health history and scans before recommending All-on-4 or another path.
A traditional denture rests on your gums and relies on suction or adhesive. All-on-4 teeth are secured to implants, so they stay put while you eat and speak, and you clean them in your mouth instead of soaking them overnight. Implants also put healthy pressure on the jawbone, which may help slow the bone loss that often follows missing teeth. Our blog covers more benefits of All-on-4 over traditional dentures.
If only one or two teeth are missing and the rest are healthy, single-tooth dental implants in Bucktown are usually a better fit. All-on-4 makes the most sense when an entire arch needs replacing, because four implants can support a full row of teeth instead of one implant for every tooth.
Most All-on-4 treatment follows three main stages, and we explain each one before any work begins.
Your first visit includes an exam, digital X-rays, and scans of your jaw so we can measure bone volume and plan where each implant should go.
Any failing teeth are removed with a tooth extraction in Bucktown, and the four implants are placed with local anesthesia. In many cases, a temporary arch is attached soon after placement so you are not without teeth while you heal.
Over the next few months, the implants fuse with your jawbone. Once healing is complete, we attach your permanent arch, designed around the shape and shade you chose during planning.
Some swelling, soreness, and bruising are normal for the first several days. Most patients manage this with over-the-counter pain relief, cold compresses, and rest, and they typically return to everyday routines within a few days to a week.
Your diet changes in stages while the implants heal. You start with soft foods such as yogurt, eggs, and pasta, then add firmer foods once we confirm the implants are stable. Avoiding tobacco during healing may also help the implants bond with the bone.
All-on-4 teeth cannot get cavities, but the gums and bone around the implants still need daily attention. Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush, and clean under the bridge with a water flosser or floss threader to clear trapped food.
Regular checkups let our team clean around the implants, check your bite, and catch early signs of gum inflammation. If inflammation shows up, our periodontal care in Bucktown can help keep the tissue around your implants healthy.
A full-arch restoration is a larger investment, and you deserve a clear plan before you commit. Our team reviews your dental coverage with you before treatment, explains what your plan may contribute, and lays out the cost of each stage.
For the remaining balance, Cherry financing offers monthly payment plans. If you are a new patient without dental insurance, a $99 first visit includes an initial cleaning, a comprehensive exam, and a full set of digital X-rays.
Dr. Jerome Bock founded Cityview Dental Arts and still treats patients at our Bucktown office. We are part of Dental Group of Chicago, a Top Implant Provider 2025, and our team handles planning, placement, and follow-up in-house. You can move from exam to treatment to checkups in one familiar office.
We offer evening appointments until 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and our comfort menu includes heated blankets, neck pillows, Netflix, and a coffee bar to make longer visits more relaxing.
With daily cleaning and regular checkups, All-on-4 implants can last for many years. The teeth attached to the implants may need repairs or replacement over time from normal wear.
In many cases, yes. The angled back implants are designed to use the bone you still have, which may reduce or avoid the need for bone grafting. Your scans show us whether grafting would help before placement.
No. The teeth are fixed to the implants, and only our team removes them, typically during maintenance visits. You brush and clean them in place instead of taking them out.
The implants are placed with local anesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Soreness and swelling afterward usually ease within several days with over-the-counter pain relief.
Yes. All-on-4 can replace the upper arch, the lower arch, or both, depending on which teeth need replacing.
Placement is usually done in one visit per arch, followed by a healing period of several months while the implants fuse with the bone. Your permanent teeth are attached once healing is complete.
Some dental plans contribute toward parts of full-arch treatment, such as exams, extractions, or the final teeth. Our team reviews your coverage before treatment, and Cherry financing is available for any remaining balance.
You start with soft foods while the implants heal, then add firmer foods once we confirm they are stable. After your permanent teeth are in place, most patients can enjoy a wide range of foods again.
