Why All-on-4 Is
One of a Kind
Only One Surgery
A minimum of four implants are embedded into your jaw during one surgical procedure. Traditional implants require two separate procedures with several months of healing time in between.
Immediate Bridge Placement
With All-on-4, a temporary bridge is placed right after implant surgery, so you will leave our office with teeth. Once the implants have fused with the bone tissue, you will receive a permanent bridge for completely restored function.
Avoid Bone Grafts
In most cases, All-on-4 does not require bone grafting because the two implants at the back of the jaw are placed at an angle to maximize contact with the existing bone tissue. Many patients with missing teeth suffer from bone atrophy, meaning traditional implants would not be recommended unless the jawbone is first strengthened through bone grafting.

Meet Dr. Bidra
Dr. Bidra is a board-certified prosthodontist and sub-specialist in maxillofacial prosthodontics. He is one of the few board-certified prosthodontists in Connecticut, and one of the few board-certified oral and maxillofacial prosthodontists in the United States.
“I can eat whatever I want, and I can smile again. It's the best thing I ever did.”
Find the Smile You've Been Missing with All-on-4
Thanks to the All-on-4 technique, our patients from Glastonbury and nearby can reclaim all the priceless benefits of a complete and healthy smile. Even if you've had trouble qualifying for implant-supported bridges in the past, this method can treat a broader range of patients.
What You Need to Know About Bruxism
Grinding and clenching are among the leading causes of implant failure over time, and many patients are unaware they do it. As part of his All-on-4 protocol, Dr. Bidra evaluates every patient for signs of bruxism during the preparation phase. When indicated, he uses BOTOX® injections to relax the masseter muscles and reduce the destructive forces that grinding places on new implants. This proactive step is one that most providers skip entirely, but it can make a meaningful difference in the long-term success of your restoration.
The Four Primary Steps
All-on-4 is a highly technical process, but these are the four fundamental steps you can expect on your journey to a restored smile:
Preparation
Before your procedure begins, Dr. Bidra will take every measure to ensure that your procedure is safe, precise, and provides you with maximum benefits for many years to come.
- Treatment Planning
- We will use digital x-rays and other tools to determine exactly where your implants will be placed.
- Local Anesthesia
- On the day of surgery, you will get comfortable in the treatment chair before we provide a local anesthetic to make the treatment area numb, eliminating discomfort.
- Sedation Upon Request
- If you wish to achieve deeper relaxation during treatment, we can provide IV sedation upon request.
Implant Placement
We will create the foundation for your permanent bridge.
- Incisions
- Dr. Bidra will create incisions in the gum tissue to access the jawbone.
- Implants
- The implants will be inserted into the jaw to replace lost tooth roots.
- Sutures
- The gums will be sutured to completely close the incisions and promote healing.
Teeth-in-a-Day
In most cases, patients receive a temporary bridge to wear as the jaw heals.
- Temporary Restoration
- Dr. Bidra will attach the temporary bridge to your dental implants.
- Healing
- Over the next three to six months, the implants will fuse to the jawbone.
- Considerations
- While your jaw heals, it is important to eat only soft foods to avoid placing strain on the treatment site.
Permanent Bridge
When Dr. Bidra confirms that your jaw has healed, you will receive your permanent bridge.
- Attachment
- The temporary bridge is replaced with the permanent bridge, which is secured to your implants.
- Restored Function
- With your permanent bridge in place, you will be able to enjoy any foods you wish, from fresh fruit to rare steak.
- Maintenance
- Caring for your permanent bridge is just like caring for natural teeth. Brush twice and floss once daily, and see us every six months for a checkup.
An Investment That Can Last a Lifetime
All-on-4 can cost more than traditional tooth replacement solutions, but the benefits can make it well worth the investment. We use only premium implants—never cheap substitutes or shortcuts. Most dental insurance won’t cover implant surgery, though some plans may help with extractions or certain preparatory procedures. Out-of-pocket costs should be expected.
Dental Financing Options
Our practice offers financing through CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and Cherry, the most trusted third-party lenders in medical care.

Did Your All-on-4 Implants Fail? Dr. Bidra Can Help.
Not every full-arch case goes as planned. Patients across Hartford, CT, and beyond come to our office after experiencing complications with implants placed by other providers. Fractured prosthetics, failing implants, bone loss around existing fixtures, poor aesthetics, and discomfort are among the most common issues we see in revision cases.
Why Revision Cases
Require a Specialist
Correcting failed full-arch work is significantly more complex than the original procedure. It requires removing compromised implants, managing damaged bone and soft tissue, and redesigning the restoration from the ground up. Most general dentists and even some prosthodontists refer these cases out because they lack the surgical and restorative expertise to manage them safely.
Why Patients Trust Dr. Bidra
With Revision Work
As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial prosthodontist, Dr. Bidra is one of the few specialists in Connecticut qualified to handle every stage of implant revision, from surgical removal to final prosthetic delivery. His experience with thousands of implant cases, combined with his in-house lab and U.S. patent in full-arch design, gives revision patients a level of precision and oversight that is difficult to find elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4
Is the All-on-4 Procedure Painful?
Most patients report that the procedure is far more comfortable than they expected. Local anesthesia is used during surgery, and sedation is available upon request. Post-operative discomfort is typically managed with prescribed medication and subsides within a few days.
How Long Do All-on-4 Implants Last?
With proper care and regular maintenance visits, All-on-4 implants can last decades. The implants themselves are designed to be permanent, and the prosthetic bridge can be adjusted or replaced over time as needed.
What Can I Eat After All-on-4?
You will follow a soft food diet during the initial healing period. Once your permanent bridge is placed, most patients return to eating a full range of foods, including items that were difficult or impossible with dentures.
