The W-4 Implant Solution: Advanced All-on-4 Dental Implants
If you are missing most or all of your teeth in one or both of your arches, the W-4 Implant Solution may be the life-changing treatment you’ve been seeking. Developed by our highly trained Implantologist, Dr. Chris Winterholler, this advanced approach is our enhanced version of the popular All-on-4 dental implant technique. The W-4 Implant Solution uses precision-placed implants to secure a permanent, custom-made dental prosthesis for a lifelike and fully functional new smile.
With fewer implants needed to complete a full set of new teeth—following the established All-on-4 concept—treatment and recovery times are significantly reduced compared to receiving individual implants. Yet you’ll still enjoy all the incredible oral health benefits that only dental implants can offer. Regardless of the current condition of your teeth, we are dedicated to providing you with a custom smile that looks, feels, and functions like healthy, natural teeth.
A More Cutting-Edge, Personalized Full-Mouth Restoration
The traditional All-on-4 dental implant technique revolutionized full-mouth restoration by using just four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of teeth. At Winterholler Dental Implants & Cosmetic Dentistry, we’ve taken this proven concept and enhanced it with advanced technology and proprietary techniques to create the W-4 Implant Solution.
While based on the same principles as the standard All-on-4 procedure, our W-4 approach incorporates exclusive digital planning, custom design, and in-house production that delivers superior aesthetics, function, and longevity. Dr. Winterholler has refined each step of the All-on-4 process to create a truly exceptional restoration experience.

What Makes Our W-4 Implant Solution Unique
There is no other dental office in Arizona that combines all of these technologies to produce such superior All-on-4 results. Your W-4 Implant appointment includes:
- 3D Facial Modeling – We scan a 3D modulation of your face, allowing us to visualize your expected outcome before we even begin treatment.
- Advanced Digital Planning – We use specialized software to plan your implant placement using CT scanning technology that reveals available bone structure to ensure the safest, most effective implant positioning.
- Custom Aesthetic Design – Using Zirkahn Zahn Face Hunter software, we gain unparalleled ability to position your new teeth for the ideal fit with your facial features, ensuring optimal results for proper length, width, cant, and shape. You can select your preferred tooth shape and style, or we can recommend options for you.
- Premium Restoration Design – We design your W-4 Implant Restoration with Zirkahn Zahn custom design software, developed using world-renowned dental laboratory technicians’ tooth molds. These are not standard denture teeth used in basic All-on-4 procedures—they’re custom-designed for natural appearance and function.
- Precision In-House Milling – We custom mill your restoration in our Zirkahn Zahn milling unit, creating a stronger, more durable prosthesis. There are never any holes cut in your restoration after milling—a critical factor in preventing future breakage.
- Immediate Functional Teeth – You’ll leave with a 3D-printed functional prototype of your custom-designed new teeth. We never send patients home without teeth.
- Rapid High-Quality Temporary – Within 48 hours of your surgery, we deliver a high-quality, titanium-reinforced PMMA resin restoration. This is not a standard acrylic denture but a precision-crafted temporary you’ll wear while healing.
- Premium Permanent Restoration – Once your implants are fully integrated, we can copy mill or custom design your permanent Prettau zirconia restoration, providing you with superior, long-lasting zirconia teeth that far exceed the quality of standard All-on-4 restorations.
The W-4 Implant Solution VS Traditional Dentures
| W-4 Implant Solution (Advanced All-on-4) | Traditional Dentures |
|---|---|
| Feels, looks, and functions like natural teeth | Awkward, bulky, and can slip or fall out |
| Securely and permanently attached in the mouth | Requires adhesive to secure in the mouth |
| Preserves healthy jaw bone mass for youthful facial aesthetics | Does not stop bone loss from occurring |
| Can last a lifetime | Continually requires adjustments and replacements |
| Ability to taste and enjoy food | Diminishes the pleasure of eating |
| Preserves your natural biting force | May affect the clarity of your speech |
| Painful denture sores may occur |
Benefits of the W-4 Implant Solution
Our advanced All-on-4 technique offers tooth loss patients a new, natural-looking smile quickly and with less surgery than individual implants. The embarrassing clicking and slipping, and the common discomfort felt with traditional dentures will never occur with your W-4 Implant Solution. Dr. Winterholler can even provide your new set of teeth in as little as one day, using the most advanced digital All-on-4 implant techniques available.
Why Our Patients Choose the W-4 Implant Solution:
- Faster Recovery – Less post-operative healing time, discomfort, swelling, and bruising than with multiple individual implants.
- Natural-Looking Results – Patients receive a custom-made and secure prosthesis that realistically and beautifully replaces multiple teeth at once.
- Bone Preservation – Like the standard All-on-4 procedure, our W-4 Implant Solution prevents the bone loss associated with tooth loss and preserves youthful facial harmony.
- Accessibility – Most patients are candidates because bone grafting is typically unnecessary for this treatment to be secure—a key benefit of the All-on-4 approach.
- Long-Term Solution – The restoration can last for many years with good oral care.
After receiving their W-4 Implant Solution, our patients can comfortably enjoy their favorite foods and speak and smile with complete confidence again, knowing that their teeth look natural. We love to witness the astonishing positive changes in our patients when they receive a new, fully functional smile with our advanced All-on-4 technique.

Frequently Asked Questions About the W-4 Implant Solution
How does the W-4 Implant Solution compare to standard All-on-4 procedures?
While based on the same core concept as traditional All-on-4 treatment, our W-4 Implant Solution incorporates advanced digital planning, custom design, and in-house fabrication capabilities not available with standard All-on-4 procedures. This results in superior aesthetics, better fit, increased strength, and enhanced longevity of your restoration.
Am I a candidate for the W-4 Implant Solution if I’ve been told I don’t have enough bone for implants?
One of the primary advantages of both traditional All-on-4 and our advanced W-4 Implant Solution is the ability to work with limited bone volume. By strategically placing implants to maximize available bone, we can often help patients who have previously been told they were not candidates for implants.
How long does the All-on-4 procedure take with the W-4 Implant Solution?
The surgical phase of your W-4 Implant Solution can typically be completed in a single day, with your temporary restoration delivered within 48 hours. This is significantly faster than traditional implant approaches requiring multiple surgeries.
