All-on-4 Dental Implants Bay Area
A full arch of permanent, natural-looking teeth supported by just four implants — placed and restored within 72 hours. At Center for Implant Dentistry, our implant-focused team has helped thousands of patients replace failing teeth or uncomfortable dentures with a fixed smile they never have to take out.
The Procedure
Four Implants.One Permanent Arch.
All-on-4 is a clinically proven technique that replaces an entire arch of missing or failing teeth using only four dental implants. Two implants are positioned vertically in the front of the jaw, and two are tilted at an angle in the back. This angled placement allows the posterior implants to anchor into denser areas of bone, which often means no bone grafting is needed — even for patients who have lost significant jawbone density.
A custom-fabricated prosthetic arch is then secured directly to the implants, creating a fixed set of teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike removable dentures, the All-on-4 restoration stays in your mouth permanently. You brush it, floss around it, and care for it the same way you would care for natural teeth.
Originally developed by Dr. Paulo Maló in Lisbon, Portugal, the All-on-4 protocol has more than two decades of peer-reviewed clinical research supporting its effectiveness and long-term success rates above 95%.

What to Expect
How All-on-4 Works.Step by Step.
From your first visit to your final smile, here is what to expect at Center for Implant Dentistry.
Free Consultation & 3D CT Scan
Meet with Dr. Sam Jain or Dr. Arpana Gupta for a thorough evaluation. We capture a 3D cone-beam CT scan to map your jawbone structure, nerve pathways, and sinus anatomy — giving us the precision to plan your implant placement down to the millimeter.
Custom Treatment Planning
Using your 3D imaging, our team designs a surgical guide that positions each of the four implants for maximum stability. We discuss your material options, timeline, and answer every question before moving forward.
Implant Placement Surgery
Under local anesthesia or IV sedation, four titanium implants are placed into your jawbone — two vertically in the front and two at precise angles in the back. The angled placement engages denser bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafts.
Permanent Teeth in 72 Hours
Your custom teeth are made in our on-site lab and fixed to your new implants within 72 hours of surgery. No months of waiting, and no removable dentures.
Healing & Follow-Up
Over the next three to six months your implants fuse with the jawbone. We check your bite and healing at follow-up visits so your new smile is built to last decades.
All-on-4 vs Traditional Dentures.Where the Difference Shows Up Daily.
Both replace a full arch. Here is honestly how they differ once you are living with them.
| Aspect | All-on-4 dental implants | Traditional dentures |
|---|---|---|
| Stability | Fixed permanently to implants — no slipping | Rest on gums — can slip and shift |
| Bone Preservation | Stimulates jawbone, prevents further loss | Bone continues to deteriorate over time |
| Eating Ability | Eat virtually anything, including hard foods | Many foods are off-limits or difficult |
| Taste & Sensation | No palate coverage — full taste sensation | Upper denture covers palate, reduces taste |
| Maintenance | Brush and floss like natural teeth | Must remove nightly for cleaning and soaking |
| Longevity | Implants can last a lifetime; prosthesis 15–20+ years | Need relining or replacement every 5–7 years |
| Comfort | Feels like your own teeth | Can cause sore spots and discomfort |

FAQ
All-on-4 questions, answered
How much do All-on-4 dental implants cost in the Bay Area?
All-on-4 treatment at our Fremont office starts at $14,999 per arch, all-inclusive — surgery, implants, sedation, and your fixed teeth. There are no separate charges for the 3D scan, the surgical guide, or your follow-up visits. Financing is available and most patients prequalify in minutes without affecting their credit.
Am I a candidate if I have bone loss?
Very likely, yes. The angled placement of the two rear implants is specifically designed to engage denser bone, which is why All-on-4 often avoids the bone grafting that traditional implants would require. Patients told they had 'too little bone' elsewhere frequently turn out to be candidates once we review the 3D scan.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most patients report far less discomfort than expected. We offer both local anesthesia and IV sedation, so you can choose your comfort level. Post-operative soreness is typically managed with over-the-counter pain relief and settles within a few days.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
The titanium implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime once integrated with your bone. The prosthetic arch typically lasts 15–20 years or more depending on material and care. Zirconia outlasts acrylic considerably and resists staining and chipping.
Will I leave with teeth on the day of surgery?
Yes. A fixed temporary set of teeth is attached to your implants before you leave the office. You never go without teeth. Your permanent restoration is fitted after healing, typically three to six months later.
