What Is the All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure?

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%.

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.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Same-Day Temporary Teeth

A fixed, temporary set of teeth is attached to your new implants before you leave our office. You walk out the same day with a full, natural-looking smile and the ability to eat soft foods immediately.

5

Final Permanent Restoration

After three to six months of healing, your permanent prosthesis — crafted from high-strength zirconia or acrylic — is secured to your implants. The result is a durable, beautiful smile designed to last decades.

Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4?

All-on-4 is designed for adults who are missing most or all of their teeth in one or both arches, or who have teeth that are failing due to decay, gum disease, or fractures. It is also an excellent option for current denture wearers who want a permanent, fixed alternative.

  • You are missing all or most teeth in an arch
  • Your remaining teeth are severely decayed or loose
  • You wear dentures but want a fixed, permanent solution
  • You have been told you lack bone for traditional implants
  • You want to restore your ability to eat comfortably and smile with confidence

During your free consultation, our specialists will review your medical history, examine your oral health, and take a 3D CT scan to determine the best treatment path for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4

Have more questions? Call us at (510) 405-7352 or schedule a consultation.

What are All-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 is a full-arch restoration technique that uses four strategically placed dental implants to support an entire set of upper or lower teeth. Two implants are placed vertically in the front of the jaw and two are angled in the back, maximizing contact with available bone. This allows most patients to receive a fixed, non-removable prosthesis — often on the same day as surgery.
How long does the All-on-4 procedure take?
The surgical phase — placing four implants and attaching a temporary set of teeth — typically takes between two and four hours per arch. You walk out the same day with a functional set of teeth. Your final, permanent prosthesis is placed after three to six months of healing, once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone.
Is bone grafting required for All-on-4 implants?
In most cases, no. One of the key advantages of the All-on-4 technique is that the two posterior implants are placed at an angle, which engages more of the existing jawbone. This angled placement often eliminates the need for bone grafting, even in patients who have experienced moderate bone loss. Dr. Jain will evaluate your bone density with a 3D CT scan during your consultation.
How much do All-on-4 dental implants cost?
The cost of All-on-4 implants varies depending on the materials chosen, any preparatory procedures needed, and whether one or both arches are being treated. At Center for Implant Dentistry, we offer a free consultation with a 3D CT scan so you receive an accurate, personalized estimate. We also provide flexible financing options to help make treatment accessible.
What can I eat after getting All-on-4 implants?
During the initial healing period (roughly three to six months), you will follow a soft-food diet to protect the implants as they fuse with the bone. Once your permanent prosthesis is placed and the implants are fully integrated, you can return to eating most foods — including steak, apples, corn on the cob, and other items that denture wearers often have to avoid.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
With proper care, the titanium implants themselves can last a lifetime. The prosthetic teeth typically last 15 to 20 years or longer before they may need refurbishment or replacement. Routine dental check-ups, daily brushing, and professional cleanings help ensure the longest possible lifespan for your restoration.
Am I a candidate for All-on-4 if I currently wear dentures?
Yes — in fact, many of our patients transition from removable dentures to All-on-4 fixed implants. If you are frustrated with dentures that slip, cause sore spots, or limit what you can eat, All-on-4 may be an excellent solution. During your free consultation, Dr. Jain or Dr. Gupta will assess your oral health and determine whether All-on-4 is right for you.
