All-on-4®️ Dental Implants in San Diego, CA
You don’t have to live with embarrassing floating dentures anymore! With the advance in Implantology, your denture can be secure with the help of implants. And the good news is the cost of implants has decreased drastically. Depending on the case and how much bone you have left, as few as 4 implants on your lower jaw can be placed comfortably will solve the annoying floating dentures. We use a 3D scanner to precisely capture the details of your oral structures and your bite. Dr. Shervin will then build the treatment options virtually and will be able to simulate the surgery and expected treatment outcomes before every beginning treatment. Once the ideal treatment plan has been agreed upon, the surgery will be completed with the use of computed tomography guides, allowing for the exact placement of each implant based on your anatomic needs. Finally, a set of custom-designed artificial teeth will be affixed to the implants. In most cases, between four and six implants will be necessary to replace an entire upper or lower jaw. We will discuss the unique elements of your treatment plan during your initial consultation.
Please note that the additional cost of the procedure depends on several factors, including what system the patient wants as a full-mouth permanent dental Implant-supported fixed bridge. In general, the All-0n-4 implant treatment concept often results in lower costs, making it more affordable because it allows for fewer implants being placed versus traditional implant oral rehabilitation procedures. This treatment option is a cost-effective procedure for those people suffering from loose-fitting dentures, failing teeth or no teeth at all.

FAQ's
Who qualifies for All-on-4 implants instead of traditional dentures?
Ideal candidates have several failing or missing teeth, decent general health, and manageable jawbone condition. The All-on-4 approach uses four implants per arch and often avoids extensive bone grafting. A consultation at the office determines if you’re a good match for this full-arch solution.
How long does the All-on-4 process take from start to finish?
After initial evaluation and imaging, the four implants are placed and a provisional prosthesis fitted—often within a single visit. After the implants integrate (usually about three to four months), the final restoration is placed. Your timeline will be customised and explained at the consultation.
What restoration materials are used and will my new teeth look natural?
The fixed arch restoration is usually made of acrylic or zirconia over a titanium framework, designed to mirror the shape and shade of natural teeth. The goal is a lifelike result both in aesthetics and function, allowing you to smile, speak and chew confidently.
Is there much discomfort or downtime after All-on-4 implant surgery?
Discomfort is generally moderate and managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief. Swelling and bruising are possible. Because fewer implants are used and immediate temporary teeth often placed, many patients resume normal activities within a few days. Lasting Smiles Dental Implant Center+1
How do I maintain my new full-arch implant restoration long term?
Care includes brushing twice daily, flossing or using interdental aids around implant posts, and attending regular cleanings. Avoiding smoking and bruxism improves success rate. Annual check-ups at your dentist in San Diego, CA ensure the implants remain strong and the prosthesis secure.
What if I have bone loss—can I still get All-on-4?
Yes, often. The technique takes advantage of available anterior bone and tilts posterior implants to reduce grafting needs. However, each case is individual. Your surgeon will assess bone density and may recommend supplementary grafting if required for long-term stability. communityrootsfamilydentistry.com
Can I eat normally with All-on-4 implants once healed?
Yes — once your final restoration is in place and implants have integrated, most patients eat confidently. During early healing avoid very hard or sticky foods. After that, you should enjoy a wide variety of foods with chewing power similar to natural teeth.
How does the cost compare to traditional dentures or multiple single implants?
Initial cost is higher than standard dentures, but All-on-4 often provides better function, fewer replacements and less maintenance over time. A full arch with four implants plus fixed prosthesis can be more cost-effective than placing many individual implants for each missing tooth.
What are common signs of implant or prosthetic issues I should watch for?
Check for increased mobility of the prosthesis, persistent pain, swelling or bleeding around implant sites, or changes in bite. If you notice any of these, contact your provider immediately. Early intervention helps preserve success and avoids major complications.
