All-on-4 Dental Implants – San Juan Capistrano, CA
Combine Strength & Beauty with All-on-4
Traditional dentures can easily replace an entire arch of missing teeth, but they’re not without their drawbacks. For patients looking for a more secure hold but who do not want to replace every missing tooth individually, a full denture can often be supported by just four strategically placed dental implants. Known as All-on-4, this procedure can eliminate most of the inconveniences of traditional dentures, including prosthetics that slip, make unexpected noises, or cause painful denture sores. With All-on-4 in San Juan Capistrano, you may even be able to get your new teeth placed the same day as your dental implant surgery!

How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?
When it comes to permanently replacing lost teeth, dental implants are the gold standard. Boasting an impressive 95 percent success rate ten years after placement, this treatment is ideal for anyone who wants to restore their complete biteforce without any of the hassle of removable or temporary restorations.
All-on-4 combines the strength and longevity of dental implants with the convenience of dentures by anchoring a full denture in place with the fewest number of dental implants possible. With this treatment, four dental implant posts will be strategically surgically inserted into the thickest and most stable portions of the jawbone. The two posterior implants (in the back of the mouth) are placed at 45-degree angles, which reduces the need for bone grafting to strengthen the bone. The implants act as tooth roots and are fitted with abutments which secure the denture in place, resulting in a comfortable, reliable smile that won’t slip out of place when you need it most!
Am I A Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
The great news is that most patients who have lost all their teeth on one or both arches are excellent candidates for All-on-4. In fact, even those who have suffered from jawbone deterioration may still be eligible for All-on-4 thanks to its angled placement, which requires less density to support your new smile. In fact, even patients who may have needed bone grafting prior to traditional dental implant surgery may not require one for All-on-4. However, you will still need to be in good oral health and committed and willing to maintain excellent oral health practices, including breaking bad habits like smoking, poor oral hygiene, and you must first treat any preexisting conditions like gum disease.
The Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
There are many incredible benefits of All-on-4 over traditional dentures, including:
- The ability to permanently fix your dentures in place so they can be brushed just like real teeth without needing to be removed.
- A natural looking appearance.
- Realistic feeling.
- Increased biteforce over traditional dentures, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods again.
- The prevention of jawbone deterioration so you stay looking youthful and vibrant longer.
All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants
While traditional dental implants and implant dentures offer a variety of unique perks over old-fashioned dentures, All-on-4 goes a step further, with their own special set of benefits that can’t be found with any other treatment:
- Although traditional implant dentures may require up to eight posts to stay in place, All-on-4 only requires four, meaning they’re not only more cost-effective, but they also require less surgery.
- In many cases, All-on-4 will not require an invasive bone graft procedure, or the need to wait for several months while your graft heals to have your implants placed.
- All-on-4 dentures can often be placed on the same day as your dental implant surgery, which means you’ll be able to enjoy your new smile right away instead of waiting for months to complete healing!
