All-on-4® Dental Implants in Irvine, CA

All-on-4® vs. Traditional Dentures

Many patients considering full-arch restoration wonder how All-on-4® compares to traditional dentures. Here’s why All-on-4® is the superior choice:

• Fixed & Permanent: Unlike dentures, which must be removed daily, All-on-4® provides a secure, long-lasting solution.
• Improved Chewing Function: Eat your favorite foods without restrictions.
• No Slipping or Discomfort: Traditional dentures can cause sore spots and slip, while All-on-4® implants stay in place securely.
• Prevents Bone Loss: The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone shrinkage and preserving facial structure.
• Natural Look & Feel: Designed to match your facial structure, bite, and smile, providing a lifelike and aesthetic result.

Am I a Candidate for All-on-4®?

All-on-4® is ideal for patients who:

• Have lost most or all of their teeth
• Want a permanent alternative to dentures
• Have adequate jawbone density to support implants
• Are in good overall health with no uncontrolled conditions affecting healing
• Prefer a fast, minimally invasive treatment

Even if you have been told you don’t have enough bone for implants, you may still qualify for All-on-4® since the implants are angled for maximum bone support. If needed, we may recommend bone grafting before implant placement.

The All-on-4® Process: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Consultation & Digital Planning

• We begin with a comprehensive exam and 3D imaging scan of your jaw.
• A custom treatment plan is created using computer-guided technology to ensure precise implant placement.

Step 2: Same-Day Surgery & Implant Placement

• Any remaining failing teeth are extracted if necessary.
• Four strategically placed implants are inserted into the jawbone to support the full-arch prosthesis.
• The angled placement of implants maximizes stability and often eliminates the need for bone grafting.

Step 3: Attachment of Your Temporary Teeth

• A custom provisional bridge is secured to the implants immediately.
• You leave our office with fully functional, beautiful teeth on the same day.

Step 4: Healing & Final Prosthesis Placement

• Over the next few months, the implants integrate with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
• Once healing is complete, we replace the temporary prosthesis with your permanent, custom-designed teeth for long-lasting durability and aesthetics.
