This innovative procedure allows patients to restore full functionality and aesthetics in a single day, helping them regain their smile and confidence quickly and comfortably.

At San Diego Dental Implants & Periodontics, our All-on-4 process is designed to offer a seamless experience that prioritizes your comfort and delivers long-lasting results. Here’s what the process involves:

1. Personalized Consultation and Detailed Evaluation

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at San Diego Dental Implants & Periodontics. During this appointment, Dr. Akef and our highly experienced team will assess your specific dental situation. We use cutting-edge technology, such as 3D imaging and CAT scans, to examine your jawbone, gums, and teeth. This detailed analysis helps us determine if the All-on-4 procedure is the right choice for you and allows us to create a fully customized treatment plan.

We will also discuss all aspects of the procedure, including timelines, costs, insurance options, and financing solutions, ensuring that you feel fully informed before proceeding.

2. Surgical Placement of Implants and Immediate Temporary Teeth

After your initial consultation, the next step is scheduling the surgery. On the day of your procedure, our skilled team will place four dental implants per arch. Unlike traditional implants, which require several visits over a lengthy period, All-on-4 implants are placed in a single visit, allowing for a much quicker restoration. The implants are strategically positioned at specific angles to maximize bone support and stability, reducing the need for additional bone grafting procedures.

What makes this procedure even more remarkable is that temporary prosthetic teeth are placed on the same day as the surgery. This means you can leave our office with a brand-new set of functional teeth, without the extended healing period typically required with traditional implants. These temporary teeth will look and function like natural teeth, giving you the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence while your permanent prosthetics are being custom-crafted.

​​​​​​​3. Custom Crafting and Placement of Permanent Teeth

Once the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone—a process known as osseointegration that usually takes a few months—you’ll return to our office to receive your final set of permanent prosthetic teeth. These teeth are carefully crafted by our expert technicians to perfectly match the size, color, and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a flawless and aesthetically pleasing result.

These permanent teeth are securely attached to the implants, offering a full-arch restoration that looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth.

Why Choose All-on-4 Dental Implants?

The All-on-4 Dental Implant system offers many benefits over both traditional dentures and conventional implants, making it a preferred choice for many of our patients. Here are some of the standout advantages:

• Same-Day Smile: The most notable benefit of the All-on-4 procedure is that you leave our office with a full set of functional teeth on the day of your surgery. There’s no need to wait months for your smile to be restored.
• Faster Recovery: Because the All-on-4 procedure uses fewer implants and is less invasive than traditional methods, recovery time is shorter, allowing you to get back to normal activities quickly.
• Minimal Bone Grafting: The angled placement of the implants allows for greater contact with the bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting procedures, even in patients with lower bone density. This saves time and money while avoiding additional surgeries.
• Stable, Long-Term Solution: All-on-4 implants provide a permanent solution that is securely anchored into the jawbone, offering a level of stability that dentures cannot match. You’ll be able to eat, speak, and smile without worrying about shifting or discomfort.
• Cost-Effective: Because the procedure only requires four implants per arch, rather than the eight or more implants used in traditional full-arch replacements, the cost is significantly lower while still offering exceptional durability and aesthetic results.
• Natural-Looking and Comfortable: All-on-4 implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Unlike dentures, which can cause irritation or discomfort, All-on-4 implants feel completely natural, enhancing both the look and comfort of your smile.

How All-on-4 Implants Compare to Traditional Implants and Dentures

All-on-4 dental implants offer unique advantages when compared to traditional implants and dentures:

• Less Invasive Than Traditional Implants: Traditional dental implants often require bone grafts, multiple surgeries, and long recovery times. The All-on-4 technique is more efficient, utilizing angled placement that maximizes bone contact, reducing the need for grafts and allowing for faster, same-day results.
• More Comfortable Than Dentures: Dentures rest on the gums and can cause irritation, slipping, or difficulty when eating certain foods. All-on-4 implants, however, are anchored directly into the jawbone, offering a stable and comfortable solution that feels just like natural teeth.
• Quick and Efficient: While traditional implants can take several months or even up to a year to fully complete, All-on-4 allows you to leave our office with a new set of teeth in just one visit, drastically reducing the overall treatment time.

Who Can Benefit from All-on-4 Dental Implants?

The All-on-4 system is ideal for patients who are missing multiple teeth or those who have suffered from severe dental issues that require the removal of several teeth. If you’re tired of the discomfort and hassle of dentures, or if you’re looking for a more permanent, comfortable solution, All-on-4 dental implants could be the perfect option.

Additionally, even patients with minimal bone density—who may not qualify for traditional implants—can benefit from All-on-4 due to the strategic, angled placement of the implants, which maximizes bone support and often eliminates the need for bone grafting.

At San Diego Dental Implants & Periodontics, we are committed to helping you restore your smile and improve your quality of life through our advanced All-on-4 dental implant procedure. Whether you’re dealing with missing teeth, uncomfortable dentures, or severe tooth damage, our team is here to provide a permanent, natural-looking solution that will leave you smiling with confidence.
