All-on-4 Dental Implants in Mission Viejo, CA
What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are a specialized technique that uses only four dental implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth (upper or lower, or both). The implants are strategically placed at specific angles to maximize bone support and eliminate the need for bone grafting in many cases. This technique allows for immediate loading, meaning that in many cases, a temporary set of teeth can be placed on the same day as the implant surgery. Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 implants are permanent, stable, and function just like natural teeth.

What to Expect During All-on-4 Treatment
The All-on-4 procedure typically involves several steps:
- Consultation and Evaluation: We’ll assess your oral health, take X-rays and 3D scans, and discuss your treatment options to determine if you are a good candidate for All-on-4 implants.
- Implant Placement: The four implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with the option of sedation if needed.
- Immediate Loading (in many cases): A temporary set of teeth is often attached to the implants on the same day.
- Healing Period (Osseointegration): The implants need time to fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration. This can take several months.
- Final Restoration Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, the final, custom-made bridge or denture is attached to the implants.

If you have any questions about All-on-4, we’ve got answers.
Anyone who is missing all of their teeth or needs to restore their entire smile is a good candidate for Mission Viejo All-on-4 dental implants. However, if you have multiple healthy teeth, our dentist may recommend an alternative treatment, such as implant-supported bridges or single-tooth implants, rather than removing your healthy teeth. Additionally, we will need to review your medical history (including any medications that you’re taking) and bone density to ensure that you qualify for implant treatment. The best thing to do is reserve a no-obligation consultation with our Mission Viejo implant dentist to find out if you qualify!
The jaw bone supporting your teeth needs chewing and biting pressure to maintain its volume and density. When that pressure is lost because of missing teeth, the jaw bone under the missing teeth starts to dissolve away and the bony ridge that used to hold the teeth sinks. When you have no teeth on the ridge, the entire ridge loses thickness and height and the lower third of your face eventually collapses.
Simply clean your dental implants the same way you would your natural teeth. Brush twice a day and floss around your appliance; we recommend using a water flosser to clean between your All-on-4 and gum tissues.
All-on-4 implants are significantly more streamlined, comfortable, and attractive than traditional dentures. Rather than a full “plate” that covers the entire roof of your mouth, All-on-4 implants are a hybrid appliance that’s similar to a dental bridge. The fixture looks and feels more like natural teeth than any other type of tooth replacement.
Speaking and eating with All-on-4 implants is extremely comfortable, as its slim design mirrors the function of anatomical teeth. Plus, each one is handcrafted to your aesthetic preferences, allowing optimal cosmetic results.
- Most Affordable Implant Option for Full Mouth Reconstruction: Using fewer implants for a full-arch restoration reduces overall costs, making the procedure a more price-effective investment for our patients. At the same time, dental implants are capable of lasting a lifetime. Instead of updating and repairing a removable denture every several years, your All-on-4 investment is one that will likely never need to be replaced.
- Stability and Comfort: The durability of an All-on-4 implant prosthesis far surpasses that of traditional dentures. Because All-on-4 implants are permanently anchored into place, there’s no risk of your “plate” rubbing, rocking, or slipping whenever you talk or eat. The U-shaped design of an All-on-4 treatment follows the natural curvature of your smile, freeing up extra space in your mouth. As a result, you’ll feel more confident talking around friends and enjoying all of your favorite foods. Nothing is off the menu!
- Aesthetics: Each All-on-4 implant treatment is handcrafted to create optimal aesthetic characteristics that enhance your personal smile. From the shape and contour of every tooth to the exact shade and hue of your smile, we’ll help you select a design that brings out your best appearance. In fact, your All-on-4 investment should look so natural that no one will know you have missing teeth.
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keep your All-on-4 or All-on-X implants in excellent condition. Here are some tips to help you maintain your new smile:
- Healthy Diet: Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support overall oral health. Avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage your implants or prosthetic teeth.
- Avoid Smoking: Smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of implant failure. If you smoke, consider quitting to protect your investment and enhance your overall health.
- Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss your implants daily, just like you would with natural teeth. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent damage to the prosthetic teeth.
- Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings with us to monitor the health of your implants and address any issues early.
