Missing teeth can affect everything from your ability to eat comfortably to how confident you feel when you smile. While traditional dentures may seem like the go-to option, they aren’t always the most secure or natural-feeling choice. That’s why many of our patients at Laguna Dental & Orthodontics are choosing All-on-4 dental implants as a lasting, life-changing solution.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is a specialized dental implant technique used to replace a full arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. These implants support a custom-made prosthetic that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
Unlike dentures, which rest on the gums and can shift or require adhesives, All-on-4 implants are fixed in place. That means more stability, more confidence, and more freedom to enjoy your life.
Why Patients Choose All-on-4
Here are just a few reasons patients in Elk Grove are turning to All-on-4:
- Fewer implants, full results. Just four implants are used to secure an entire arch of teeth.
- Fast recovery and results. In many cases, patients leave with a temporary set of teeth on the same day.
- Long-term durability. With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last for decades.
- No more slipping or discomfort. The prosthesis is secure, so you can eat, speak, and smile without worry.
- Bone preservation. Implants help maintain the jawbone structure, preventing facial sagging over time.
What to Expect During Treatment
The All-on-4 process is thoughtfully designed to deliver results quickly and comfortably:
- Consultation and planning. We use 3D imaging and digital scans to evaluate your bone structure and plan your treatment.
- Implant placement. Four implants are placed in your upper or lower jaw, often without the need for bone grafting.
- Temporary prosthesis. You’ll leave your appointment with a natural-looking set of teeth while your implants heal.
- Final restoration. After healing, your custom-made permanent prosthesis is placed for a complete and confident smile.
Our team ensures every step is tailored to your needs, using advanced tools to deliver safe, predictable results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
All-on-4 is ideal for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, or who are looking to upgrade from traditional dentures. You should be in generally good health and have enough jawbone to support the implants, although bone grafting is not always required.
The best way to know if All-on-4 is right for you is to come in for a consultation.
