The All-on-4® Procedure: Step-by-Step

All-on-4 Dental Implants in Albuquerque NM | Osuna Dental Care

1. Initial Consultation & Assessment

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation. Our trained implant specialists - Dr. Chris Kim or Dr. Christopher Graham reviews your dental and medical history, performs an oral examination, and uses 3D CBCT scans to evaluate bone structure, nerves, and sinus placement. This allows for exact implant positioning and ensures a personalized treatment plan designed around your specific needs and goals.

2. Implant Placement

Under local anesthesia or conscious sedation, four titanium implants are placed into the jawbone — two vertical and two angled to maximize bone contact. This unique placement often eliminates the need for bone grafting and shortens the overall treatment time. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed with patient comfort as the top priority.

3. Immediate Temporary Restoration

One of the key advantages of the All-on-4® system is same-day teeth. A temporary full-arch prosthesis is attached to the implants immediately after placement, allowing patients to leave the office with a fully functional and beautiful smile the very same day.

4. Healing & Osseointegration

Over the next few months, the implants naturally fuse with the jawbone — a process called osseointegration. During this period, patients return for follow-up visits so Dr. Graham can monitor healing and make any necessary adjustments. Maintaining proper hygiene and following post-treatment instructions ensures successful integration and long-term results.

5. Final Prosthesis Placement

Once the implants are fully integrated, a custom, permanent prosthesis is designed and secured. Made from premium materials such as zirconia or porcelain, the final bridge restores full function, comfort, and aesthetics — offering unmatched stability compared to removable dentures.

Benefits of All-on-4® Implants

  • Immediate results: Receive a fixed temporary bridge the same day as surgery.

  • Cost-effective: Only four implants per arch reduce time and expense.

  • No bone grafting in most cases: Angled implants maximize bone use.

  • Stable & comfortable: No slipping, clicking, or irritation like dentures.

  • Improved oral health: Prevents jawbone loss and maintains facial structure.

  • Natural appearance: Custom prosthesis blends seamlessly with your smile.

Are You a Candidate?

The All-on-4® system is ideal for patients with significant tooth loss or loose dentures who desire a permanent, full-arch solution. Even patients with low bone density may qualify thanks to the strategic implant placement method. Drs. Chris Kim & Dr. Christopher Graham will perform a detailed evaluation to determine your suitability and create a customized plan for your smile restoration.

Post-Procedure Care

After the procedure, patients receive complete aftercare guidance, including:

  • Instructions for gentle cleaning and hygiene practices

  • Temporary dietary modifications during healing

  • Regular follow-up appointments to ensure long-term success

With proper maintenance — including daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits — All-on-4 implants can last for decades, providing stability, comfort, and renewed confidence.
