What It Is

A Full Arch of Fixed Teeth Supported by Just 4 Implants

All-on-4 is a proven full-arch dental implant treatment that replaces every tooth in your upper or lower jaw with just 4 strategically placed implants. The implants support a fixed prosthesis that's screwed into place, not removable. It looks, feels and functions like real teeth.

The genius of All-on-4 is the angled posterior implants. Two implants go straight into the front jaw where bone is densest. Two more are angled at the back, engaging strong bone in front of the sinus cavity. This creates the support of a 6-implant approach with the cost and recovery of fewer implants, and most patients avoid sinus lifts entirely.

You receive a temporary fixed prosthesis the same day surgery is performed. After 3 to 6 months of healing, your final permanent prosthesis is placed. The result is a complete set of teeth that's permanent, never slips, never needs adhesives and lets you eat, speak and smile with full confidence.

The 4 Implants

Where the 4 Implants Go and Why

Strategic implant positioning is what makes All-on-4 work. Two straight in the front jaw. Two angled in the back. Together they support a full arch of fixed teeth.

The Innovation

Why Angled Implants Change Everything

The angled posterior implants are what makes All-on-4 different from older full-arch implant approaches. By tilting two implants at the back, we engage the strongest bone available while completely avoiding the sinus cavity.

  • Most patients skip sinus lifts The angled placement avoids the maxillary sinus entirely, removing the most common reason patients need additional surgery and months of extra healing.
  • Better AP spread Anterior-posterior distance between implants is what supports a fixed prosthesis. Angled placement maximizes that spread for long-term mechanical stability.
  • Engages dense bone The angle directs the implant into the strongest available bone in the jaw, even in patients who have lost bone height in the back from years of denture wear.
  • Same-day teeth become possible Combined with guided surgery and immediate load, the angled approach achieves the high stability needed to place fixed teeth the same day.

Skip Major Grafting

Most All-on-4 Patients Avoid Sinus Lifts

The vast majority of patients qualify for the standard angled approach without needing additional bone grafting or sinus lifts. We confirm with your CBCT scan during the free consultation.

Surgery Day

Your Same-Day Teeth Timeline

Walk in with failing or missing teeth in the morning. Walk out with a fixed full-arch prosthesis by evening. Here's how the day unfolds.

Step 1

Final Prep & Anesthesia

You're settled in, sedated and made completely comfortable. Vitals monitored throughout.

Step 2

Extractions (If Needed)

Any failing teeth in the arch are removed. Site is cleaned and prepared for implant placement.

Step 3

4 Implants Placed

Two anterior straight, two posterior angled. Primary stability verified at 35 to 70 Ncm torque.

Step 4

Multi-Unit Abutments

Specialized connectors are installed on the implants to support the prosthesis attachment.

Step 5

Same-Day Teeth Delivered

Your screw-retained temporary prosthesis is attached. You leave with a full set of fixed teeth.

The Benefits

Why Patients Choose All-on-4

Six reasons All-on-4 has become the gold standard for full-arch tooth replacement.

Same-Day Fixed Teeth

Walk out of surgery with a complete arch of teeth, not a removable temporary or empty mouth.

No Slipping or Adhesives

The prosthesis is screwed into the implants. It never slips during eating, talking or laughing.

Strong Like Natural Teeth

Eat anything you used to enjoy. Steak, apples, corn on the cob. Full bite force restored.

Preserves Jawbone

Implants stimulate bone like natural roots. Stops the jaw shrinkage that happens with dentures.

Natural-Looking Smile

Custom-shaped to match your face, smile line and skin tone. Looks like real teeth, not a prosthesis.

Decades of Stability

The implants can last a lifetime. The prosthesis lasts 10 to 20 years with proper care.

You're Likely a Candidate If:

  • You're missing all or most teeth in an arch
  • You currently wear dentures and want fixed teeth
  • Your remaining teeth are failing and need full extraction
  • You have moderate bone loss but enough for angled placement
  • You want to skip sinus lifts and major grafting
  • You want permanent teeth that look and feel natural
  • You've been told elsewhere "you don't have enough bone"

You May Need More Evaluation If:

  • You have severe bone loss requiring extensive grafting first
  • Active periodontal infection that needs treatment
  • Heavy uncontrolled bruxism (teeth grinding) without protection
  • Uncontrolled diabetes or significant systemic health issues
  • You smoke heavily and aren't willing to reduce
  • You only need a single tooth replaced (consider single implant)
Healing Phases

What Recovery Looks Like

Even though you walk out with teeth the same day, the implants still need time to fully integrate. Here's the realistic timeline.

3–5
Days

Initial Recovery

Mild to moderate soreness. Most patients return to normal activities within 3 to 5 days.

2–4
Weeks

Soft Tissue Healing

Gum tissue heals around the implants and abutments. Soft food diet during this phase.

3–6
Months

Full Bone Integration

Implants fully fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). Soft to moderate diet continues.

6+
Months

Final Prosthesis

Permanent prosthesis placed. Full bite force restored. Eat anything you want.

FAQ

Common Questions About All-on-4

Quick answers to what Albuquerque patients ask us most. Don't see yours? Just call.

How much does All-on-4 cost in Albuquerque?
All-on-4 dental implants at Osuna Dental Care are $15,999 per arch. The all-inclusive price covers 4 dental implants, multi-unit abutments, the same-day temporary prosthesis, the final permanent fixed prosthesis, all surgical fees, CBCT imaging and follow-up appointments. Financing through Cherry, CareCredit and Sunbit makes monthly payments manageable. See our full implant cost guide.
Will I get teeth the same day as All-on-4 surgery?
Yes. All-on-4 is designed for same-day teeth. After the 4 implants are placed and primary stability is verified, multi-unit abutments are installed and a screw-retained temporary prosthesis is delivered the same day. You walk out of surgery with fixed teeth, not a removable denture or empty mouth. Read more about immediate load implants.
Why only 4 implants for a whole arch?
Four strategically placed implants provide enough support for a fixed full-arch prosthesis. Two implants are placed straight in the front jaw where bone is densest. Two implants are placed at angles in the posterior, engaging the strongest bone and avoiding the sinus cavity. This angled placement creates the right AP spread for long-term stability without needing additional implants or bone grafting in most cases.
Will I need a sinus lift or bone grafting for All-on-4?
Most patients don't need sinus lifts or major bone grafting for All-on-4. The angled posterior implants are designed to avoid the sinus cavity entirely by engaging the dense bone in front of it. This is one of the biggest advantages of All-on-4 over traditional full-arch implant approaches. A 3D CBCT scan during your free consultation confirms whether you qualify for the standard approach or need additional procedures.
Is All-on-4 better than dentures?
For most patients, yes. Traditional dentures sit on the gums, slip during eating, accelerate jawbone shrinkage and require adhesives. All-on-4 is a fixed prosthesis screwed into 4 dental implants. It feels and functions like real teeth, doesn't slip, preserves your jawbone through implant stimulation and never needs adhesives. The trade-off is upfront cost. The long-term experience is significantly better.
How long does All-on-4 surgery take?
Surgery for one arch typically takes 2 to 4 hours. This includes any necessary extractions of failing teeth, placement of the 4 implants, installation of multi-unit abutments and delivery of the same-day temporary prosthesis. Both arches done together usually takes a single longer appointment of 4 to 6 hours.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
The implants themselves can last a lifetime with proper care. The fixed prosthesis (the visible teeth) typically lasts 10 to 20 years and may need replacement due to wear. Routine cleanings every 6 months, good home hygiene and night guards if you grind extend lifespan significantly. We monitor your case at every visit to catch issues early.
Is All-on-4 painful?
Surgery is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, so you feel nothing during the procedure. Recovery is typically described as mild to moderate soreness for 3 to 5 days, similar to having teeth extracted. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Pain is well-managed with prescribed medication and over-the-counter options.
Who is a good candidate for All-on-4?
All-on-4 is ideal for patients missing all or most teeth in an arch, current denture wearers wanting fixed teeth, patients with failing teeth that need full extraction, those with bone loss that prevents traditional implants, and anyone wanting permanent teeth that look and feel natural. A 3D CBCT scan determines exact candidacy. Most patients qualify, even those told elsewhere they don't have enough bone for implants.
Can I eat normally after All-on-4?
Soft foods only for the first 3 months while the implants integrate with bone. After full osseointegration is confirmed and the final prosthesis is placed, you can eat virtually anything you ate before, including steak, apples, corn on the cob and crusty bread. The fixed prosthesis handles full bite force just like natural teeth.
What's the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
All-on-6 uses 6 implants instead of 4 per arch. It's typically recommended for patients with extra-strong bone who want maximum stability, or for cases where the additional implants improve long-term mechanical advantage. For most patients, 4 implants provide more than enough support, which is why All-on-4 has become the standard. Your CBCT scan determines which approach is right for your case.
Do you serve patients outside Albuquerque?
Yes. We see All-on-4 patients from across New Mexico including Rio Rancho, Corrales, North Valley, Northeast Heights, Bernalillo, Los Lunas, Santa Fe and surrounding communities. Our office is at 5900 Cubero Dr NE STE B, Albuquerque, NM 87109 with easy parking and convenient appointment times.
