ALL-ON-4® & FULL-ARCH DENTAL IMPLANTS IN ATHERTON

A New Smile with All-on-4® Implants

Experience a life-changing smile transformation with All-on-4® full-arch dental implants, a permanent solution for missing teeth at our Atherton practice. Sometimes called “Teeth in a Day,” this innovative solution restores a complete set of teeth with just four strategically placed implants, giving you a stable, natural-looking smile in record time.

Why Choose Our All-on-4® or All-on-X Implants

All-on-4® (also known as All-on-X or full-arch implants) is a breakthrough in restorative dentistry. Instead of replacing each tooth with an implant, four to six implants are placed at precise angles to support an entire arch of teeth. This approach offers:

Same day results – Patients leave with a full set of teeth the same day
Immediate stability – Angled implant placement allows your new teeth to be secured right away
Minimizes bone loss – Strategic positioning uses existing bone to avoid extensive bone grafting or sinus lifts
Greater efficiency – Fewer implants for full arch support mean reduced surgical time and faster recovery
Natural esthetics – Custom-crafted teeth designed to match natural teeth in shade, shape, and bite for long-lasting confidence

Our All-on-4® Treatment Process

Step 1 – Consultation & Planning
We use 3D scans to evaluate your oral health and bone structure, discuss your smile goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.

Step 2 – Surgery
Damaged teeth are removed, and 4–6 implants are placed at precise angles. A temporary, custom bridge is secured to the implants the same day.

Step 3 – Healing & Integration
Over 3–6 months, implants fuse with your jawbone. You’ll continue wearing your temporary bridge to maintain function and comfort.

Step 4 – Final Full-Arch Bridge
Once fully integrated, your permanent custom bridge is placed, designed for natural aesthetics, optimal function, and long-lasting confidence.

Have multiple missing or failing teeth
Want a stable, permanent alternative to dentures
Experience bone loss that may limit traditional implants
Prefer a faster, more eficient full arch solution than single implants
Desire full chewing function and a confident, natural-looking smile

FAQs About All-on-4® Dental Implants

All-on-4® is an advanced treatment that restores an entire upper or lower arch of teeth with a fixed, full-arch bridge supported by as few as four implants. Unlike traditional dentures, the bridge is permanent and it won’t shift, slip, or require adhesive. At Dental Center of Atherton, each case is carefully customized using 3D imaging to achieve a natural look that complements your bite, facial features, and lifestyle.
Traditional full-mouth implant treatments often require 8–10 implants per jaw and multiple procedures. With All-on-4® and All-on-X, just 4–6 strategically angled implants can support an entire arch, often avoiding bone grafting. This results in faster treatment, lower cost, and quicker recovery for many Atherton, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto patients.
In most cases, yes. Many patients leave our Atherton practice with a secure, natural-looking temporary bridge on the same day their implants are placed. This allows you to smile, speak, and eat soft foods immediately while your implants integrate.
The implant posts are designed to last decades, often a lifetime with proper care. The full-arch bridge may need replacement over time due to natural wear. Routine checkups and cleanings at our Atherton office will help protect your investment and keep your smile healthy, strong, and functional.
Most adults who are missing multiple teeth, wear dentures, or have failing teeth are candidates. All-on-4® is also a strong option for patients told they lack the bone needed for traditional implants. A 3D scan at your consultation will confirm if this treatment is right for you.
All-on-4® implants are placed at an angle to maximize existing bone, often avoiding extensive grafting. If additional support is needed, we provide advanced bone grafting and guided bone regeneration in our Atherton office.
Good daily hygiene is essential. We’ll teach you how to brush and clean under your bridge, and many patients use a water flosser for convenience. Professional cleanings and implant checks every six months are key to long-term success.
Absolutely. Your full-arch bridge is custom-designed to harmonize with your smile line and facial proportions. Many of our Peninsula patients share that friends and family can’t tell the difference between their implants and natural teeth.
Most patients experience mild soreness for a few days, manageable with over-the-counter medication. We offer local anesthesia and sedation to maximize comfort during the procedure.
