All-on-4 Dental Implants
in Los Angeles

A full arch of permanent teeth supported by just 4 implants. Walk out with a complete, beautiful smile — often the same day as your surgery.

What Is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a revolutionary implant technique that uses just four strategically placed titanium implants to support an entire arch of teeth. By angling the two back implants, Dr. Nam can maximize contact with available bone — even in patients with some bone loss — often eliminating the need for bone grafting.

The result is a fixed, non-removable arch of teeth that looks and functions like your natural teeth. Unlike dentures, All-on-4 implants are permanent — they do not slip, click, or require adhesives.

At ID Dental Implant Center, many All-on-4 patients receive a temporary arch of teeth on the same day as their implant surgery, so they leave the office smiling.

The All-on-4 Treatment Process

From your first consultation to a permanent new smile, here is exactly what to expect at every step.

01

Consultation & 3D Planning

Dr. Nam reviews your CBCT scan to map bone, nerves, and sinuses, then digitally plans the exact position of each implant — no guesswork.

02

Placement & Same-Day Teeth

Four titanium implants are placed under local anesthesia and sedation. Many patients leave the same day with a fixed temporary arch.

03

Healing & Osseointegration

Over 3–6 months the implants fuse with your jawbone, creating a permanent foundation while you wear your temporary teeth.

04

Your Permanent Arch

Once healed, Dr. Nam places your custom, natural-looking final prosthesis — built for a lifetime of confident eating and smiling.

Why All-on-4?

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures rest on your gums, rely on adhesives, and can slip while eating or speaking. Over time they accelerate bone loss and often need relining or replacement every 5–7 years.

All-on-4 is anchored directly into your jawbone, so it never moves. You can eat the foods you love, speak with confidence, and care for it just like natural teeth — brushing and flossing every day.

Fixed and permanent — never removed
Restores up to 90% of natural biting force
Stops the jawbone loss that dentures cause
No adhesives and no nightly soaking
Feels and functions like your own teeth

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does All-on-4 surgery take?

The surgical procedure typically takes 2–4 hours per arch. Many patients receive temporary teeth the same day. The final permanent arch is placed after osseointegration (3–6 months).

Is All-on-4 painful?

Surgery is performed under local anesthesia and sedation — most patients feel little during the procedure. Mild soreness for a few days afterward is normal and well-managed with medication.

How much do All-on-4 implants cost in Los Angeles?

The cost of All-on-4 treatment is not fixed and depends on factors such as bone condition, number of implants needed, additional procedures, and the final restoration selected. A consultation and examination are required for an accurate treatment estimate. We work with CareCredit and Proceed Finance for flexible payment options.

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, All-on-4 implants can last 15–25+ years. The titanium implant posts are designed to be permanent.
