What Is the All-On-4 Dental Treatment?
The All-On-4 treatment is a full-mouth dental rehabilitation technique that uses four strategically placed dental implants to support a fixed full-arch prosthesis. This option is designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in one arch and are seeking a functional and aesthetic solution in a relatively short time.
This procedure allows the smile to be restored using fewer implants than traditional methods, making optimal use of the existing bone volume and often eliminating the need for bone grafts
Key Features of the All-On-4 Treatment:
• Uses four titanium implants inserted in specific positions to provide support and stability for the dental prosthesis.
• Ideal for patients with severe tooth loss who want to improve chewing function and facial aesthetics.
• In certain cases, it allows for fixed teeth to be placed on the same day as the implant surgery.
Important Considerations:
• Greater Surgical Precision: Enables accurate implant placement, reducing risks such as misalignment or damage to sensitive anatomical structures.
• Improved Patient Outcomes: By minimizing surgical trauma, recovery time is shortened and aesthetic and functional results are enhanced, increasing overall patient satisfaction.
The All-On-4 Dental Implant Treatment
The All-On-4 dental implant treatment is a widely recommended option in the United States and Canada as a cost-effective solution for full arch restoration. It uses four strategically placed implants to support a fixed prosthesis, allowing full arch rehabilitation with fewer implants and, in some cases, shorter recovery times.
Dr. José Moguel, a specialist in advanced implantology, provides a thorough evaluation to determine whether the All-On-4 treatment is the most suitable option based on each patient's specific needs and oral health condition.
Over 35 Years of Clinical Experience
Throughout his more than 35 years in clinical practice, Dr. José Moguel has treated patients experiencing complications from All-On-4 procedures performed at other clinics. Drawing on this extensive experience, he has developed alternative protocols designed to provide greater long-term stability and reduce maintenance needs.
One such alternative is the patented 3-On-8® treatment, which aims to optimize implant distribution for improved functionality, stability, and longevity.
The primary goal is to offer patients durable, low-maintenance solutions that support long-term oral health and enhance quality of life.
Secure Support and Natural Appearance
The All-On-4 treatment provides a stable and secure foundation for fixed teeth using only four strategically positioned implants. This not only restores chewing ability but also delivers an aesthetic outcome that closely resembles natural teeth.
Fast and Minimally Invasive Treatment
Compared to traditional methods, this technique reduces the need for bone grafts and shortens recovery time—enabling patients to enjoy long-lasting results more quickly and comfortably
Immediate Improvement in Quality of Life
Thanks to the All-On-4 technique, patients can smile, eat, and speak confidently in a short time—benefiting from a functional, resilient, and visually attractive oral rehabilitation
Treatment Process Overview
1. Digital Diagnosis and Planning
The initial consultation includes a full evaluation of your general and oral health using X-rays, 3D scans, and diagnostic models. With this data, a personalized plan is created using specialized software, impressions are taken, and a 3D-printed surgical guide is developed.
2. Pre-Surgical Preparation
Before surgery, oral health is optimized through necessary extractions, bone leveling, or grafts. Preventive medications are prescribed, and anesthesia or sedation options are reviewed to ensure patient comfort.
3. Strategic Implant Placement
​ Implants are carefully inserted following protocol, using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. Additional grafts may be performed if needed to reinforce bone structure.
4. Immediate Provisional Prosthesis
On the same day or shortly after surgery, a temporary functional prosthesis is placed. It is designed to provide comfort and support during the healing and implant integration phase.
5. Recovery and Postoperative Care
Detailed instructions are provided for oral hygiene, soft diet, and symptom management. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and address any complications early.
6. Final Prosthesis Placement and Maintenance
After full implant integration, a custom, high-strength final prosthesis is designed and placed. Regular maintenance visits are scheduled to preserve oral health and ensure long-term success of the treatment.
