A Full Smile Restoration with Fewer Implants
If you’re missing all or most of your teeth and want a more stable, permanent solution than traditional dentures, All-on-Fours may be the ideal treatment for you. At Civic Dental, Dr. Dunya Antwan offers All-on-Four dental implants in Vista, CA to fully restore your smile using just four strategically placed implants per arch.
This innovative technique anchors a complete set of upper or lower teeth with fewer implants, reducing cost and recovery time while delivering exceptional results.
What Is the All-on-Four Technique?
All-on-Four is a full-arch restoration method that uses four dental implants — two placed vertically and two angled — to support a complete, fixed prosthetic. It’s an excellent solution for patients with extensive tooth loss or poor-fitting dentures.
Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-Fours are permanently attached and never shift or require adhesives. They look, feel, and function just like real teeth.
Key Benefits of All-on-Fours
Patients choose All-on-Fours for their:
- Stability – Implants prevent slipping and allow for normal eating and speaking
- Bone preservation – Prevents jawbone deterioration common with missing teeth
- Aesthetics – Full arch prosthetics are customized to look natural and match your facial features
- Convenience – Fixed design means no daily removal or soaking
- Cost-effectiveness – Requires fewer implants and shorter treatment time than traditional full-mouth restorations
We may recommend bone grafting or ridge augmentation if extra bone support is needed for successful implant placement.
Are You a Candidate for All-on-Fours?
You may be a good candidate for All-on-Fours if you:
- Are missing most or all of your upper or lower teeth
- Currently wear dentures but want a more secure solution
- Have sufficient bone or are open to preparatory grafting
- Are in good oral and general health
- Want a permanent, non-removable restoration
Dr. Antwan will perform a comprehensive exam with digital imaging to determine your eligibility and develop a personalized plan.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation & Planning
We’ll evaluate your smile, take digital scans, and review your options for materials and design. - Implant Surgery
Four dental implants are placed strategically in the upper or lower jaw. In many cases, a temporary prosthetic can be attached the same day. - Healing Period
The implants will integrate with your bone over several months. You’ll continue to wear a temporary denture during this phase. - Final Restoration
Once healed, your custom, permanent arch is secured — providing long-lasting strength, comfort, and aesthetics.
Our implant dentures and dental implant services can be adapted based on your preferences and bone health.

FAQs: All-on-Fours
How long does the All-on-Four process take?
The initial implant surgery can often be completed in one visit. Full treatment (including healing and final prosthetic) typically takes 4–6 months.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report only mild discomfort afterward. We provide full aftercare guidance.
How do I care for All-on-Fours?
You’ll brush and floss like natural teeth, and attend regular dental visits for professional cleanings and maintenance.
What is the difference between All-on-Fours and implant-supported dentures?
All-on-Fours are fixed and not removable by the patient. Implant overdentures "snap on" to implants and can be taken out for cleaning.
Will insurance cover this procedure?
Coverage varies by plan, but our team can help verify your benefits and explore financing options. Visit our Patient Information page for more details.
