The all-on-4 dental implants procedure transforms an entire arch of missing or failing teeth using just four strategically positioned dental implants. This innovative treatment allows you to walk out same day with a beautiful, fully functional smile.
We regularly treat patients dealing with severe decay, failing dental work, or missing teeth that affect how they eat, speak, or feel about themselves. For many, all-on-4 “teeth in a day” offer more than just a new smile — they restore comfort, confidence, and the freedom to live, talk, and laugh without hesitation.

- Permanent solution – Fixed, non-removable teeth
- Eat your favorite foods again with confidence
- Natural appearance – Premium zirconia looks like real teeth
- Preserve facial structure – Prevent bone loss and sagging

What is All-on-4 Technique?
The all-on-4 approach involves:
- Extracting any remaining compromised teeth
- Positioning 4-6 implants per arch
- Attaching a streamlined bridge to these implants
These implants are frequently positioned at precise angles to work around your sinus cavities and make optimal use of your natural bone structure.
This methodology eliminates the requirement for costly bone grafting procedures that involve extended healing periods.
At Monarch Family Dental of Westminster, we position between 4 and 6 implants per arch and secure temporary fixed bridges during the healing phase while your implants integrate with the jawbone.
Premium Zirconia: Superior Material Choice
Once your healing phase is finished, Dr. Rojas and our skilled laboratory technicians will craft your permanent all-on-4 teeth using premium zirconia – an advanced material that significantly outperforms the conventional acrylic (plastic) denture teeth commonly used at other dental practices.
The Zirconia Advantage
1. Outstanding Durability
Zirconia represents a ceramic material that demonstrates remarkable durability and resistance to wear and deterioration, making it ideal for all-on-4 dental restorations.
2. Lifelike Aesthetics
3. Extended Longevity
4. Simple Care
5. Body-Compatible
Determining Your All-on-4 Candidacy
Most patients qualify for the all-on-4 dental implant procedure, including individuals previously rejected due to inadequate bone density for conventional dental implants. Modern techniques utilizing both straight and angled implant placement enable strategic use of your strongest available bone structure.
Perfect Candidates Include:
- Patients missing most or all teeth in one arch
- Individuals with deteriorating dental work requiring complete restoration
- People seeking to avoid removable denture appliances
- Those with moderate bone loss wanting to skip bone grafting
- Patients desiring a permanent, non-removable solution
Your All-on-4 Treatment Journey
Treatment Day: Your Smile Transformation
The actual procedure requires approximately 4-6 hours depending on whether you’re treating a single arch (upper or lower) or both arches (complete mouth). Upon leaving our Westminster facility, your temporary all-on-4 bridge(s) will be firmly secured to your new implants.
Integration Period: 3-6 Months
You’ll wear your temporary bridge(s) for roughly 4 months, allowing your implants adequate time to fuse with your bone and your jaw and gums to settle into a stable, long-lasting position before we create your permanent bridge(s). This integration period guarantees the most precise fit for your final bridges.
Permanent Restoration: Your Lasting Smile
Following complete healing, we’ll start creating your permanent all-on-4 bridge(s). This process requires several visits spanning 5-6 weeks, during which you’ll collaborate with us to design your perfect smile for your lasting teeth.
Integration Period: 3-6 Months
Every Treatment Includes:
- All required extractions
- 4-6 implants per arch (when anatomically feasible)
- Bone grafting when necessary
- Oral conscious sedation
- Fixed temporary teeth
- Premium zirconia final restoration
- All follow-up visits

2. Work Leave Recommendations
3. Adapting to Your New Teeth
After receiving new teeth through all-on-4, adjustment time may be necessary to become comfortable speaking and eating with them. Most patients adapt reasonably quickly, while others may need additional time and effort. Continued use of your new teeth will gradually restore confidence and improve function.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4 Dental Implants
Can I eat normally right after getting all-on-4s?
Following all-on-4 dental implant surgery, you’ll receive functional temporary teeth immediately. However, you must maintain a soft diet initially to promote proper healing. Gradually, as your implants stabilize and your mouth heals, you’ll progressively return to enjoying all your preferred foods.
What does all-on-4 treatment cost?
How long does the All-on-4 procedure take?
Will all-on-4 surgery be painful?
During all-on-4 dental implant surgery, you’ll be under anesthesia, ensuring you experience no pain during the procedure. Following surgery, some discomfort, swelling, and tenderness are common. We provide pain management instructions and medication to maintain your comfort during recovery.
How long will post-procedure pain last?
Following all-on-4 treatment, experiencing some discomfort is common. The initial 48 hours after surgery typically involve the most discomfort. However, pain is usually manageable and should decrease over time as healing advances.
What's the all-on-4 recovery timeline?
Can I get all-on-4s with insufficient bone?
Don’t let one dentist’s opinion discourage you from pursuing all-on-4 dental implants. Various implant placement techniques can achieve successful outcomes. The angled placement technique often enables treatment even when patients have been told they lack adequate bone for traditional implants.
Can I receive all-on-4 on the same day as tooth extraction?
Yes! This actually represents the ideal scenario because you’ll have maximum bone volume on the day your teeth are extracted. The all-on-4 procedure is specifically designed to provide immediate teeth on the same day as extractions.
Do I need a specialist for all-on-4 treatment?
No, you don’t need a specialist for all-on-4 treatment. Dr. Jorge Rojas is a general dentist who has dedicated hundreds of hours to continuing education in implant dentistry. Our doctor continues traveling worldwide to learn the latest techniques in this specialized field, making him fully qualified to perform all-on-4 procedures.
Do you provide all-on-4 financing?
Are all-on-4 bridges attached to implants immediately?
How long will bleeding continue after all-on-4 surgery?
Bleeding after all-on-4 is normal and expected during the immediate post-operative period. Bleeding duration and amount typically subside within the first 24 to 48 hours after surgery. If bleeding continues beyond this timeframe or becomes severe, contact our office immediately.
Will I need to learn how to use my new all-on-4 teeth?
After receiving new teeth through the all-on-4 procedure, you may need time to adjust and learn proper usage. The adaptation process varies among individuals, but with time, practice, and patience, you should become increasingly comfortable and skilled with your new teeth.
Will all-on-4 teeth affect my speech?
After receiving new teeth through the all-on-4 procedure, adjustment time may be necessary to become comfortable speaking with them. Some individuals may experience temporary speech pattern changes, but most patients adapt relatively quickly and regain normal speech.
When can I use a Waterpik following all-on-4 surgery?
Am I too young for all-on-4 treatment?
Age alone doesn’t determine all-on-4 eligibility. The procedure is typically recommended for individuals with multiple missing teeth, severely damaged teeth, or significant tooth loss. Your dentist will evaluate your specific situation and discuss whether all-on-4s are appropriate for your circumstances.
What should I prepare for all-on-4 recovery?
What material comprises the final all-on-4 teeth?
How is primary stability achieved for same-day teeth?
Why choose local treatment over traveling abroad?
Do all-on-4 teeth move or rock?
No, they don’t. Your all-on-4 bridges are rigidly attached to your implants, which are firmly anchored in your jaw. If your all-on-4 teeth begin rocking for any reason, call us immediately for evaluation.
Why is it called "Teeth in a Day"?
Can temporary all-on-4 teeth break?
Can zirconia all-on-4 teeth break?
Can you use my existing implants for all-on-4s?
Unfortunately, no. We cannot use existing implants and they will most likely require removal. This is because existing implants may not be positioned correctly for the all-on-4 technique, and the integration with your current prosthesis may not be compatible with our treatment plan.
Can I remove my all-on-4 bridges myself?
No, you cannot remove your all-on-4 bridges yourself. Only a dentist can remove the bridges. They are securely attached to your implants and require professional tools and expertise for removal.
Will food get trapped under all-on-4 bridges?
Yes, food can become trapped underneath the bridges. That’s why we recommend daily use of a Waterpik and proxabrushes for cleaning. Proper oral hygiene is essential for maintaining your all-on-4 restoration.
How much work time should I take off for all-on-4 implants?
Do you clean all-on-4 teeth professionally?
Yes, we recommend professional cleaning of your all-on-4 teeth at least annually. Regular professional maintenance is important for your restoration’s longevity and your oral health.
Can all-on-4 implants fail?
Will I experience excessive saliva with new all-on-4 teeth?
Do you offer sedation for all-on-4 procedures?
Who created the all-on-4 procedure?
The all-on-4 dental implant procedure was created by Portuguese dentist Dr. Paulo Malo in the late 1990s as a solution for patients with significant tooth loss. Since its introduction, the procedure has gained widespread recognition and acceptance in implant dentistry.
