Four implants, one fixed smile
All-on-4 replaces a full upper or lower arch with a set of fixed teeth anchored on just four dental implants. For patients missing most or all of their teeth, San Marcos all-on-4 dental implants offer a permanent alternative to removable dentures, with a temporary bridge placed the same day as surgery.
Each arch holds 10 to 14 teeth. You go home with a temporary acrylic bridge to wear for about six months while the implants heal, then return for a final prosthesis crafted from titanium, zirconia, or porcelain. Dr. Shahrokh plans every case digitally beforehand, so placement is precise and recovery stays straightforward.
Why patients choose All-on-4 in San Marcos
- Fixed teeth that stay put while you eat and talk, with nothing to take out at night
- Same-day teeth: you leave with a temporary bridge the day of your surgery
- Four implants support the whole arch, which often avoids extensive bone grafting
- Guided, digitally planned placement with no cutting or flapping of the gum tissue
- One treatment can restore an entire jaw, or both arches together for full-mouth cases
What to expect with All-on-4
Consultation and 3D planning
We examine your mouth, talk through your goals, and take the scans we need. A CBCT scan maps your bone and nerves so we can plan exact implant positions before any surgery begins.
Implant placement
Dr. Shahrokh, a member of the Hiossen implant study club, places four implants per arch using a guided surgical plan. Oral sedation is available if you'd like it.
Your temporary teeth
That same day, we fit a temporary acrylic bridge so you can leave with a full set of teeth. You wear it for about six months while the implants fuse with the bone.
Final prosthesis
Once healing is complete, we place your permanent bridge, made from titanium, zirconia, or porcelain, for a natural look and years of durable use.
Frequently Asked Questions
With good home care and regular checkups, All-on-4 implants can last 20 years or longer. Brush and floss them like natural teeth and keep up with cleanings to protect both the implants and your gums.
Most dental plans do not cover All-on-4, but our in-house discount plan and CareCredit financing make San Marcos all-on-4 dental implants more manageable. We review the full cost with you before any treatment starts.
Placing one arch usually takes about two to four hours and is finished in a single day. You leave the same day with a temporary set of teeth, then come back for your permanent bridge after the implants have healed.
There is no upper age limit, and many people with failing or missing teeth qualify, including some who were told they need bone grafting. The surest way to find out is a consultation, where a 3D scan shows whether San Marcos all-on-4 dental implants suit your situation.
