All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 dental implants are a full-arch tooth replacement option. Four titanium implants are placed in the jawbone to support a complete set of fixed teeth that stay in place and do not come out for cleaning. At Harmony Dental Care in West Covina, our dentists plan each case with 3D CBCT imaging and digital surgical planning, and many patients leave with temporary teeth on the day of surgery.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

The All-on-4 approach uses two straight implants at the front of the jaw and two implants angled toward the back. The angled placement is designed to make good use of the bone you still have, which is why it often avoids the need for bone grafting.

This is different from traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and can slip or shift while you eat or talk. Because the All-on-4 bridge is anchored to the jawbone, it does not rely on adhesives and is not removed at night.

Who Are All-on-4 Dental Implants For?

All-on-4 is often considered by patients who:

• Have lost all or most of their teeth in one or both arches
• Wear removable dentures and want a fixed alternative
• Have several failing or decayed teeth that need to be removed
• Were told they do not have enough bone for traditional implants
• Want to avoid the longer timeline of placing six to eight separate implants

Whether All-on-4 is the right choice depends on your oral health, your bone density, and your goals. During your consultation, we review your 3D scan, check your bone, and talk through your options.

What to Expect: The All-on-4 Steps

Step 1: Consultation and 3D Planning

Your dentist examines your mouth, takes digital X-rays and a 3D CBCT scan, and makes digital impressions with our iTero scanner. These records are used to plan the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant before surgery begins.

Step 2: Tooth Extraction

Any remaining teeth that cannot be saved are removed on the day of surgery. If needed, socket preservation grafts can be placed at the same time.

Step 3: Implant Placement and Same-Day Temporary Teeth

Four implant posts are placed according to your surgical plan. A set of temporary fixed teeth is attached the same day, so you leave our office with a full, working set of teeth while you heal.

Step 4: Healing Period (3 to 6 Months)

Over the next three to six months, the implants bond with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. During this time you wear your temporary teeth and can eat, speak, and smile as usual. We schedule check-ups to monitor how you are healing.

Step 5: Final Teeth

After healing is complete, your permanent bridge is made from high-strength zirconia or acrylic. The teeth are shaped, colored, and contoured to match your goals and are secured to the implants.

All-on-4 Dental Implants Cost in West Covina

The practice’s own estimate for All-on-4 dental implants in the West Covina area is $18,000 to $35,000 per arch. The final number depends on the material of the final bridge (acrylic or zirconia), whether extractions or bone grafts are needed, and how complex your case is. Your exact fee is set after your consultation and treatment plan.

Many patients find it helpful to know what is included before they start. Ask us to walk through your treatment plan line by line, including surgery, temporary teeth, and the final bridge.

Insurance

Harmony Dental Care accepts PPO and Indemnity plans, Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal, Smile California, and CalOptima. We work with most major dental insurance carriers. How much your plan pays for implant surgery depends on your specific plan, so we do not promise coverage in advance. We offer a complimentary insurance eligibility check before your visit, and our team handles authorizations and claims for our Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal, and Smile California patients.

Payment and Financing

We offer flexible financing with monthly payment plans for elective and major procedures. Ask about options during your visit.

Recovery and Aftercare

You will have some soreness after surgery. Most patients find that discomfort is manageable, and our team monitors your healing at each follow-up visit. Your temporary teeth let you eat and speak normally while the implants bond with your jaw. Follow the care instructions we give you, keep your scheduled check-ups, and call our office if something does not feel right.

The titanium implant posts are designed for long-term use. The final bridge typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more with proper care and maintenance, and your dentist will explain the cleaning routine that fits your bridge.
