How Many Dental Implant Available
Endosteal Implants (Most Common)
Description: These are the most widely used implants. Endosteal implants are small, screw-shaped posts made of titanium or zirconia that are surgically inserted directly into the jawbone.
How They Work: After insertion, they fuse with the bone (osseointegration) and provide a secure base for a prosthetic tooth (crown), bridge, or denture.
Ideal For: Patients with sufficient bone density and overall good oral health.Advantages: Strong, durable, and long-lasting. Can support one tooth, a bridge, or a full arch.
Procedure Time: Typically takes 3-6 months to fully integrate with the bone.
Subperiosteal Implants
Description: These implants are placed under the gum but above the jawbone, rather than being embedded into the bone. A metal frame sits on top of the jawbone, and posts protrude from the gums to support the prosthetic teeth.
How They Work: Instead of fusing with the bone, subperiosteal implants rest on the jawbone. They are typically used for patients who don’t have enough bone height or density and want to avoid bone grafting.
Ideal For: Patients with significant bone loss or those unable to undergo bone augmentation procedures.
Advantages: An option for people who can’t receive traditional implants due to insufficient bone density.
Procedure Time: The process is usually quicker since it doesn’t require bone integration.
All-on-4 Implants
Description: The All-on-4 technique involves placing four strategically angled implants into the jaw to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. It’s a permanent solution for patients missing an entire row of teeth.
How They Work: Four implants are placed in the jaw—two at the front and two angled at the back to maximize contact with the bone. A full set of teeth is then attached to these implants.
Ideal For: Patients who need full-arch restoration and want to avoid the hassle of removable dentures.
Advantages: Fewer implants needed (compared to traditional implants), avoids bone grafting, and patients can often receive temporary teeth on the same day as surgery.
Procedure Time: Immediate function with temporary teeth, final prosthesis placed in 3-6 months after healing.
Mini Implants
Description: Mini implants are smaller, less invasive versions of traditional implants. They are typically used for patients with less bone density or as temporary implants.
How They Work: Mini implants don’t require as much bone, so they are easier and quicker to place. They are commonly used to stabilize lower dentures.
Ideal For: Patients with insufficient bone for traditional implants or for stabilizing dentures.
Advantages: Less invasive, faster recovery, and lower cost. Often do not require bone grafting.
Procedure Time: Can be placed in one visit, and the recovery time is shorter than traditional implants.
Zygomatic Implants
Description: These implants are longer and are anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) rather than the jawbone. They are used in cases of extreme bone loss where traditional implants are not possible without bone grafting.
How They Work: Instead of being placed in the jawbone, the longer zygomatic implants are inserted into the cheekbone, which provides a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth.
Ideal For: Patients with severe jawbone loss, particularly in the upper jaw.
Advantages: Avoids the need for extensive bone grafting and allows patients to receive functional teeth quickly.
Procedure Time: Requires advanced surgical skill but allows patients to receive temporary teeth on the same day as the procedure.
Immediate Load Implants (Teeth in a Day)
Description: This type of implant allows for the placement of a temporary crown or prosthesis immediately after the implant is inserted into the jawbone.
How They Work: Unlike traditional implants that require months of healing, immediate load implants allow the patient to receive a temporary prosthesis on the same day as the implant surgery.
Ideal For: Patients who have enough bone to support the implant at the time of surgery and want immediate results.
Advantages: Reduced treatment time and fewer visits to the dentist. Patients leave with functional teeth right after the procedure.
Procedure Time: The implant and temporary teeth are placed in a single visit, with final teeth fitted after a few months of healing.
Single Tooth Implants
Description: Used to replace a single missing tooth. This involves placing one implant in the jawbone and attaching a single crown on top.How They Work: The implant acts as a root, and the crown functions as the visible tooth. It restores the function and appearance of the missing tooth.Ideal For: Patients who have lost a single tooth due to injury, decay, or extraction.Advantages: Prevents bone loss in the area of the missing tooth and preserves surrounding teeth.Procedure Time: Typically 3-6 months for full integration and placement of the final crown.
Summary of Dental Implant Types:

Explain
Can you explain All-on-4 implants?
The All-on-4 dental implants technique is a popular and effective solution for replacing an entire arch (upper or lower) of missing or damaged teeth with only four strategically placed implants. It provides a permanent, natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures. Here’s a breakdown of the All-on-4 implants:
- Quick Results: Patients often receive a temporary set of teeth on the same day as the surgery.
- Natural Look and Feel: The implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth, giving a confident, secure smile.
- Durable: With proper care, the implants can last a lifetime.
- Improved Oral Health: The All-on-4 method supports healthy bone density, reducing the risk of bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
- Comfortable: Unlike dentures, All-on-4 implants do not cause friction or soreness in the mouth and do not need to be removed.
Key Features of All-on-4 Implants:
Four Implants per Arch:
- As the name suggests, only four implants are used to support a full set of teeth in one arch (either the upper or lower jaw). The implants are surgically placed at specific angles to maximize support and avoid the need for bone grafting in most cases.
Immediate Functionality:
- Patients can leave the clinic with a temporary fixed prosthesis on the same day as the implant surgery. After a healing period of around 3-6 months, the final, more durable prosthesis is placed. This allows patients to enjoy the function and aesthetics of new teeth almost immediately.
Angled Implant Placement:
- Two of the four implants are typically placed at the front of the jawbone, where the bone is naturally thicker. The other two implants are placed at an angle (usually 45 degrees) in the back of the mouth. This maximizes contact with the bone, providing stability and strength even for patients with some bone loss.
Permanent and Stable Solution:
- Unlike dentures, which can shift and require adhesives, All-on-4 implants are fixed permanently in the mouth. They offer a much more natural appearance and function, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Cost-Effective Option:
- Compared to traditional implant techniques that require 6-8 implants per arch, the All-on-4 system is more affordable because it uses fewer implants while still providing full functionality.
No Bone Grafts in Most Cases:
- Since the implants are angled to take advantage of the bone that is present, the need for bone grafting procedures (which can be costly and time-consuming) is often avoided, even for patients with some bone loss.
Ideal Candidates:
- People with an entire row of missing or severely damaged teeth.
- Patients who have some degree of bone loss but want to avoid bone grafts.
- Those looking for a long-term, stable, and natural-looking solution.
In Las Vegas, this technique can range from $19,500 to $50,000 for a full arch, depending on the clinic and materials used. Call us, we will let you know.
Lifespan
What is the lifespan of All-on-4?
The lifespan of All-on-4 dental implants can be very long, with many patients enjoying their implants for 20 years or more, and in many cases, they can last a lifetime with proper care. However, there are a few factors that influence the lifespan of different components of the All-on-4 system:
Lifespan: The titanium posts that are surgically embedded in the jawbone are designed to last a lifetime. Once the implants successfully fuse with the bone (a process known as osseointegration), they typically remain strong and stable as long as the surrounding bone remains healthy.
Factors affecting longevity:
- Oral hygiene: Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is critical to preventing infections like peri-implantitis, which can compromise the health of the bone and gum tissue around the implants.
- Bone health: Healthy bone structure is essential for long-term stability. Bone loss around the implants could reduce their lifespan, but this risk is minimized with regular dental check-ups and good care.
Implant Posts (Titanium Implants):
Lifespan: The prosthetic teeth (also known as the bridge or denture) attached to the All-on-4 implants typically last 10 to 15 years before they may need to be replaced or repaired due to normal wear and tear.
Factors affecting longevity:
- Material quality: The prosthetic teeth are often made from durable materials such as zirconia or acrylic. Zirconia, which is more durable and resistant to chipping, tends to last longer than acrylic.
- Usage: Over time, the prosthetic teeth may experience wear from regular biting and chewing, similar to natural teeth. Habits like teeth grinding (bruxism) can shorten their lifespan.

Prosthetic Teeth (Fixed Bridge)
- Diet: While All-on-4 implants allow you to enjoy a wide variety of foods, avoiding overly hard or sticky foods (like hard candies or ice) can prevent damage to the prosthetic teeth.
- Smoking: Smoking can significantly reduce the lifespan of the implants by increasing the risk of gum disease and impairing healing, which may lead to implant failure over time.
Lifestyle Factors:
- Regular dental visits: Routine dental check-ups and cleanings are essential to maintaining the health of both the implants and the prosthetic teeth. Dentists can identify early signs of wear or potential issues, ensuring long-term success.
- Daily care: Just like natural teeth, All-on-4 implants require daily brushing, flossing, and use of mouthwash to prevent plaque buildup and gum disease. Using a water flosser may also help clean around the implants effectively.

Maintenance and Care:
Risks
Dental Implant Risks:
| Risk | Description | Prevention |
|---|---|---|
| Infection | Bacterial infection at the surgical site. | Maintain good oral hygiene and take antibiotics. |
| Implant Failure | Failure of the implant to integrate with the jawbone. | Ensure proper pre-surgical assessment. |
| Nerve Damage | Numbness or pain from implant placed near nerves. | Use advanced imaging and precise placement. |
| Sinus Problems | Implant protruding into sinus cavity (upper jaw). | Bone grafting or sinus lift as needed. |
| Bone Loss | Lack of sufficient bone to support the implant. | Bone grafting before surgery if necessary. |
| Peri-implantitis | Gum disease around the implant. | Maintain oral hygiene and schedule check-ups. |
| Mechanical Failure | Fracture or loosening of the implant or crown. | Use high-quality materials and avoid grinding. |
| Allergic Reactions | Sensitivity to implant materials (rare). | Consider alternative materials like zirconia. |
| Gum Recession | Gums receding around the implant. | Regular monitoring and oral hygiene. |
| Bleeding | Excessive bleeding during or after surgery. | Provide full medical history and follow guidance. |
| Anesthetic Complications | Risks associated with general or local anesthesia. | Provide full medical history and follow instructions. |
Reducing the Risk of Complications:
- Choose an experienced surgeon: A highly skilled and experienced dental surgeon reduces the risk of complications.
- Good oral hygiene: Keeping the implant site clean is crucial to prevent infections or peri-implantitis.
- Follow post-op care instructions: Following your dentist’s post-surgery care instructions is essential for successful healing and long-term success.
Despite the risks, dental implants have a very high success rate, with studies showing success rates of 95% to 98% over the long term. Most complications can be managed or prevented with proper planning and care.

Success Rate
What Is The Success Rate Of All-On-4?
The success rate of All-on-4 dental implants is generally very high, making it a reliable option for patients seeking full-mouth restoration. Here’s a breakdown of the key success factors:
Long-Term Durability:
With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last 20 years or more, and in many cases, they may last a lifetime.
After 10-15 years, the success rate remains strong, with many patients still enjoying fully functional implants.
Overall Success Rate:
The high success rate is due to the advanced technique, which strategically places implants to maximize support and stability, even in patients with some bone loss.
Studies report a success rate of around 95% to 98% for All-on-4 implants. This means that most patients experience long-lasting, functional implants with minimal complications.
Maria Livingston
Factors Contributing to Success:
Dentist Experience: The skill and experience of the surgeon play a crucial role. Choosing a qualified and experienced implant dentist increases the chances of success.
Osseointegration: The fusion of the implants with the jawbone (osseointegration) is critical to the success of All-on-4. This process is usually completed within 3-6 months, and once fully integrated, the implants provide a stable foundation.
Patient Health: Good overall health, including proper oral hygiene and lifestyle choices (such as avoiding smoking), significantly influences success rates. Conditions like diabetes, if managed well, usually do not affect the success rate, but uncontrolled conditions can increase the risk of complications.
Potential Risks or Complications:
- While rare, some risks include implant failure due to infection, poor osseointegration, or excessive stress on the implants during the healing process. These risks can be mitigated by following post-surgery instructions carefully.
Summary:
With a 95%-98% success rate, All-on-4 implants are one of the most dependable full-mouth restoration options available today. Proper care, regular dental check-ups, and choosing an experienced dental provider can help ensure a long-lasting and successful outcome.

How Do I Know If All-On-4 Is Right For Me?
Determining if All-on-4 dental implants are the right choice for you depends on several factors, including your oral health, bone density, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Here are the key considerations to help you decide:
Steps to Determine if All-on-4 Is Right for You:
- Consultation with a Dentist or Oral Surgeon: Schedule a consultation with a dental implant specialist who can evaluate your oral health, bone density, and overall medical condition.
- Imaging (X-rays/CT Scans): Your dentist will take X-rays or a 3D CT scan to assess the condition of your jawbone and ensure that you have enough bone structure for the implants.
- Discuss Expectations and Goals: Talk with your dentist about what you hope to achieve with the implants in terms of aesthetics, functionality, and long-term outcomes.
- Review Costs and Financing: Make sure to discuss the total cost of the procedure, potential insurance coverage, and financing options to see if the investment fits your budget.
Key Features of All-on-4 Implants:
Missing Most or All Teeth
- Who it’s ideal for: All-on-4 implants are designed for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. If you currently wear dentures or are considering full-mouth restoration, this treatment may be right for you.
Good Oral and General Health
General health: Patients should be in generally good health. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, smoking, or other health concerns can affect healing and increase the risk of complications. If you have these conditions, your dentist may recommend managing them before undergoing the procedure.
Oral health: You should have healthy gums and be free of conditions like active gum disease, as untreated gum issues can increase the risk of implant failure. However, gum disease can often be treated prior to implant surgery.
Bone Density and Structure
If you have significant bone loss, the angled placement of the implants in All-on-4 can often bypass areas with low bone density, making it a suitable option even if you’ve been told traditional implants might require bone grafting.
Sufficient bone density: While All-on-4 implants are designed to work for patients with moderate bone loss (avoiding the need for bone grafts in many cases), you still need a minimum level of healthy jawbone to support the implants. Your dentist will evaluate your bone density using X-rays or CT scans.
Looking for a Permanent Solution
Durability: All-on-4 implants are designed to last for decades, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a long-term investment in your oral health and appearance, All-on-4 might be the right option.
Long-term benefits: If you are seeking a permanent, stable solution for missing teeth and want to avoid the hassle of removable dentures, All-on-4 implants are an excellent choice. They provide a secure, fixed set of teeth that function and look like natural teeth.
Desire for Immediate Results
Final prosthesis after healing: After the healing phase (3-6 months), your final, more durable prosthesis will be placed.
Quick results: One of the main advantages of All-on-4 is that you can leave the dental office with functional temporary teeth on the same day as your surgery. This “Teeth in a Day” approach means you don’t have to go without teeth during the healing period, unlike some other implant procedures that require months without teeth.
Currently Using or Considering Dentures
Less maintenance: Unlike dentures, All-on-4 implants are fixed and do not need to be removed for cleaning. You care for them just like natural teeth—through regular brushing and dental check-ups.
Advantages over dentures: If you currently wear dentures but are frustrated with the discomfort, slippage, or limitations on your diet, All-on-4 provides a stable and secure alternative. It eliminates the need for adhesives and reduces the risk of gum irritation.
Financial Considerations
- Investment in long-term health: All-on-4 implants are more expensive upfront compared to dentures. However, they may prove more cost-effective in the long run due to their durability and reduced need for replacement or adjustments. If you’re looking for a lasting solution, this could save you money over time.
- Financing options: Many dental clinics offer financing options to help make All-on-4 implants more affordable, so it’s worth discussing payment plans with your dentist.
Personal Preference
- Confidence and aesthetics: If having a natural-looking, full smile is important to your self-confidence, All-on-4 implants can deliver excellent aesthetic results. They are custom-designed to fit your facial structure and provide a more youthful appearance.
- Lifestyle: If you lead an active lifestyle or want to avoid the limitations of removable dentures, All-on-4 provides a solution that is secure and durable, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Comfort and Functionality
- Better than traditional dentures: All-on-4 implants provide superior functionality compared to dentures, allowing you to eat almost any food without restrictions and speak with more confidence. If you want a solution that feels and functions like natural teeth, All-on-4 could be ideal.
No Need for Extensive Bone Grafting
- Avoid bone grafts: For patients with moderate bone loss, All-on-4 implants can often avoid the need for bone grafting because the implants are strategically angled to maximize bone contact. If you’ve been told that you need a bone graft for traditional implants but want to avoid this additional procedure, All-on-4 may be a better option.
Personal Preference
- Confidence and aesthetics: If having a natural-looking, full smile is important to your self-confidence, All-on-4 implants can deliver excellent aesthetic results. They are custom-designed to fit your facial structure and provide a more youthful appearance.
- Lifestyle: If you lead an active lifestyle or want to avoid the limitations of removable dentures, All-on-4 provides a solution that is secure and durable, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
