Considering a full-arch teeth replacement in Roseville, CA? At Paramount Dental, we offer modern, fixed solutions that restore your smile, function, and confidence. All-on-4 Dental Implants use just four strategically placed implants per arch to support your new permanent dentures—often allowing patients to leave with a temporary set of teeth the same day. If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for traditional implants, this graftless approach may be an option.
Our team guides you through every step—from 3D diagnostics and smile design to placement, healing, and final restoration—so you can chew comfortably, speak clearly, and enjoy a natural-looking smile.

Benefits
- Fixed, full-arch solution: A secure, non-removable bridge that looks and feels like natural teeth.
- Fewer implants, graftless concept: Four implants per arch, with angled posterior implants to maximize existing bone—often avoiding bone grafting.
- Streamlined timeline: Many patients receive a same-day temporary bridge after implant placement (final bridge follows after healing).
- Comfort & confidence: No slipping like traditional dentures; improved chewing efficiency and clearer speech.
- Smile design: Customized tooth shape, color, and bite for esthetics and function.
Procedure
- Consultation & 3D planning: Digital scans and x-rays assess bone quality and map implant positions. We review goals, medical history, and smile preferences.
- Implant placement day: Four implants are placed per arch (typically two straight in front, two angled in back). When stability allows, we secure a temporary fixed bridge the same day to protect the implants and restore your smile.
- Healing phase: Implants fuse with the jawbone over a period of 2–3 months.
- Final bridge: After healing, we replace temporary dentures with a precisely crafted permanent bridge for long-term function and esthetics.
- Comfort options: Sedation options are available for eligible patients—ask our team during your consultation. See sedation dentistry.
Candidacy & Alternatives
You may be a good candidate if you’re missing most or all teeth in an arch, have failing teeth, or have been told you lack bone for conventional implants. Good oral hygiene, controlled health conditions, and non-smoking (or willingness to stop) support success.
Alternatives include:
- Individual dental implants with crowns or bridges (more implants, segmental approach).
- Implant-supported overdentures (“snap-in” dentures) that are removable for cleaning.
- Conventional complete dentures (no implants).
- Traditional dental bridges for partial cases.
Find out if you are a candidate for All-on-4 implant dentures. We’ll tailor a plan that matches your health, lifestyle, and goals.
Cost & Insurance
Your out-of-pocket expense depends on the number of arches treated, extractions, any preparatory procedures, sedation needs, and the materials and lab work for your temporary and final bridges. Dental insurance may contribute to parts of care (e.g., extractions, imaging) but often does not cover the full implant bridge. HSA/FSA funds may apply. Financing options may be available.
At your consultation, you’ll receive a transparent proposal outlining timelines, a schedule of visits, and your out-of-pocket estimate.
Aftercare & Maintenance
- Right after surgery: Use cold compresses for swelling, take medications as directed, rest with head elevated, and avoid smoking and alcohol during early healing.
- Diet: Follow a soft-food plan while implants integrate. Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky items until cleared by your dentist.
- Hygiene: Brush gently with a soft brush; clean under the bridge with floss threaders, interproximal brushes, or a water flosser. Use any prescribed rinses as directed.
- Follow-ups: Attend scheduled checks for adjustments and to confirm healing before the final bridge.
- Long-term care: Professional cleanings and exams at recommended intervals keep tissues healthy and protect your investment. A nightguard may be advised if you clench or grind.
All-on-4 Dental Implants FAQs
What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is a full-arch, fixed solution that uses four implants per arch to support a non-removable bridge. The design often eliminates bone grafting by tilting the back implants to use available bone.
How is this different from traditional dentures?
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and can loosen over time. All-on-4 bridges are anchored to implants, so they feel more secure for eating and speaking and help reduce movement and rubbing.
Will I get teeth the same day?
When initial stability is adequate, many patients receive a temporary fixed bridge the day implants are placed. Your final bridge is delivered after healing is complete.
Am I a candidate if I’ve been told I have bone loss?
Very likely! By angling posterior implants to maximize existing bone, All-on-4 can be an option for many patients who were not candidates for conventional implants. A 3D scan confirms suitability.
Is the bridge removable?
No—your daily wear bridge is fixed to the implants. We may remove it at maintenance visits for professional cleaning and inspection.
How do I clean under the bridge?
Use a soft brush along the gumline plus floss threaders, interproximal brushes, or a water flosser to clean beneath the bridge. We’ll demonstrate these techniques during your appointments.
What if an implant fails?
Implant success rates are high, but if a failure occurs, we’ll evaluate bone health, replace the implant if necessary, and enable you to maintain the healthy function of your dentures during healing.
What are my other options?
Alternatives include implant-supported overdentures (“snap-in” dentures), segmental implant bridges, or conventional dentures.
