All-on-4 Dental Implants in San Diego
Full arch tooth replacement with just 4 implants
All-on-4 dental implants start at $20,000 per arch at our Carmel Valley office — and most patients leave the same day with a full set of fixed teeth. Dr. Maggie Abadan performs the entire procedure in-house, no referrals needed.
All-on-4 dental implants replace a complete arch of teeth using four precisely angled implant posts — and at Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley, Dr. Maggie Abadan, DDS places the implants and attaches a temporary arch the same day, so you leave the office with teeth. Cost starts at $20,000 per arch and includes surgery, your same-day temporary, and the final custom bridge, with CareCredit financing available.
Most patients who walk in thinking they won't qualify do. The four implants are angled specifically to use whatever bone you have left, which means bone grafts aren't needed in the majority of cases. The day of surgery takes several hours and is done under local anesthesia with sedation available. For the next 4–6 months, osseointegration happens — your bone fuses to the implants. At that point, the temporary arch comes off and your permanent, custom-crafted teeth go in. Six months from now, you can eat a steak.

What is All-on-4 and how does it work?
All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement system that uses just four strategically angled implant posts to support a fixed bridge of 10–14 teeth. At Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley, Dr. Abadan places the implants and attaches a temporary arch the same day, so patients leave with functional teeth. After 4–6 months of healing and osseointegration, the final permanent bridge is placed. Because the implants are angled to use available bone, most patients in the Carmel Valley area qualify without a bone graft.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
The titanium implant posts are designed to be permanent and can last a lifetime with proper care. The prosthetic bridge typically lasts 15–20 years before needing replacement. Patients at our Carmel Valley office maintain their All-on-4 restoration with routine checkups just like natural teeth. Good oral hygiene and regular cleanings are the main factors in long-term success.
Does All-on-4 require a bone graft?
Most patients do not need a bone graft for All-on-4. The four implants are angled at 30–45 degrees to access denser bone toward the back of the jaw, bypassing areas of bone loss. This is one of the main advantages of All-on-4 over traditional implant methods. Dr. Abadan at Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley will review your 3D scan at your free consultation to confirm whether you qualify — the majority of patients with significant tooth loss do.
