The cost of All on 4 Dental Implants starts at $12,995 per arch for teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® dental implants, as of 2023.

The teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® dental implants is a treatment plan for patients who don’t want dentures to treat bad teeth, broken caps, failing teeth, broken bridges, and missing teeth.  The treatment plan covers the costs of dental implant procedures, including 4 dental implants, surgical placement, and all-acrylic set teeth for one arch.

To provide the best experience to our patients, we pioneered All-on-4® techniques that are efficient as well as affordable. In fact, our All-on-4® techniques save treatment costs to the tune of $5,000 to about $15,000 per arch, making this treatment plant the most affordable in Los Angeles.

All All-on-4® techniques are carried out at our office to provide better dental care to our patients. Compared to the two-location approach in which two doctors—each charging separate fees, which increases treatment cost—the single location All-on-4® techniques costs much lower.

The AO4 or the All-on-4® dental implants treatment is entirely performed in a single facility. For one full month, the All-on-4® provides the full mouth of teeth-in-a-day treatment.

We know that healthy teeth lead to happy, confident smiles. We look forward to understanding your dental issues and figure out the best treatment plan to get you smiling, eating, and speaking normally, more confidently.

Dr. Kass uses All-on-4® dental implants treatment to bring the smiles back to his patients’ life. In fact, he invests several hours each week following up with patients responding to their emails and phone calls. He also provides various complimentary consultation services such as reviewing x-rays received in the mail and performing free dental exams.

At First Dental Implant Center, we offer financing and low monthly payments, so don’t let the cost be the factor that stops you. Call us to discuss financing before you decide. Feel free to ask any other questions that you may have. Remember, we are here to serve you.

Dental implants and dental health aren’t just about money. They’re about your self-esteem and self-image, not to mention your overall health, as well. It might even affect your career and personal relationships. Think of it as an investment in yourself.

Isn’t all on 4 dental implants Worth it?

Take just a moment, right now. Imagine yourself with a beautiful new set of permanent dentures. All on 4 dental implants, that is. Imagine that you brush your teeth just like you once did when you had natural teeth. No more gloppy, gunky denture creams and strange fizzy cleaning concoctions. Picture it! No more shying away in social situations. Open your mouth and laugh out loud, secure that no one can tell that you’re even wearing a dental bridge. Flash a big smile with pure confidence. Eat what you like, knowing that your bridge is strong enough to handle any food. Be able to chew your food properly for better health. Nutrition actually begins in the mouth, not the stomach.

Then, call us here at First Dental Implant Center. We can be reached at 888-213-0009. A professional, friendly associate will be able to answer all your questions. It’s a good idea to write them down before you call. There’s no obligation, and it’s completely confidential. We look forward to your call.

HOW ARE ALL ON 4 DENTAL IMPLANTS DIFFERENT FROM DENTURES?

Unlike removable dentures, All on 4 implants are a non-removable set of prosthetic teeth that are surgically fixed directly into your gums and jawbone. They can be brushed, cleaned and examined just like one’s natural teeth without the need for any messy adhesives or cleaning solutions like dentures require. Dental implants also tend to be more comfortable and secure than dentures, as they do not press down on your gums, and they function just like your normal teeth. In addition to restoring one’s facial appearance, All on 4 dental implants can help prevent bone deterioration and periodontal disease – a benefit dentures can’t claim.

HOW LONG DOES THE ALL ON 4 DENTAL IMPLANT PROCEDURE TAKE?

The surgery for your All on 4 dental implant procedure takes around two and a half hours per arch. Once your surgery is complete, we set you up with a temporary dental bridge that can be placed immediately after your implants are secured. While your bone and gums take their time to heal, your permanent set of custom prosthetic teeth will be made by our certified lab technicians right here in our advanced on-site laboratory. Once your mouth has fully healed – approximately three months after your surgery – your permanent set of custom teeth will be placed.

How effective are All on 4 dental implants?

All on 4 dental implants are safe and natural-looking teeth replacement solutions that enjoy a 98% success rate among all All on 4 implant procedures. All on 4 dental implants look, feel and function just like your natural teeth, and they can be cared for in the same way. In fact, your dental implants and prosthetic teeth will look and feel so natural that no one would ever know that they are not.

How do I care for my All on 4 dental implants?

Dental implants can be treated and cared for just like your natural teeth. After your procedure is complete, our dental hygienists will ensure you have all the instructions you need for proper care of your dental implants to ensure functional, aesthetic durability that lasts a lifetime. Proper care for your All on 4 dental implants include routine dental exams, daily brushing and flossing, and deep cleanings to ensure their longevity.

Am I a candidate for All on 4 dental implants?

All on 4 dental implants are ideal for candidates who are currently wearing dentures or who are in need of dentures due to missing or failing teeth. Dental implant patients can be any age, but they must be in good health prior to their surgery. To determine if you are a good candidate for All on 4 dental implants, contact Advanced Dentistry for an initial consultation

All on 4 Dental Implants

The All-on-4 Dental Implant Process?

Anyone having unstable, damaged, or missing teeth can greatly benefit from the innovative and efficient technique of All on 4® dental implants. As a lasting, dependable, and proven teeth replacement dental solution, All on 4® dental implants are a more permanent substitute for dentures, and a less damaging choice compared to dental bridges. Moreover, unlike dentures, the All on 4® dental implants are secured into your gums.

All on 4® implants give back your smile through a full set of natural-looking and attractive teeth that are so sturdily affixed that you can eat all your favorite foods and smile with confidence on the same day of the procedure. The dental implants are almost pain-free, and you can be on your way from our dental office with a full set of teeth in just one dental sitting!

What’s The All on 4 Dental Implant System?

In an All on 4® dental implant procedure, four implants in your upper arch or teeth and four in the lower arch or teeth can potentially help replace ALL your teeth.

The All on 4® dental implant system is different from traditional implants. In All on 4®, just four implants are inserted, per arch, into your gums at an angle – instead of an implant for each missing tooth as in traditional implants. The tilted technique – placement at an angle – enables patients with even minimal jaw bone to need less bone grafting work before the placement of the implants.

Due to the greater bone-to-implant contact, All on 4® implants can be utilized on the bone with height as low as 10 mm on the lower or upper jawbone. In many cases, this eliminates the requirement for complicated and costly bone grafting procedures. Moreover, as there are only four implants, the dental procedure costs less, and the recovery time is faster compared to traditional implants.

One of the most significant advantages of All on 4® dental implants is immediate results, enabling patients to return to normalcy in dental function and appearance in just one day!

While traditional dental implant procedures needed one year or more of healing time, with All on 4® dental implants, you can leave our office on the day you receive a temporary set of implant-supported teeth while your new customized prosthetic teeth get designed. And once your implants undergo the required healing period to bond with your jawbone and gum completely, our dentist places your new permanent prosthetic teeth within 3-6 months.

Major Benefits Of All on 4® Dental Implants

  • Permanent And Lasting Results
  • Don’t Involve Frustrating Use Of Removable Appliances
  • Rapid Recovery
  • Bone Grafting Not Needed Most Of The Time
  • Easy To Care For And Maintain Oral Hygiene
  • Eat What You Like
  • Improve Quality Of Life
  • Speak Confidently

The All on 4® Dental Implant Procedure?

Placing the All on 4® implants begins with an initial dental consultation in which Dr. Kass and his well-experienced and certified dental team conduct a comprehensive oral examination, collects vital dental health information, and responds to questions and doubts related to the procedure and the teeth restoration plan.

We also note your medical and dental history and carry out a CAT scan to get a detailed picture of the existing condition of your jaw structure, gums, and teeth. The patient also goes over issues such as fees and dental insurance coverage of the procedure.

Once the dental examination is complete, and Dr. Kass has clarified all your queries, a date for surgery is set for placing the All on 4® implants and the temporary prosthetics in the comfort of our welcoming dental office. Certified lab technicians design your final prosthetic replacement carefully. The prosthetic will appear, feel, and function exactly like your natural teeth. Finally, Dr. Kass will determine if complete healing has taken place, and the implants are completely integrated with your jaw and gums, and only then fix your permanent set of teeth into place.

Advantages Of Teeth In A Day

All on 4® dental implants offer possibilities of Teeth In A Day and ‘same day’ dental implants – both of which provide the following advantages to a patient who wants the least stoppage and inconvenience in dental function and daily living following a procedure.

  • Immediate Implant Placement
  • Temporary Appliances Not Required
  • Patient Not Without Teeth Post-Extraction
  • There’s No Waiting Period

At First Dental Implant Center, we offer the revolutionary teeth replacement solution of All on 4® dental implants, which can be an ideal treatment technique to address missing, infected, or failing teeth, and offer a far more permanent alternative to dentures. It’s a single-day teeth replacement solution that frees you to eat your favorite food soon after your procedure – just like you did with your natural set of healthy teeth.

To know how you can save time and money compared to alternate non-permanent teeth replacement options while protecting the health of gums, teeth, and bone for a long time, please call the First Dental Implant Center at 888-213-0009 to schedule your initial dental consultation with Dr. Kass.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

Full Mouth Reconstruction

Our dental specialist may recommend the comprehensive procedure of full mouth reconstruction, a dental treatment that should be undertaken only by a qualified and competent dentist, if you exhibit specific symptoms and if it is appropriate for your dental condition.

A patient may have a relatively problem-free mouth, like fractured teeth or eroded teeth, but may not realize that complex dental problems could arise in the future.

If you feel you have the following symptoms, seek dental advice from a skilled and qualified dentist and only then invest time and resources in a full mouth reconstruction if it is recommended.

  • Pain in jaw, headache, or pain that forces adjustment to the bite (occlusion)
  • Lost teeth due to trauma or decay
  • Acutely worn tooth or teeth due to long-term acid erosion caused by acid reflux, beverages, and foods, or tooth grinding
  • Fractured or injured teeth

If you feel if you have any of these issues, a full-mouth reconstruction procedure will enable you to reclaim your oral health, smile, and confidence. Call 888-213-0009 to schedule your dental consultation with Dr. Kass at the First Dental Implant Center.

Think Twice About Cheap ‘Vacation Dentistry’ Reconstruction Offers

Some dental practices and dentists in countries such as Mexico offer attractive deals under “vacation dentistry” that combine a vacation or a holiday in a deluxe location with low-cost dental services. But be careful if you decide to take up such an offer.

Our dental specialists have first-hand experience in examining some of these patients after they come back from their “dental vacation,” which turned out to be painful and expensive.

Such dental patients get the full-mouth reconstruction procedure done, but sometimes it is badly-executed and forces the patient to get the procedure redone at additional costs. There have also been cases where the tooth or teeth were found more damaged AFTER the reconstruction procedure.

It’s advisable, therefore, that you value your oral and general health, and only seek a reputed, well-trained, and experienced dentist while investing your time and money in an elaborate and life-changing dental procedure like full mouth reconstruction.

If you have failing or missing teeth, same dental implants or Teeth In A Day are a perfect tooth replacement solution. The procedure replaces teeth – be it multiple, full set, or a single tooth – permanently. Your new set of teeth function, appear and feel exactly like your natural teeth.

Before the development of the prevalent implant technique, placement of a dental implant required multiple dental visits. During these sittings, the dentist would place small titanium implants surgically and then let them heal over a few months. After the implants integrated with the gum and bone tissue, the dentist would attach the abutment and customized prosthetic tooth – with the procedure needing many months for completion.

But at the First Dental Implant Center, we reduce the duration of the procedure dramatically to as little as a day. At our clinic, Dr. Kass replaces your missing or decaying teeth with a permanent implant solution utilizing just one surgical procedure. He uses cutting-edge dental technology, including a high-resolution 3D CT scan and digital planning software, to plan and execute your dental implant treatment, including customizing and placing the final close-fitting restoration in just one sitting.

Benefits of Same Day Dental Implants

Immediate improvement in dental function, aesthetics, oral health, and confidence are the major benefits of dental implants when utilized as a teeth replacement dental solution.

Dentures, too, are a teeth replacement solution, but compared to dental implants, they can’t be removed and don’t fill the gap of your original teeth or tooth. Implants are effective in preventing periodontal disease and are an immediate and long-term solution to stop further worsening of your gum and bone tissue.

Same day dental implants and Teeth In A Day streamline a procedure, which in the past often took several months. Today, it can be completed in a one-day procedure and help you avoid the hassle of multiple dental visits, extra cost, and loss of time. The same day dental implant procedure is as effective as traditional implants, and with proper care can last a lifetime.

Dental Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent and appealing solution to replace missing or extracted teeth. They are better than other alternatives like bridges because no additional teeth need to be altered to place the new tooth.

The entire implant process is performed over the course of a few months. The first part of the process is to install the implant itself, where a screw is placed into the jaw bone. An incision is made in the gum so that the implant can be inserted. Multiple implants can be placed at once if necessary. After the implants are placed the gums are sutured.

The implant must be allowed about 3-6 months to heal, and during this time the jaw bone will form around the implant in a process called osseointegration. During this healing time you can have temporary crowns installed so that you can eat and speak normally and maintain a proper aesthetic appearance for your smile.

Dr. Kass will also determine if you require any of the following procedures before the implant process can begin:

  • Do you require Bone Grafting?
  • Do you require Ridge Preservation?
  • Do you require a Sinus Lift?
  • Do you require Sinus Augmentation?

​Once our dental team completes its thorough evaluation, they schedule your surgical appointment in which small titanium posts are surgically inserted into your gums and jawbone utilizing a local anesthetic. The implants are re-covered and allowed to heal.\​

For the next few months, the posts gradually fuse to your gum tissue and bone, ensuring a sturdy base on which your permanent replacement teeth are placed. If the dental implants are in a visible part of your mouth – as in the front – our dentist puts a temporary prosthetic while your customized prosthetics are designed.

Following sufficient healing, your personalized prosthetic teeth are attached to the implants utilizing a small abutment. Now you are free to take advantage all the benefits of your new, shiny, and healthy teeth – eat the food you want and smile and interact with confidence for many years to come.

To know how dental implants can be the perfect tooth replacement solution for your dental needs like unstable or missing teeth or tooth, call the First Dental Implant Center at 888-213-0009 for a dental appointment with Dr. Kass who is a well-reputed and qualified Implantologist with more than 20 years of dental know-how in placing implants, All on 4® dental implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures.
