A full arch of fixed teeth on just four implants — the most common full-arch approach, designed to use the bone you already have.
All-on-4 replaces a full upper or lower set of teeth with a fixed bridge anchored on four dental implants. The two back implants are angled to make the most of your existing bone, which is why many All-on-4 patients avoid bone grafting entirely. At Tan Khuu DDS in Garden Grove, every case is planned in 3D on a CBCT scan, and your fixed arch is delivered within days of surgery.
[DRAFT — Dr. Khuu to review.] The All-on-4 concept places two straight implants toward the front of the jaw and two angled implants toward the back. Angling the back implants anchors them in denser bone and spreads biting force across the arch — enough support for a full set of fixed teeth without an implant for every tooth.
Some patients — larger arches, softer bone, heavier bites — benefit from six implants instead of four. Neither is "better" universally; the right number is what your anatomy supports, which your CBCT scan determines. See the All-on-X overview for how the options compare.
The same unrushed process as all our full-arch care: consultation and 3D scan, surgery day followed by rest at home, your fixed temporary arch delivered a day or two later, and your final teeth after healing. Details on the All-on-X page.
For most patients, yes — the angled placement was developed specifically to maximize support from four implants. Where your anatomy needs more, Dr. Khuu will recommend All-on-6 instead, based on your CBCT scan.
Often, yes. All-on-4 was designed for patients with bone loss — the implants are angled into the bone you still have. When grafting is genuinely needed, Dr. Khuu performs it.
