All-on-4 uses four titanium implants per arch to support a fixed prosthetic bridge containing 10 to 14 teeth. Two implants are placed vertically in the anterior jaw, where bone density is highest, and two are angled at approximately 30 to 45 degrees in the posterior jaw. This angled placement bypasses the maxillary sinus and inferior alveolar nerve, maximizes contact with available bone, and often eliminates the need for bone grafting procedures.
A systematic review published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine reported a 99.0% implant survival rate for the All-on-4 protocol at 36 months across 4,804 implants studied. Longitudinal data tracking patients for up to 10 years shows implant-level success rates above 94%, with prosthetic survival exceeding 99%. These figures make All-on-4 one of the most predictable full-arch restoration methods available today.
Patients who benefit most from All-on-4 treatment fall into three categories: those missing all teeth in one or both arches, those with severely compromised teeth requiring full-arch extraction, and those wearing traditional dentures who want a fixed, permanent alternative. Dr. Naylor evaluates candidacy during a consultation that includes 3D cone beam imaging to assess bone volume and jaw anatomy.
Good general health and adequate anterior bone density are the primary requirements. Because the posterior implants are angled to engage denser bone regions, many patients who lack sufficient bone for conventional implants still qualify for All-on-4 without grafting. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, active periodontal disease, or heavy smoking require additional evaluation before treatment can proceed.
Consultation and planning. Dr. Naylor captures cone beam CT scans and digital impressions to map your jaw structure. He uses this data alongside 3D-printed surgical guides to plan precise implant positions before surgery begins.
Implant placement. On the day of surgery, Dr. Naylor extracts any remaining teeth, places four implants per arch, and attaches a temporary fixed prosthesis. Most patients leave the office with functional teeth the same day. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation options available for patient comfort.
Healing and osseointegration. Over 3 to 6 months, the titanium implants fuse with your jawbone through osseointegration. During this period, the temporary prosthesis allows you to eat soft foods, speak clearly, and smile normally. Dr. Naylor schedules regular follow-up appointments to monitor integration progress.
Final prosthetic delivery. Once osseointegration is confirmed, Dr. Naylor removes the temporary prosthesis and seats your final custom-crafted bridge. The definitive restoration is fabricated from high-strength zirconia or acrylic and designed to match natural tooth color, shape, and alignment.
| Feature | All-on-4 Implants | Traditional Dentures | 6-8 Individual Implants |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implants per arch | 4 | 0 | 6 to 8 |
| Fixed or removable | Fixed (screw-retained) | Removable | Fixed |
| Bone grafting required | Rarely | Not applicable | Often |
| Same-day teeth | Yes | Yes (immediate denture) | Varies |
| Prevents bone loss | Yes | No | Yes |
| Chewing function | Near-natural | Reduced (25-30% of natural) | Near-natural |
| Treatment timeline | 1 day (temporary); 3-6 months (final) | Weeks for fabrication | 6-12 months (with grafting) |
Traditional dentures restore appearance but deliver only 25 to 30% of natural chewing force and accelerate jawbone deterioration because they sit on the gum surface without engaging the bone. Conventional implant approaches using 6 to 8 posts per arch achieve excellent stability but frequently require bone grafting and a longer treatment timeline. All-on-4 bridges this gap by providing fixed, implant-supported teeth with fewer surgical procedures.
All-on-4 pricing in the Las Vegas area varies based on individual treatment needs. Factors that influence cost include the number of extractions required, whether any preparatory procedures are needed, the type of final prosthetic material selected, and the complexity of your case. During your consultation at Naylor Family Dental and Implant Center, our team provides a detailed cost estimate before treatment begins so there are no surprises.
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental PPO, and Guardian. Many plans provide partial coverage for implant treatment. For patients who need additional financial flexibility, we offer 0% APR promotional financing through CareCredit and Cherry, along with extended payment options through Proceed Finance. Our in-house dental membership plan provides an additional savings path for uninsured patients.
All-on-4 surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for patients who experience dental anxiety. Most patients report that the procedure itself involves less discomfort than they anticipated. Dr. Naylor uses 3D-printed surgical guides that minimize tissue disruption and reduce surgical time, both of which contribute to a more comfortable experience and faster recovery.
Post-operative soreness typically peaks within 48 to 72 hours and is manageable with prescribed medication. Swelling and mild bruising are common during the first week. Most patients return to normal daily activities within 3 to 5 days and transition to a soft-food diet during the initial healing period. How quickly does recovery feel manageable? Many of our Las Vegas patients report eating comfortably within the first two weeks.
Most dental practices in the Las Vegas area refer patients to an external oral surgeon for implant placement, then handle only the final restoration. This fragmented approach means coordinating between multiple offices, explaining your case to different providers, and waiting for separate scheduling timelines to align. At Naylor Family Dental and Implant Center, Dr. Naylor performs both the surgical implant placement and the prosthetic restoration in one Centennial Hills location.
This integrated model eliminates referral delays and ensures one doctor oversees your treatment from consultation through final delivery. When adjustments are needed or questions arise during healing, you contact the same office and the same doctor who performed your surgery. Dr. Naylor also handles supporting procedures like bone grafting, ridge augmentation, and dentures without outside referrals.

All-on-4 dental implants use just four strategically placed titanium posts to support a full arch of 10 to 14 fixed teeth, often in a single appointment.
All-on-4 dental implants are securely anchored into your jawbone, eliminating the slipping and discomfort associated with removable dentures. You can eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently knowing your teeth are firmly in place.
Missing teeth cause the jaw to lose density over time, leading to facial sagging and further tooth loss. All-on-4 implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, helping maintain its volume and preserving your facial structure for years to come.
The titanium implant posts are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. The prosthetic bridge typically provides 15 to 20 years of reliable function. Compared to dentures that require periodic relining and replacement, All-on-4 offers superior long-term value.

The titanium implant posts are designed to last a lifetime when properly maintained. The prosthetic bridge typically functions well for 15 to 20 years before wear requires replacement. Regular dental visits and consistent home care are the two strongest predictors of long-term implant success.
After the initial healing period of 3 to 6 months, patients with All-on-4 implants can eat virtually any food. The fixed prosthesis restores near-natural chewing force, allowing you to enjoy steak, apples, corn on the cob, and other foods that are difficult or impossible with traditional dentures.
One of the primary advantages of All-on-4 is that the angled posterior implants engage dense anterior bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafts. Dr. Naylor assesses your bone volume during the consultation using 3D cone beam imaging. Patients who do need supplemental grafting can receive it at our Centennial Hills office without an outside referral.
All-on-4 prostheses are fixed in place with screws and can only be removed by a dentist. Snap-on dentures clip onto implant attachments and are removed daily by the patient for cleaning. All-on-4 provides greater stability and chewing function, while snap-on dentures offer a lower initial investment with the flexibility of removal.
In most cases, All-on-4 implants are placed immediately after extractions during the same appointment. This same-day approach means you never leave the office without teeth. Dr. Naylor evaluates whether immediate placement is appropriate based on the condition of your existing teeth and jawbone.
All-on-4 surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation options available. Most patients report less discomfort than expected during the procedure. Post-operative soreness typically peaks within 48 to 72 hours and is manageable with prescribed medication. Most patients return to normal activities within 3 to 5 days.
