Implant Dentistry
Restore your smile with permanent, natural-looking teeth.
Serving La Jolla, Chula Vista & San Diego County, CA.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants are full-arch tooth replacement options that use four or six implants to support a fixed set of replacement teeth. At Elite Smiles of La Jolla and Elite Dental Care, Dr. Seraj plans treatment with CBCT imaging and digital workflows to restore chewing function, comfort, and smile appearance for patients missing most or all teeth.
Missing most or all of your teeth can affect your confidence, comfort, and overall quality of life. With offices in La Jolla and Chula Vista, we help patients throughout San Diego County compare fixed full-arch implant treatment with removable alternatives when choosing the best solution for their needs.
Depending on your anatomy and goals, treatment planning may include bone grafting, implant restoration, or a comparison with removable prosthesis alternatives.
With offices serving La Jolla and Chula Vista, we welcome patients considering full mouth dental implants from San Diego, South Bay, UTC, Del Mar, Bonita, Eastlake, and nearby communities who want fixed, natural-looking replacement teeth.
All-on-4 is a full-arch restoration technique that uses four dental implants to support a complete upper or lower arch of replacement teeth. By strategically angling the posterior implants, many patients can avoid additional procedures and enjoy a secure, long-lasting restoration.
Benefits of All-on-4 include:
All-on-6 uses six implants to support a full arch of teeth. The additional implants can provide greater support and distribute biting forces more evenly across the jaw.
All-on-6 may be recommended for patients who:
The right option depends on your bone anatomy, oral health, restorative goals, and whether you prefer fixed or removable teeth.
| Feature | All-on-6 | Overdentures |
|---|---|---|
| Implants | 6 | Usually 2-4 |
| Teeth | Fixed | Removable snap-in |
| Bone Need | Higher | Varies |
| Cost | Higher | Often lower than fixed arches |
| Support | Enhanced fixed-arch support | More stable than traditional dentures |
| Best Fit | Patients wanting a fixed full-arch restoration | Patients wanting removable cleaning with added stability |
A comprehensive examination and 3D CBCT scan will help determine whether fixed All-on-6 treatment or implant-supported overdentures are the better fit for your smile. Patients who prefer a fixed, non-removable restoration may be candidates for All-on-6, while patients who prefer a removable implant-retained option may consider implant-supported overdentures.
