What Is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a proven technique that replaces an entire arch of teeth using just 4 dental implants as anchors. It's the most popular full-arch restoration for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth.

4

4 implants supporting a full arch of teeth

Two straight anterior implants and two tilted posterior implants provide maximum stability with minimal hardware.

Replaces a full denture or severely damaged teeth

Whether you wear dentures or have teeth that are failing, All-on-4 gives you a permanent, fixed replacement.

Fixed (non-removable) — looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth

No adhesives, no taking them out at night. You brush them, eat with them, and smile with confidence.

Also called "teeth in a day"

Temporary teeth are placed the same day as your implants. You walk out with a full set of teeth, not gaps.

All-on-4 Cost: Mexico vs United States

Same implant brands (Nobel Biocare, Straumann, BioHorizons). Same surgical technique. Dramatically different price.

Procedure US Price Mexico Price You Save
All-on-4 (per arch) $20,000-$30,000 $7,500-$12,000 $12,500-$18,000
All-on-6 (per arch) $24,000-$40,000 $9,000-$15,000 $15,000-$25,000
Both arches (All-on-4) $40,000-$60,000 $14,000-$22,000 $26,000-$38,000
Bone graft (if needed) $800-$3,000 $300-$800 $500-$2,200

Even with flights and hotel, most patients save $15,000-$35,000 on full-arch All-on-4 treatment.

All-on-4 vs All-on-6: Which Is Right for You?

Both are full-arch implant solutions. The difference is the number of implants used and the level of support they provide.

All-on-4
  • 4 implants per arch — 2 straight, 2 tilted at 30-45 degrees
  • Suitable for moderate bone loss — tilted implants often avoid the need for bone grafting
  • Less invasive surgery, faster recovery
  • Lower cost — fewer implants means less material and surgical time
  • Mexico: $7,500-$12,000 per arch
All-on-6
  • 6 implants per arch — more anchor points for greater stability
  • Better for extensive cases where maximum support is needed
  • Distributes bite force more evenly across the arch
  • Slightly longer procedure and recovery
  • Mexico: $9,000-$15,000 per arch

Which is right for me?

The choice between All-on-4 and All-on-6 depends on your bone density, jaw structure, and overall oral health. A CT scan or panoramic X-ray is needed to determine which option gives you the best outcome. When you request a treatment plan through MxSmiles, the dentist will review your imaging and recommend the best approach for your specific case — before you travel.

All-on-4 Timeline: What to Expect

The All-on-4 process typically requires 2 trips to Mexico, with a healing period in between.

1

Trip 1: Implant Placement

3-5 days
  • Remaining teeth extracted (if needed)
  • 4 titanium implants placed into the jawbone
  • Temporary teeth fitted the same day — you leave the clinic with a full set of teeth
  • Post-op check before you travel home

Healing Period: At Home

3-6 months
  • Implants fuse with your jawbone (osseointegration)
  • You wear your temporary teeth normally — eat, talk, smile
  • Follow-up check-ins with your MxSmiles coordinator
  • Local follow-up care can be arranged near you if needed
2

Trip 2: Permanent Prosthesis

2-3 days
  • Temporary teeth removed
  • Final impressions taken for your permanent bridge
  • Permanent zirconia or porcelain prosthesis fitted and adjusted
  • Final bite check and care instructions
Single-trip options: Some clinics offer immediate loading protocols where the permanent prosthesis is fabricated and fitted during a single extended visit (5-7 days). This option depends on implant stability and bone quality. Ask about this when you request your treatment plan.

Are You a Candidate for All-on-4?

All-on-4 works for a wide range of patients. Here's who typically benefits most.

Good candidates

  • Missing most or all teeth in an arch
  • Denture wearers wanting a permanent, fixed solution
  • Sufficient bone density (or willing to do a bone graft)
  • Good general health — able to undergo oral surgery
  • Non-smoker or willing to quit during healing period

May need evaluation

  • Significant bone loss — may require grafting or All-on-6 instead
  • Uncontrolled diabetes — blood sugar must be managed first
  • Heavy smokers — smoking significantly affects implant success
  • Blood thinning medications — may need adjustment before surgery
  • Active gum disease — treated before implant placement

Frequently Asked Questions

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a full arch dental restoration technique where an entire set of teeth (upper or lower) is supported by just 4 strategically placed dental implants. The posterior implants are tilted to maximize contact with available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. It is also called "teeth in a day" because temporary teeth can be placed the same day as surgery.

How much does All-on-4 cost in Mexico?

All-on-4 dental implants in Mexico cost $7,500-$12,000 per arch, compared to $20,000-$30,000 in the US. Both arches (full mouth) cost $14,000-$22,000 in Mexico vs $40,000-$60,000 in the US. Prices include implants, abutments, temporary prosthesis, and the permanent fixed bridge. Bone grafting, if needed, is $300-$800 additional.

All-on-4 vs All-on-6 — which should I choose?

All-on-4 uses 4 implants per arch and is suitable for patients with moderate bone loss. All-on-6 uses 6 implants for additional support and is better for extensive cases or patients who want maximum stability. The right choice depends on your bone density, jaw structure, and individual case. A dentist can determine which is best after reviewing your X-rays or CT scan.

How long does the All-on-4 process take?

The All-on-4 process typically requires 2 trips to Mexico. Trip 1 (3-5 days): extractions, implant placement, and temporary teeth fitted the same day. Then 3-6 months of healing at home while the implants fuse with the bone (osseointegration). Trip 2 (2-3 days): your permanent prosthesis is fitted. Some clinics offer single-trip options with immediate loading for qualifying patients.

Is the All-on-4 procedure painful?

The procedure itself is done under local anesthesia or IV sedation, so you won't feel pain during surgery. After the procedure, expect moderate swelling and discomfort for 7-14 days, managed with prescribed pain medication and anti-inflammatories. Most patients report that the discomfort is less than expected and manageable with over-the-counter medication by day 3-5.

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

The titanium implants themselves can last a lifetime with proper care. The prosthetic teeth (the bridge attached to the implants) typically last 10-20 years before needing replacement or refurbishment. Good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding help maximize longevity. Many patients report their All-on-4 lasting well over 15 years.
