We understand how life-changing it can be when you’re struggling with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures. That’s why we’re excited to offer All-on-4 dental implants right here in San Antonio – a revolutionary technique that can transform your smile in just one day. With All-on-4 dental implants, we can replace an entire arch of your teeth using only four strategically placed implants, giving you immediate stability and natural-looking results that restore both your confidence and quality of life.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 dental implants replace all teeth in one arch using four strategically placed implants. This same-day procedure restores chewing ability and confidence.
All-on-4 dental implants represents a breakthrough in dental implant technology that we’re proud to bring to our San Antonio patients. Instead of the traditional approach that might require 6-8 implants per arch, we use just four titanium implants to support all your teeth. This innovative technique maximizes your existing bone structure and often eliminates the need for bone grafting procedures.
We find that All-on-4 is perfect for our patients who have lost most or all of their teeth due to decay, gum disease, or trauma. It’s also ideal if you’re tired of dealing with ill-fitting dentures that slip and slide. What we love most about this treatment is that it provides you with a permanent, non-removable solution that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth did.
Who Is A Good Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
We find that All-on-4 dental implants works beautifully for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth in one or both arches. If you have failing teeth that need extraction, we can take care of everything in one comprehensive treatment. Many of our happiest patients are those who came to us frustrated with dentures that slip, cause discomfort, or limit what they can eat.
For All-on-4 to be successful, we need you to have adequate bone density in the front of your jaw, be in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the process. We also strongly encourage our patients to be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking, as this significantly improves healing and long-term success.
We do need to consider certain medical factors together. If you have uncontrolled diabetes, are a heavy smoker, or take certain medications, we’ll discuss how these might impact your treatment. We also prefer to wait until after pregnancy for treatment, and any active gum disease needs to be addressed first.

Stability That Doesn’t Flinch
Dentures shift. They slip. They need glue. All-on-4 implants lock into your jaw like natural teeth. You’ll forget they’re not real—until someone compliments your smile.
Chewing Power That Changes Your Diet
With dentures, you’re stuck with soft foods and cautious bites. All-on-4 gives you back 70–90% of your bite force. Crunch apples. Tear into brisket. Eat like you used to.
Bone Loss Isn’t Just Cosmetic
Dentures sit on top of your gums. That means your jawbone slowly shrinks. All-on-4 implants stimulate the bone, keeping your face shape intact and your oral health on track.
Confidence You Can’t Fake
Dentures come with fear of laughing too hard, of eating in public, of forgetting the adhesive. All-on-4 gives you peace of mind. No slipping. No second-guessing. Just you, smiling wide.
Long-Term Value
Dentures might cost less upfront, but they wear out, need refitting, and accelerate bone loss. All-on-4 is a one-time investment that pays off every single day.
Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures snap into place. You’ve got a few implants in your jaw, and your denture clicks onto them. It’s way better than glue. But at the end of the day, you still take them out. You still soak them. You still feel like they’re “not quite yours.”
All-On-4 Implants
This is different. Four implants anchor a full set of teeth—permanently. You don’t remove them. You don’t baby them. You brush, floss, eat, laugh, live. It’s the closest thing to getting your real smile back.
Here’s the real-world difference
One of our patients used to avoid steak night with friends. Too much worry. Too much shifting. After All-on-4? He booked a BBQ the next weekend. Said it was the first time he’d chewed ribs without thinking twice.
