All on 4 Dental Implants in Costa Rica

All on four implants are a state-of-the-art implantology technique and a minimally invasive solution to problems of the total absence of teeth, all the teeth from the upper and lower arches are replaced with a reduced number of them.

The name All on 4 implants in dentistry comes from the use of four implants in each maxilla. Although sometimes, and depending on the conditions of each patient, it may be necessary to use more implants (generally six), which is called “All on Six”.

Clinical cases have shown that this technique is an excellent option for patients without teeth (total edentulous). 

We work with removable acrylic dentures and supported by Implants which it means you have the option to have permanent dentures.

About All on four dental implants cost: Each side starts from $4,500 to $6,500, important evaluate X-Rays.

Sometimes after the evaluation of X-Rays, we found some of the teeth in good condition however the alternative to get the 4 on 4 dental implants is when you lose a lot of bone and most of the teeth.

The first step to know if you are candidate for the All on 4 dental implants is with any panoramic X-Rays, Photos, or CT scan, or any description.

Considering the scientific evidence and previous cases, the success of this procedure has reached 95%. All on four implants used are the same ones that are placed without using this technique. They are made of titanium, a very resistant and biocompatible material, which is integrated into the bone, bringing positive results, causing no rejection or allergies in most cases. But the difference lies in the inclination of two of the four implants placed in the mouth.

All on 4 Implants in dentistry requires a dentist and a dental hygienist, which is the usual equipment of dental surgeries. Likewise, anesthesia will be applied with conscious sedation on those patients who require it.

Prior to surgery, the patient will have had all the necessary studies, including radiological studies, to know the state of their oral health and to establish the most appropriate treatment.

Once in surgery, remaining pieces are extracted, if any, and the implants that will hold the prosthesis are placed. Once the procedure is done, a temporary prosthesis is adapted to achieve a perfect fit: having a new set of teeth in just one day. With this temporary prosthesis, the patient returns home with a full sense of functionality in his or her mouth.

Later, once the period in which all on 4 prostheses are integrated into the bone (Osseo integration) is over, the provisional prosthesis is replaced by the definitive one.
