All-on-4® vs. traditional dentures
A conventional upper denture covers the palate and relies on suction; a lower denture often floats. Both accelerate bone loss over time. All-on-4® bridges are fixed in place, leave the palate open so you can taste food fully, and preserve the bone they are anchored in.
Patients commonly describe the change as getting their life back: eating at restaurants again, speaking with confidence, and no longer planning their day around a denture.
Planning a full-arch case the right way
A great full-arch result is equal parts surgery and design. Dr. Khoshsar evaluates your bite, lip line, and facial proportions so the new smile looks proportional—not bulky or overly white. The final bridge material is selected for your bite forces and lifestyle.
What to expect, step by step
- 1
Smile design visit
CBCT scan, photos, and a conversation about the tooth shape, shade, and look you want.
- 2
Surgery day
Remaining teeth are removed, four implants are placed under sedation, and a fixed temporary bridge is attached.
- 3
Healing phase
Over three to six months the implants integrate while you enjoy a soft-to-normal diet on your temporary teeth.
- 4
Final bridge
Your permanent, reinforced bridge is fabricated for strength and a lifelike, stain-resistant finish.
