Dental implants tooth replacement has come a long way. Dental implants are more durable and have a natural-looking solution for missing teeth. 
However, not all implant procedures are the same. Patients often face a choice between all-on-4 dental implants and traditional individual implants. While both options restore function and aesthetics, they differ in cost, recovery time, durability, and suitability for different patients.
At San Francisco Dental Implant Center, Dr. Alex Rabinovich, a board-certified oral surgeon, specializes in both types of implant procedures. With advanced technology and years of surgical expertise, he helps patients choose the best option for each patient.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 implants are a full-arch restoration that can be done between four and six implants in each jaw. With this technique, patients can get implants done the same day. Dental implants are placed in such a way that uses the available bone and reduces the need for bone grafts in most cases.
What are the Benefits of the All-on-4 Dental Implants:
There is Faster Treatment and Recovery Time: The procedure can be done in one day, with a temporary fixed bridge placed immediately.
More Cost-Effective: Fewer implants mean lower costs compared to replacing each missing tooth with individual implants.
No Bone Grafting for Most Patients: By using existing jawbone, even patients with bone loss can qualify for both dental implant options.
High Stability & Functionality: Implants are securely placed for patients, this will allow for normal eating and speaking.
Traditional dental implants involve replacing each missing tooth individually with a titanium post and crown. Dental implants offer the most natural look and function, but require more time and may involve bone grafting that might be needed for a patient. At San Francisco Dental Implant Center, Dr. Rabinovich uses advanced 3D imaging and precision technology to ensure the procedure and a patient receives the best results. His expertise allows patients to achieve the best possible outcome, whether they choose All-on-4 or traditional implants.
