Last fact-checked: 1 February 2021

Save thousands on the All-on-4® treatment concept in Mexicali on the US-Mexico border with Dental Departures' range of verified specialists.

Provided by Nobel Biocare®, this innovative treatment restores patient's smiles using four surgically placed dental implants, onto which a fixed, permanent bridge is attached.

In Mexicali, Americans from Southern California and Arizona can conveniently drive south and receive world-class dental care for up to 70% less than back home.

What Is the All-on-4® Treatment Concept

This innovative implantology technique uses four implants to replace all of your upper or lower teeth. The implants are inserted into the jawbone at an angle, which increases contact by using the natural support of your bone. This innovative technique may eliminate the need for bone surgery. It is an option for edentulous patients (toothless) who are looking for replacement teeth.

It restores your facial features by replacing your old teeth with sturdy and stable pearly whites. This method may eliminate the need for bone grafts, which helps reduce treatment time and saves money.

Once the final restoration (fixed bridge) has been attached patients are able to eat practically anything they want, with function restored to 90%. 

What Are the Steps Involved in the All-on-4® Treatment Concept?

A complete examination, as well as a review of your dental and general health, will be undertaken. This includes diagnostic tests like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). With the use of 3D CT scanning technology, the specialist can study your case, design a treatment plan, and place the implants in your jawbone.

During surgery, any remaining teeth are extracted before the four implants are placed into the jawbone, providing a secure base onto which an immediate loading denture is attached.

Over the next four to six months (healing period), the implants fuse to the bone - a process called osseointegration. During this time, you'll be advised to stick to a diet of soft and semi-soft foods.

With a follow-up visit to the dentist, the temporary arch of teeth will be replaced with a permanent one.
