All-on-4 Dental Implants in Mexico: What Are They?
All-on-4 Implants in Mexico
All-on-4 is a full mouth restoration procedure in which four dental implants or artificial root screws support the full-arch prosthesis/denture.
- It consists of 2 front implants and 2 rear implants. While the dentists place the front ones vertically, they tilt the rear ones for better support.
- Teeth implants mimic your natural tooth roots. Along with the jawbone, they form a strong foundation for artificial teeth.
- Unlike dentures, all-on-4 implants won’t wobble or shift in your mouth, allowing you to speak and eat comfortably.
A dentist will examine your mouth to confirm your need for all-on-four implants.

All-On-Four Treatment Concept in Dental Implants: A Review Articles
“This concept uses 2 vertical anterior implants in conjunction with 2 distally tilted inclined implants with their apices positioned anterior to the sinus wall or mental foramen (Figure 1). It involves the use of straight and angled multiunit abutments, which support a provisional, fixed, and immediately loaded, full arch prosthesis.”

Afterward, the procedure will continue as below.
Stepwise Procedure of All-on-Four Treatments in Mexico
Depending on the case and individual preference, the implant procedure can take 1 to 3 visits.
Step 1: Evaluation and Treatment Plan
- The dentist will examine your oral cavity. They will take pictures, CT scans, and X-rays to plan the treatment.
- In addition, they will take note of your pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, allergies, etc.
Step 2: Preparation
- The dentist will perform optional or pre-requisite procedures that may increase the success of implants.
- Treatments such as scaling, RCT, and filling reduce the chance of infection.
All-on-4 Implants Procedure
Step 3: Implant Placement
- Your dentist will give you local anesthesia or conscious sedation as required.
- They will use a dental drill to make space for implants.
- They will place the implants in the bone and fit an artificial teeth arch (acrylic prosthesis/ denture) on top once the implants are healed.
- You can start using your new teeth for eating after the dentist places the denture.
Healing Period
The implants will take 6-9 months to heal (depending on your case).
During these months, the implants and the jawbone integrate, a process known as osseointegration.
For candidates with average biting force, the acrylic denture may be the last step of this procedure.
If you have a powerful biting force or chew hard food, you may need a porcelain denture.
Step 4: Porcelain/Permanent Denture (Optional)
- After your bone has healed, you can schedule another appointment for a porcelain prosthesis/permanent denture.
- Porcelain prosthesis/denture is sturdier and recommended if your biting forces are strong.
