Dental Implants in Aliso Viejo

What Dental Implants Can Replace

Implants are versatile enough to address almost any degree of tooth loss:

• A single missing tooth — one implant topped with a custom dental crown
• Several missing teeth — an implant-supported dental bridge that doesn't rely on neighboring teeth
• A full arch of teeth — a fixed, full-arch restoration supported by implants, including All-on-4 and All-on-6 (covered below)

The Dental Implant Process

1. Comprehensive evaluation and 3D imaging to assess bone structure, bite, and candidacy.
2. Implant placement, performed with your comfort in mind and sedation options available.
3. Healing period, during which the implant fuses with the jawbone over several months.
4. Final restoration, when your custom crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthetic is attached.

If there isn't enough bone to support an implant,bone grafting can rebuild the area first, and any teeth that need to come out can be handled as part of a coordinated tooth extraction visit.

Full-Arch Options: All-on-4 and All-on-6

For patients missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, full-arch implant solutions replace an entire row of teeth with a fixed, non-removable set — often with a temporary prosthetic placed the same day as surgery, so you don't leave without teeth.

• All-on-4 anchors a full arch on four strategically angled implants. By making efficient use of existing bone, it often avoids the need for separate grafting — an efficient, cost-effective path to a full, fixed smile.
• All-on-6 uses six implants to distribute bite force more evenly, offering extra stability for patients with higher bite forces, a larger arch, or certain patterns of bone loss.

During your consultation, we'll compare both options against your anatomy and goals and recommend the best fit. For patients with broader needs, full-arch implants can also be part of a complete full-mouth rehabilitation plan.
