All-on-4 Dental Implants in Hillsboro
New Teeth in One Day. No Dentures. No Slipping.
What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a revolutionary technique that replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using just four strategically placed dental implants. Unlike traditional implants that might require 6-8 posts and bone grafting, All-on-4 uses tilted posterior implants to maximize contact with your existing bone.
The "Teeth in a Day" Promise
Because the implants are so stable, we can often attach a temporary set of fixed teeth on the same day as your surgery. You never have to go without teeth or wear embarrassing dentures!
Why Choose All-on-4?
-
Permanent Solution: They are fixed in your mouth. You brush them like real teeth - no soaking in a glass at night.
-
No Bone Grafting: The angled placement often avoids the need for expensive and painful bone grafts.
-
Youthful Appearance: Prevents the "sunken face" look associated with dentures by preserving your jawbone.
-
Taste Your Food: Unlike upper dentures, All-on-4 does not cover the roof of your mouth, allowing you to fully taste and enjoy food.
Our Digital Workflow: Precision & Safety
Dr. Ostovar uses the latest technology to ensure your surgery is safe and predictable.
1. CBCT 3D Scan
We take a 3D X-ray to precisely map your nerves and bone density for optimal implant placement.
2. Digital Planning
We virtually place the implants on a computer before we ever touch your mouth - complete precision.
3. Surgical Guides
We 3D print a custom guide that fits over your gums, ensuring implants go exactly where planned.
4. Final Zirconia Bridge
After healing, we attach your final Prettau Zirconia bridge - the strongest, most natural-looking material.

All-on-4 FAQs
How long does it last?
With proper care, the implants can last a lifetime. The prosthetic bridge may need maintenance after 15-20 years, similar to any dental restoration.
Is it hard to clean?
Not at all! You brush twice a day and use a water flosser to clean underneath the bridge. We'll teach you exactly how during your follow-up visits.
How much does it cost?
Costs typically range from $20,000-$30,000 per arch depending on materials. We offer financing to make this life-changing procedure affordable.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients report surprisingly little pain. We use IV or oral sedation so you sleep through the surgery and wake up with a new smile.
Can I eat normally with All-on-4?
Yes! Once fully healed (3-6 months), you can eat steak, apples, corn on the cob—foods you may have avoided with dentures. All-on-4 restores 90-95% of natural biting force.
Am I a candidate for All-on-4?
Most patients with missing or failing teeth qualify, even those with bone loss who can't get traditional implants. A CT scan and consultation will determine your candidacy.
What's the difference vs traditional implants?
Traditional implants need 6-8 per arch and often require bone grafting, taking 6-12 months. All-on-4 uses just 4 strategically angled implants—often same-day teeth!
What if an implant fails?
All-on-4 has over 95% success rate. In rare failures, the prosthesis can often be supported by remaining implants while a replacement is placed.
What does All-on-4 recovery feel like in the first week?
Days 1–2: swelling, soreness, and minor bruising are normal — rest and cool liquids help. Days 3–5: swelling peaks then begins to subside; transition to warm soft foods like mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs. Days 6–7: most swelling is gone, mild tenderness remains. You'll have temporary teeth the entire time so you can eat soft foods and smile confidently while healing. Pain is well-controlled with prescribed or over-the-counter medication.
Can All-on-4 implants fail, and what are the warning signs?
All-on-4 has a 95%+ long-term success rate, but early warning signs to watch for include: persistent pain beyond the healing period, any mobility or looseness in the arch, swelling or discharge around an implant site, or the prosthesis feeling unstable when biting. If you notice any of these, call us immediately at (503) 614-0198. Early intervention often resolves the issue before it affects your full restoration.
