Hybrid (Acrylic/Titanium)

Budget‑friendly fixed option using titanium bar with acrylic teeth and gum‑colored material.

Removable Overdenture

Implant‑retained denture that snaps on/off. Most economical implant option with strong retention.

Full-Arch Implants FAQ

Common questions from Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, and Peninsula patients considering All-on-4 or All-on-6 dental implants.

Who handles All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants at Carlmont Dental Care?

All-on-4 and All-on-6 cases at Carlmont Dental Care are planned and placed by implant specialist Dr. Shun Chien at our Belmont, CA office. Dr. Chien handles single-tooth implants, full-arch implant cases, and bone graft surgery, working alongside periodontist Dr. Trung Nguyen when gum or bone preparation is needed.

What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants?

All-on-4 uses four implants per arch to support a full-arch fixed bridge; All-on-6 uses six implants per arch for added stability, often recommended for patients with more bone loss or those needing a larger restoration. The right approach depends on bone volume, bite forces, and case-specific planning, which is confirmed with 3D imaging at consultation.

How long does All-on-4 treatment take from start to finish?

Most All-on-4 cases at Carlmont Dental Care follow a same-day immediate-load protocol: extractions, implant placement, and a temporary fixed bridge are completed in one surgical visit. The final zirconia or ceramic bridge is delivered after 3–6 months of healing once osseointegration is confirmed.

Do you offer bone grafts before dental implants?

Yes. When 3D imaging shows insufficient bone volume, Carlmont Dental Care offers bone graft surgery (socket preservation, ridge augmentation, sinus lift) to build the foundation required for stable implant placement. Bone grafting is often planned together with periodontal care by Dr. Trung Nguyen.

Does dental insurance cover full-arch implants like All-on-4?

PPO plans (Delta Dental, Aetna, MetLife, Cigna, Guardian) often cover portions of implant treatment — extractions, exam, bone graft, and sometimes the implant itself. The fixed bridge component is typically out of pocket. Carlmont Dental Care verifies benefits and provides a written estimate before treatment, and 0% APR financing through CareCredit is available for the patient portion.
