Fixed Teeth
The arch is secured to the implants rather than resting on your gums, so nothing comes out at night and nothing shifts around while you eat.
What if your teeth stopped coming out at night? A full arch anchored on four implants stays exactly where it is, which is why All-on-4 implants in Carmichael, CA, have replaced dentures for so many patients. Marconi Dental Group handles both the surgery and the final teeth.
All-on-4 is a technique that supports a full arch of fixed teeth on four strategically angled implants, using the denser bone available toward the front of the jaw. Dr. Dylan Kovar handles these cases from the surgery through the final prosthesis, drawing on live surgical training in implant placement. Dr. Werner Visagé is available when tissue health around the arch calls for additional attention.
The arch is secured to the implants rather than resting on your gums, so nothing comes out at night and nothing shifts around while you eat.
Four well-placed posts can carry a full arch, which keeps the surgery shorter and the cost lower than placing one implant for every single tooth.
Angling the back implants takes advantage of denser bone at the front of the jaw, which lets many patients skip extensive grafting entirely.
Force transfers into bone instead of pressing on soft tissue, so you bite into food directly rather than cutting everything into small pieces.
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Schedule AppointmentCBCT imaging, digital scans, and photographs map your bone volume, nerve position, and sinus anatomy before any part of the case gets designed.
The implant positions and the shape of the new arch are planned together, so the surgery is executed against a design rather than improvised.
Any remaining teeth are removed and four implants are placed under anesthetic, with oral sedation available across the full length of the visit.
A temporary arch is fitted so you are never without teeth, and Dr. Kovar will tell you whether your case allows for that on the same day.
Once the implants have integrated over several months, your definitive arch is fitted, balanced against the bite, and then secured in place.
Failing Arch — Most of the teeth in one jaw are cracked, decayed, or loose, and repairing them one by one would cost more than replacing the whole arch.
Loose Teeth — Advanced gum disease has left teeth mobile, which means any restorations placed on them would sit on a foundation that keeps on giving way.
Unstable Denture — Your denture rocks, slips, or needs adhesive throughout the day, and the ridge underneath it has continued shrinking year after year since.
Restricted Diet — You have cut out foods you used to eat because chewing them is no longer realistic, and meals have quietly become something you manage.
Dr. Kovar plans the implant positions and the final teeth as one case, so the surgery serves the prosthesis rather than the other way around.
Tilting the posterior implants reaches bone that is already there, which is what spares many patients a separate grafting procedure beforehand.
Tooth length, lip support, and midline are set against your face, because a full arch changes your profile as much as it changes your chewing.
Surgery, provisional, and final arch all happen at this office, so the same people who placed the implants handle every one of your follow-ups.

The All-on-4 protocol is designed so a provisional arch can be fitted right after surgery, which is why patients rarely go without teeth. Whether your case allows for that depends on bone quality and stability at placement, and Dr. Kovar tells you before surgery day.
A denture rests on the gum ridge and comes out, while an All-on-4 arch is secured to implants and stays in your mouth. The fixed arch also transfers chewing force into bone, which helps preserve the ridge rather than letting it shrink.
A water flosser and a threader clear the space between the arch and the gum, which is the part that matters most for keeping the implants healthy. Regular hygiene visits include cleaning around the implants and checking the fit of the prosthesis.
Cost depends on how many arches are treated, the materials chosen, and whether extractions are part of surgery, so you receive a written figure covering every stage first. Cherry, CareCredit, and in-house financing are available for treatment of this scale.
Full coverage is rare, though many PPO plans pay toward the extractions or the prosthesis while treating the implants separately. We accept all major providers, work with out-of-network plans, and confirm exactly what applies before treatment begins.
One scan and one conversation will tell you whether this is the right path. Book online for All-on-4 implants in Carmichael, CA, and we will show you the plan before you commit to any of it.
