All-on-4® dental implants give Summerlin residents a permanent, full-arch tooth replacement anchored by just four titanium posts — often completed in a single day. For patients missing most or all of their teeth, or those tired of loose, ill-fitting dentures, All-on-4 restores a stable, natural-looking smile without the daily upkeep of a removable appliance. Drs. Chin & Pharar Dentistry has been based in Summerlin since 2017, and Dr. Robert Chin and Dr. Jessica Pharar use the Nobel Biocare All-on-4® treatment concept — one of the most extensively studied full-arch techniques in modern dentistry — for patients throughout Summerlin, Summerlin North, Sun City Summerlin, and the surrounding 89135/89144/89138 zip codes.
What Are All-on-4® Dental Implants?
The All-on-4® technique replaces a full arch of missing or failing teeth using four strategically placed titanium implants. Two implants are positioned vertically toward the front of the jaw, while two are angled back at roughly 30–45 degrees to engage the denser bone toward the rear of the jaw. That angled placement is often enough to avoid a separate bone grafting procedure — making All-on-4 an option even for patients who were previously told they didn’t have enough bone volume for traditional implants.
Once placed, the implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. A custom-fabricated full-arch bridge then attaches on top, giving you a fixed, non-removable set of teeth that looks and functions like your natural bite.
Flexible Payment Plans Available
Comprehensive dental treatments with flexible financing options to make quality care affordable for everyone.
Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-4 in Summerlin?
All-on-4 is well suited for adults who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both arches — or who are facing full tooth loss from advanced decay, gum disease, or injury. Good candidates are in reasonably good general health, have no uncontrolled conditions that would interfere with healing, and are ready to commit to routine follow-up visits. Many Summerlin patients turn to All-on-4 when they:
- Were told in the past that bone loss ruled out traditional implants
- Are wearing loose, uncomfortable, or slipping dentures
- Want to avoid the longer timeline of placing individual implants one at a time
- Want a full, functional smile the same day as surgery
Smoking significantly raises the risk of implant failure, so we recommend discussing cessation with Dr. Chin or Dr. Pharar before moving forward. A consultation that includes 3D imaging of your jaw will confirm whether All-on-4 is the right fit for you.
Benefits of All-on-4® Over Traditional Dentures
Fixed in Place — No Slipping
All-on-4 implants anchor directly into the jawbone, so they don’t shift, click, or loosen while you eat or talk. Instead of resting on the gums and depending on adhesive like a traditional denture, the restoration is screw-retained and stays put under normal biting force.
Same-Day Teeth
Most All-on-4 patients walk out of our Summerlin office with a full, functional set of temporary teeth on the day of surgery — soft foods and normal social activity resume almost immediately, well ahead of the multi-week denture fabrication timeline.
Protects Jawbone and Facial Structure
Dentures do nothing to slow the bone loss that follows missing teeth. Because All-on-4 implants transmit chewing forces into the jawbone the way natural roots do, they help prevent the sunken facial appearance common after years of denture wear.
Simple to Care For
Brushing twice daily, flossing along the gumline, and keeping up with regular cleanings is all it takes — no adhesives, soaking solutions, or nightly removal required.
A Natural-Looking Result
Your custom arch is shade-matched and shaped to your face, so the final result blends in seamlessly — most patients say friends and family can’t tell it apart from a natural smile.
The All-on-4 Procedure: What to Expect
Consultation and 3D Planning
Every All-on-4 case at our Summerlin office starts with a detailed consultation. Dr. Chin or Dr. Pharar captures a 3D cone beam CT scan to measure bone volume, plan implant positioning, and confirm you’re a candidate. We’ll go over your medical history, sedation options, and the full treatment timeline before any decisions are made.
Surgery Day
Implant placement is done under local anesthesia, with oral or IV sedation available for patients who’d rather be fully relaxed. Any remaining failing teeth are removed, the four implants are placed, and a temporary set of teeth is attached in the same visit — typically 2–4 hours per arch. Most patients manage the following 3–5 days of soreness with prescription or over-the-counter pain relief.
Healing and Osseointegration
Over the next 3–6 months, the implants fuse with your jawbone. You’ll wear your temporary teeth during this stage and stick to a softer diet while the implants heal, with periodic check-ins at our office to track your progress.
Permanent Restoration
Once healing is confirmed, we replace your temporary bridge with the permanent full-arch restoration — adjusted for bite and fit before it’s permanently secured.
How Much Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Cost in Summerlin?
All-on-4 treatment at Drs. Chin & Pharar Dentistry runs $18,000 to $26,000 per arch, depending on the restoration material. That price covers implant placement, 3D imaging, treatment planning, the custom prosthetic arch, same-day temporary teeth, and follow-up care through the end of treatment.
What moves the price within that range:
- Number of arches treated — upper, lower, or both
- Restoration material — acrylic, zirconia, or hybrid
- Whether extractions or bone grafting are needed first
- Anesthesia and sedation choices
Dental insurance typically offers limited or no coverage for full-arch restorations, though some plans help with crown or restorative components. We offer CareCredit, Alphaeon, and an in-office savings plan to make treatment more manageable — and we’ll walk through a full cost breakdown at your consultation before you commit to anything.
Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4 in Summerlin
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
The titanium posts are designed to last a lifetime once fully integrated with the jawbone. The bridge on top typically holds up 15–20 years, compared to the 5–10 year replacement cycle of conventional dentures — assuming good oral hygiene, regular cleanings, and no smoking.
Will the results look natural?
Yes — the custom arch is shade- and shape-matched to your face using detailed impressions, and most patients report that friends and family can’t distinguish it from natural teeth.
Is the procedure painful?
You’re under local anesthesia during surgery, so you’ll feel pressure rather than sharp pain, and IV or oral sedation is available if you’d prefer to be fully relaxed. Afterward, most patients manage 3–5 days of soreness and swelling with standard pain medication.
Can I eat normally afterward?
You can eat soft foods within days of surgery with your temporary teeth. Once your permanent restoration is placed and healing is complete, you’re back to a full diet — including foods that weren’t an option with removable dentures.
What’s the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 or All-on-X?
All-on-X (including All-on-6) uses more implants per arch than All-on-4, which can add stability for certain jaw conditions but typically changes the cost — All-on-X restorations at our office generally range from $12,000 to $20,000 depending on materials and the number of implants used.
How Much Does All-on-X Cost?
All-on-4 dental implants at Drs. Chin & Pharar Dentistry in Summerlin cost between $18,000 and $26,000 per arch, with final pricing depending on the materials used for the prosthetic bridge. Acrylic (PMMA) bridges sit at the lower end of that range and typically last five to seven years, while premium zirconia bridges cost more but hold up 15 to 20 years with proper care.
The All-on-4 price covers extractions, four strategically placed titanium implants, same-day temporary teeth, and the final prosthetic bridge. Bone grafting is rarely needed since two of the four implants are angled to maximize contact with existing bone. We accept dental insurance — including Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Humana, and Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield — plus an in-house savings plan and financing through CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit.
All-on-X full arch restorations typically range from $12,000 to $20,000. This advanced procedure can fully restore your smile with as few as four implants per arch, providing a secure, natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures.
Key Factors Affecting All-on-X Costs:
- Number of Implants Needed: The number of implants and the materials used can influence the final price.
- Bone Grafting or Sinus Lifts: Additional procedures may be required for optimal results.
- Customization and Aesthetics: High-quality, lifelike restorations often come at a premium.
- Insurance Coverage: Most insurance plans offer limited or no coverage for full-arch restorations, so it’s important to confirm your benefits.
Achieving a confident, functional smile shouldn’t be out of reach, which is why we offer flexible financing options through Alphaeon, CareCredit, and our in-office membership plan to make your transformation more accessible.
