Why Patients Choose Mantena Dental for All-on-4 in El Dorado Hills
Dr. Mantena's Dual Surgical and Restorative Training
Few dentists hold the combination of training that Dr. Mantena offers. He completed his general dentistry residency at USC and then earned a fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Advanced implant training at the Kois Center and PIKOS Institute further sharpened his ability to plan and place full-arch cases with precision. This means one doctor oversees your implant placement and restoration from start to finish, reducing treatment time and coordination.
Advanced Technology: 3D CBCT Scanning and Computer-Guided Placement
Every All-on-4 case begins with a high-resolution 3D CBCT scan. The scan maps your bone density, nerve pathways, and sinus positions in detail. Using this data, Dr. Mantena places your implants with computer-guided surgical guides. That leads to more accurate angles, lower complication risk, and often shorter recovery compared with traditional freehand placement. Patients regularly mention how impressed they are by the technology in our newly built practice.
What All-on-4 Dental Implants Can Do for You
Missing teeth affect more than your smile. Bone loss in the jaw can make your face appear sunken, and eating your favorite foods becomes a struggle. All-on-4 replaces an entire arch using just four strategically placed implants per jaw. The result is a fixed restoration that feels and functions like natural teeth. You regain the ability to chew steak, apples, and crunchy vegetables. Your face regains its natural shape. And the confidence that comes from laughing and speaking without worry is something patients describe as life-changing.
Who Is a Candidate for Full-Arch Implants?
If you have multiple failing teeth, are currently wearing a denture that no longer fits well, or have been told you lack enough bone for individual implants, All-on-4 may be an option. Because the posterior implants are angled, they often anchor into denser bone further back in the jaw, reducing the need for grafting. The best way to know for sure is a 3D scan and exam with Dr. Mantena.
What Happens If You Continue Without Treatment?
Unreplaced missing teeth accelerate bone loss. Over time, the jaw ridge shrinks, making future implants harder or requiring extensive grafting. The psychological and social toll of tooth loss only grows. Eating in public, smiling for photos, and even speaking clearly can become sources of anxiety. Addressing the problem sooner rather than later often leads to a simpler procedure and better long-term outcomes.
Understanding All-on-4 Dental Implants Cost
Cost is one of the first questions patients ask, and it is a wise one. All-on-4 dental implants cost depends on factors like the number of arches treated, the material of the final prosthetic (e.g., acrylic, zirconia), and any preparatory procedures such as extractions or minor grafting. We provide a clear, itemized treatment plan after your consultation. The practice accepts many dental insurance plans from Aetna, Delta Dental, Cigna, and others, and can help you maximize your benefits. For the remaining balance, we offer financing through Affirm, CareCredit, Cherry, Klarna, Comenity, Lending Club, Proceed Finance, Sunbit, Synchrony, and in-house payment plans. The long-term value of a fixed, permanent smile often outweighs the upfront investment when compared with ongoing denture adjustments, relines, and replacement.

All-on-4 vs. Dentures: Which Is Right for You?
Both All-on-4 implants and traditional dentures replace missing teeth, but they differ in stability, maintenance, and long-term cost. The table below helps you compare.
| Feature | All-on-4 Implants | Traditional Dentures |
|---|---|---|
| Bone preservation | Yes | No |
| Removable | No | Yes |
| Feels like natural teeth | Yes | Partial |
| Maintenance | Standard oral hygiene | Adhesives, soaking |
| Long-term cost | Higher upfront, lower over time | Lower upfront, higher long-term |
| Surgical procedure required | Yes | No |
All-on-4 acts like a permanent set of teeth anchored by dental implants. Dentures rest on the gums and require adhesive for stability. If you want to avoid removable appliances and maintain jawbone health, All-on-4 is likely the better fit. If you prefer a non-surgical option, traditional dentures remain a viable choice. Compare dentures and partials for more details.
What to Expect: Your All-on-4 Journey at Mantena Dental
Consultation and 3D Imaging
Your first visit includes a thorough exam, discussion of your goals, and a 3D CBCT scan to assess bone volume and anatomy. Dr. Mantena reviews the images with you, explains what All-on-4 can do in your case, and outlines the treatment timeline and cost. You will have time to ask questions and explore financing before moving forward.
Implant Placement and Immediate Provisional Teeth
On the day of surgery, you receive IV sedation or another comfort option so the procedure is pain-free. Dr. Mantena places the four implants using the computer-guided plan. A temporary, fixed acrylic arch is attached the same day. You leave with a full set of teeth that let you eat soft foods while your implants integrate with the bone.
Final Arch Delivery and Long-Term Care
After three to six months of healing, you return for the final prosthetic arch. This permanent restoration is milled and fitted to your implants for a precise, natural-looking result. We schedule regular checkups to monitor your implants and oral health. With good home care — brushing, flossing around the implants, and regular dental visits — your All-on-4 smile is built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
All-on-4 dental implants cost varies by case complexity, number of arches, and material choice. Mantena Dental offers flexible financing through Affirm, CareCredit, Cherry, Klarna, in-house plans, and others to help manage the investment. We provide a custom quote after your consultation and 3D imaging.
Yes. The All-on-4 technique is specifically designed for patients with bone loss. Angled posterior implants avoid areas of low bone density, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. A 3D CBCT scan during your consultation will confirm whether the All-on-4 approach works for your anatomy.
Yes. Many patients receive a fixed provisional arch on the same day their implants are placed. This interim bridge lets you leave with teeth in your mouth while your implants heal. Dr. Mantena attaches a permanent, custom final arch after the healing period.
Some medical and dental insurance plans contribute toward implant surgery or tooth extractions, though coverage varies widely. We verify your benefits and explain what your plan may cover before treatment. Our team also helps you apply financing options for remaining costs.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, All-on-4 implants can last 20 years or more. The replacement teeth (prosthetic arch) may need replacement after 10-15 years, but the implants themselves are designed for lifelong support.
