All-on-4 & Full-Mouth Implants — What You Need to Know
What Are All-on-4 & Full-Mouth Implants?
All-on-4 and full-mouth dental implants are advanced restorative solutions designed for patients who need to replace most or all of their teeth.
Using a strategic number of implants, a full arch of fixed teeth is securely placed — restoring function, stability, and appearance without removable dentures.
This approach allows patients to eat, speak, and smile confidently again with a permanent, long-term solution.

Dentures vs All-on-4
Why Full-Mouth Dental Implants Are a Long-Term Solution
❌ Traditional Dentures
Dentures may seem like a lower-cost option upfront, but many patients quickly discover their limitations:
Can slip or move while eating or speaking
Reduce chewing power and food enjoyment
Often require adhesives and frequent adjustments
Contribute to bone loss and facial collapse over time
Must be removed daily for cleaning
Can feel uncomfortable and unnatural
For many patients, dentures compromise confidence, comfort, and quality of life.
──────────────
✅ All-on-4 / Full-Mouth Dental Implants
All-on-4 dental implants are designed to replace an entire arch of teeth using a fixed, secure solution:
Teeth are permanently anchored — no slipping or removal
Restore up to 90% of natural chewing function
Help preserve jawbone and facial structure
Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
No adhesives. No nightly removal.
Designed for long-term durability and stability
This approach allows patients to smile, eat, and speak with confidence again.
──────────────
Why Many Patients Upgrade from Dentures to All-on-4
Patients who switch from dentures to full-mouth implants often say the same thing:
“I wish I had done this sooner.”
All-on-4 treatment is not about cosmetic improvement alone —
it’s about restoring function, confidence, and everyday comfort.safety, and long-term success.
──────────────
Who Is This Treatment Ideal For?

Are missing most or all teeth
Currently wear dentures and feel dissatisfied

Real Patient Experiences from the U.S. & Canada
I felt well informed throughout the process, and the experience was organized and reassuring from start to finish. The care and coordination exceeded my expectations.
I was nervous about traveling abroad for dental work, but Dr. Tabash and his team made the entire process clear, organized, and safe. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for my dental health.
First let me state that I am a retired dentist with past practice in several states, including with the US Navy in CA, and in Mo and UT. I saw Dr Tabash in 2023 with several problems: two lower right missing teeth that required dental implants and a missing upper incisor that needed a bridge, as well as a poorly done crown on another upper lateral incisor that needed to be replaced to match the new bridge. All this treatment was done over a period of several days in his modern Escazu facility. Since he has his own dental laboratory on site this facilitated a seamless and quick experience. The quality and fit of the upper bridge was absolutely first rate. The two implants (which were restored 6 months later) were the highest quality on the market and I was actually surprised at the absence of significant pain after the implant procedure. I should also mention that the cost was around 1/3 of the price I would have paid here in NV. As a bonus, while we were in Costa Rica, my wife and I spent five days traveling the country visiting the beaches and rainforest. I certainly highly recommend Dr Tabash and his friendly staff where, by the way, a lack of Spanish was not a problem. My veneers were completed efficiently, and I was back home in 10 days. The quality of care exceeded what I had experienced in the U.S.

Frequently Asked Questions
What implant brands do you use?
We use Straumann®
—The #1 Dental Implant System in the World.
Most clinics in Costa Rica use titanium implants. Few use Straumann®.
The difference?
• Faster healing
• 30% stronger (Roxolid® titanium-zirconium)
• Designed in Switzerland, trusted in 70+ countries
• Backed by over 40 years of scientific research
We chose Straumann® because it’s the standard trusted by elite surgeons — not just marketing claims.
Is the All-on-4 procedure painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort, not pain.
The procedure is performed using local anesthesia and, when appropriate, conscious sedation to ensure comfort.
Post-procedure soreness is typically mild to moderate and well controlled with medication. Many patients are surprised by how manageable recovery feels.
How many trips to Costa Rica are required for All-on-4?
In most cases, two trips are required:
First trip (7–10 days): surgery + placement of temporary teeth
Second trip (after healing): placement of the final permanent restoration
Your exact timeline will depend on your individual case and healing process.
What if I have bone loss? Can I still get All-on-4?
Yes — All-on-4 was specifically designed for patients with bone loss.
The implants are placed at strategic angles to maximize existing bone, often avoiding the need for bone grafting.
During your consultation, we evaluate your scans to determine if All-on-4 is the right solution for you.
What happens if an implant fails?
Implant failure is rare, but it can happen in any medical procedure.
If an implant does not integrate properly, it is usually identified early and can often be replaced after healing.
At Smile Retreat, every case is carefully planned and monitored to minimize risk and ensure long-term stability.
Are All-on-4 implants better than dentures?
For many patients, yes.
Unlike dentures, All-on-4 implants are fixed, stable, and do not move, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
They also help preserve jawbone structure, which dentures cannot do.
Am I a good candidate for All-on-4?
You may be a candidate if you:
Are missing most or all teeth
Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures
Want a fixed, long-term solution
Have bone loss but want to avoid extensive grafting
A personalized consultation is the best way to know for sure.
What type of anesthesia or sedation is used?
We use local anesthesia for most procedures, just like in the U.S. — so you’ll be awake but feel no pain.
For longer treatments or nervous patients, conscious sedation is also available. You'll remain relaxed and monitored by a trained professional the entire time.
How do I get started?
The first step is a personalized consultation.
We review your goals, medical history, and imaging to determine the safest and most effective treatment plan for you.
Can I use my own X-rays or dental scans?
Yes! If you’ve had a recent panoramic X-ray or 3D scan (CBCT), just send it to us before your consultation.
It helps us give you a faster, more accurate treatment plan — and may reduce the need for additional scans when you arrive.
If you don’t have recent scans, don’t worry — we’ll take care of everything here with advanced imaging.
