All-on-4 Dental Implants in Tijuana
Full Arch Restoration, Up to 70% Less Than the US.
Replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth with just 4 implants. Permanent, fixed, and natural-looking. Board-certified specialists. Easy drive from San Diego.
All-on-4 is the most efficient full-arch dental implant solution available today — and InStyle Dental Clinic in Tijuana makes it accessible to patients from San Diego and California who can’t justify US prices. With just four strategically placed titanium implants, we anchor a complete set of fixed teeth that look, feel, and function like your natural smile. No removable dentures. No adhesives. Permanent.
What Are
All on 4 Dental Implants?
This technique offers full-mouth restoration using only four titanium implants per arch (upper or lower jaw). This approach supports a fixed denture, providing a less invasive and more affordable solution than traditional methods that may require 6 or 8 implants.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is a full-arch dental implant technique that replaces an entire row of teeth — upper, lower, or both — using only four titanium implants per arch. Two implants are placed vertically at the front of the jaw, and two are angled at the back to maximize contact with available bone. A fixed prosthetic arch is then attached permanently to these four anchor points.
Unlike traditional removable dentures, All-on-4 implants are fixed in place — they do not come out. You brush them like natural teeth, eat with confidence, and never deal with slipping or adhesives again. Unlike conventional implant solutions that may require one implant per missing tooth, All-on-4 restores a full arch with just four implants, reducing cost, surgical time, and recovery.
- 4 implants per arch — upper, lower, or both
- Fixed, non-removable prosthetic arch
- Same-day teeth in many cases
- No bone graft required in most patients
- Titanium implants + full ceramic or hybrid arch
How Much Does All-on-4 Cost in Tijuana vs the US?
In the United States, All-on-4 dental implants typically cost between $20,000 and $30,000 per arch. For patients needing both arches — upper and lower — the total can exceed $50,000. At InStyle Dental Clinic in Tijuana, patients access the same materials, the same technology, and board-certified specialists at a fraction of that cost. The savings alone cover flights, hotels, and multiple trips for many California patients.

Not sure which option is right for you? Our specialist will evaluate your bone density with a CBCT scan during your free consultation and recommend the best solution for your specific case. Most patients who qualify for dentures are also candidates for All-on-4 — with dramatically better results.
Your All-on-4 Procedure — Step by Step
Step 1
Free Consultation & 3D CBCT Scan
Your first visit begins with a full panoramic X-ray and CBCT scan. Our implant specialist assesses your bone volume, gum health, and jaw anatomy to confirm your candidacy and design your treatment plan digitally before a single incision is made. You receive an exact cost estimate — no surprises.
Step 2
Extraction & Implant Placement
Any remaining failing teeth are removed, and the four titanium implants are placed in a single surgical session under local anesthesia or sedation. Two implants go vertically at the front of the arch; two are angled at the back to maximize bone contact and immediate stability. Guided digital surgery ensures millimeter precision.
Step 3
Temporary Arch (Same Day or Next Day)
In most cases, a temporary fixed arch is attached to the implants on the same day or the day after surgery. You leave Tijuana with a complete, functional smile — not a gap. This temporary arch is worn while the implants fully integrate with your bone over the next 3–6 months.
Step 4
Final Permanent Arch (Second Visit)
Once osseointegration is complete, you return to InStyle Dental for your final appointment. The temporary arch is replaced with your permanent, custom-fabricated prosthetic — full ceramic or high-strength hybrid — designed to match your facial features and bite. This is your permanent smile.
Most San Diego and California patients complete their entire All-on-4 treatment in 2 visits to Tijuana — the surgical visit (2–3 days) and the final arch visit (1 day). The San Ysidro crossing is 30–45 minutes from downtown San Diego.
Are You a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
All-on-4 was specifically designed to work with reduced bone volume — making it a viable option for patients who were previously told they couldn’t have implants. Most adults who are missing most or all of their teeth in an arch are candidates. Key requirements:
- Missing most or all teeth in one or both arches
- Sufficient jawbone density at the front of the arch (where vertical implants are placed)
- Healthy gums or treatable gum disease
- Good general health — no uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune conditions
- Non-smoker or willing to stop smoking during the healing period
What If I Have Significant Bone Loss?
All-on-4 was engineered for patients with bone loss. The two posterior implants are angled at up to 45 degrees to bypass areas of poor bone density and anchor in denser bone at the back of the jaw. This design eliminates the need for bone grafts in the majority of patients — a major advantage over traditional full-arch implant techniques that require extensive grafting.
Patients with severe bone loss may still require a bone graft or a zygomatic implant solution. Your CBCT scan at your free consultation will determine the exact approach needed.
What Material Is the All-on-4 Arch Made Of?
The prosthetic arch that attaches to your four implants comes in two main materials. Our specialist will recommend the best option based on your bite force, aesthetic goals, and budget:
Full Zirconia Arch
- Strongest material available — highly resistant to chipping and cracking
- Translucent, natural-looking appearance
- Stain-resistant — maintains color over time
- Ideal for patients with strong bite force or bruxism
- Premium option — longer fabrication time
Acrylic Hybrid Arch
(Temporary or Long-Term)
- More affordable option
- Lighter weight — preferred by some patients
- Easier to repair or modify if needed
- Commonly used as the temporary arch during osseointegration
- Can be upgraded to zirconia at the final visit

What All-on-4 Patients From California Are Saying
No one can tell the difference until you go through a bad experience… I was the one dreaming in having a beautiful smile and also a functional natural teeth… when I found this Ángel of the dental art and technique Dr Jacobo Zuniga in Tijuana.
I am flying from Dallas Texas every time I need him…and guess what? It worth the effort… he is the most accurate professional dentist I knew. His qualifications in surgery and also implants are making him different among his colleagues.

★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5
He went over all of my options and was straight up and honest with the solutions available to me - let me know the costs (without hidden fees) and wasn't rude (as some of the other dentists had been) so nice to finally have someone without judgement
He put quite a few implants in my mouth and even through all of my situation he was calm and knew the right way to handle the situation.
The communication was great and the thoughtfulness and care was there before-during-and after the procedures. I wrote a long review on his former workplace's google but I just want to get to the point, this is the dentist that I had been searching for - for what felt like my whole life.

I've been going to Dr Jacob for about 5 years now. I cannot say enough good things about he and his wife. The work that he has done for me has been above and beyond any expectations that o could have had. For years I have been horrified of any dentist. Dr Jacob restored my faith in going to the dentist. I have even gone as far as making him my primary dentist , he's That good! He brought my smile and confidence back.

Frequently Asked Questions — All-on-4 Implants in Tijuana PREGUNTA 1
How much do All-on-4 implants cost in Tijuana?
All-on-4 implants at InStyle Dental in Tijuana cost up to 70% less than in the United States, where prices typically range from $20,000 to $30,000 per arch. Your exact cost depends on your specific case, the materials selected, and whether additional procedures are needed. Contact us for a free quote after your CBCT scan consultation.
Is All-on-4 safe in Tijuana?
Yes. InStyle Dental uses FDA-approved titanium implant systems — the same brands used in top US clinics including Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Zimmer Biomet. Our implant specialists are board-certified with extensive training in guided digital surgery. Thousands of US patients receive All-on-4 treatment in Tijuana every year.
How many visits to Tijuana do I need for All-on-4?
Most patients need 2 visits. The first visit is the surgical appointment — consultation, CBCT scan, extractions (if needed), and implant placement — typically 2–3 days. The second visit, 3–6 months later, is for the final permanent arch placement (1–2 days). Many San Diego patients drive down for both.
Can I get teeth the same day with All-on-4?
In most cases, yes. A temporary fixed arch is attached to your implants on the same day as surgery or the day after. You leave with functional, natural-looking teeth — not a gap. The temporary arch stays in place during the 3–6 month healing period, after which it is replaced with your permanent prosthetic.
Do I need a bone graft for All-on-4?
Most patients do not need a bone graft for All-on-4. The technique was specifically designed to work with reduced bone volume by angling the posterior implants to reach denser bone. This eliminates the need for grafting in the majority of cases — which also reduces cost, treatment time, and recovery. Your CBCT scan will confirm whether a graft is needed in your specific case.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
All-on-4 uses four implants per arch; All-on-6 uses six. All-on-6 offers greater stability and load distribution, making it the preferred option for patients with higher bone density or stronger bite force. All-on-4 is the better option for patients with bone loss and is more cost-effective. Our specialist will recommend the best solution based on your CBCT scan results.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
The titanium implant posts are designed to last a lifetime. The prosthetic arch — whether zirconia or acrylic hybrid — can last 15–25 years with proper care. Regular dental checkups every 6 months and proper oral hygiene are essential to maximize longevity. All-on-4 is the most durable full-arch tooth replacement solution available.
How far is InStyle Dental from San Diego?
