Full-Arch Dental Implants (All-on-4 / All-on-X, Coordinated with Specialists)

Dr. Scott Bonin brings exceptional training and deep experience to every full-arch case as the coordinator and restorative dentist. He graduated from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry and completed a U.S. Navy General Practice Residency. He has 24 years of clinical dentistry, and he is an alumnus of Spear Education, a peer-group organization dedicated to advanced training in restorative and full-arch implant care. He understands every step of a full-arch case from imaging and planning through the final prosthesis.

The surgical phase is performed by a trusted oral surgeon or periodontist Dr. Bonin partners with for these cases. These specialists place full-arch implants every week, use guided surgery and live imaging, and have the volume and training to deliver predictable results in complex cases. Dr. Bonin coordinates the referral, sends imaging and treatment-planning records directly, and stays involved through healing. The restorative phase, where the final prosthesis is designed, fabricated, and seated, is performed at Bonin Dental Care with our prosthetics lab. We use FDA-approved implant systems and high-quality prosthesis materials: zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-zirconia, or acrylic-titanium hybrids depending on your specific case.

Patients choose Bonin Dental Care for full-arch restoration because we're direct about what All-on-4 and All-on-6 can and can't do, and because the team-based model delivers a better outcome than asking one office to do everything. The result is fixed teeth that restore function, appearance, and confidence at a level traditional or implant-supported dentures can't match. We've coordinated treatment for patients throughout Sonoma County who went from denture wearers or people with severely compromised teeth to people who eat, smile, and engage without self-consciousness. The quality of life improvement is remarkable.

Cost is primarily driven by the number of implants (4 to 6), any bone grafting or sinus lift procedures, the material chosen for the prosthesis (zirconia is more durable; acrylic is less expensive), and the complexity of your case. A full-arch restoration is a significant investment, but it's typically less expensive than placing individual implants for each tooth. Most dental insurance plans do not cover implants or the prosthesis, though some plans may cover a portion. We file claims as a courtesy. Patient financing options are available to make treatment manageable. A detailed, itemized estimate is always provided before treatment begins, so you know exactly what to expect financially.

Timeline varies based on whether you choose immediate-load (same-day provisional) or traditional healing (delayed prosthesis). Immediate-load cases typically take 4 to 7 months from implant surgery to final prosthesis. Traditional healing takes 5 to 8 months. If you need significant bone grafting (like sinus lifts), add 4 to 6 months for graft healing before implant placement. Complex cases may take 9 to 12 months or longer. Dr. Bonin will provide a realistic timeline during your consultation based on your specific anatomy and choices.
